Broke off one of the tabs that the heatsink attaches to. Tried reattaching with epoxy and it does not hold. Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can fix this without buying another mainbaord?
Well if your mainboard is epuipped with mounting holes you could buy a headsink that is attatched with them.
i have no idea how you could fix that tab. sockets are made of crappy material...
You may could use conductive glue from Arctic Silver, to permanently fasten the heatsink on the DIE of your CPU.
However, I'd recommend buying a new Cooler, or at least a new mounting-clip (if available), hugging into all 3 of the socket-tabs, or utilizing the mounting-holes of your mainboard.
hth, colo
I talked with a gentlemen from Artic Silver today and he told directed me to Overclocker's web site. He said he had seen something on repairing the tab or attaching heatsink with wire there and I looked but could not find anything so I thought send a post might help direct to that previous article/post. Thanks for your input.
