| Alright I broke one of the holes that holds down the fan about the CPU on my motherboard. It's a big black plastic thing that goes along the outline of the CPU socket. I have a Pentium 4, where can I buy a replacement so that I can mount another fan? |

| LOL, you mean you broke the clip on the heatsink? Hope you didn't crush the CPU along with it. You can buy a new heatsink at any computer hardware store. |

| No no I didn't crush the CPU...the part that is broken isn't on the heatsink tho, its the black part on the motherboard that you mount the heatsink onto...I hope thats clearer :nervous: |

So you broke a piece off the motherboard? Sounds like you need a new motherboard then... |

LOL
"its a stupid piece of plastic"
ROFL:haha::stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
ahem anyways
you cant just BUY a new piece of plastic
only solution to this is to buy a new motherboard! if the heatsync isnt broken and the cpu isnt broken it shouldnt cost TOO much however theres a good chance you'll prolly need to format
btw how the did you manage to break that??? |

No there wouldn't be any need to format. The hard drive wasn't damaged.
Probably do need a new motherboard though, or tie a rope around the heatsink, lol... how DID you break that? |

I yanked out the HS/Fan and it broke. Just to illustrate...
I need to replace the big black mount. |
