Are there any 2 clip heatsink combos for those with broken sockets?

I broke the mounting on my ECS k7s5a for the heatsink {dont ask} Can I move the heatsink over to one of the other mounting pads or do I have to find a heatsink with duel clips? so I wouldnt need to use the middle clip pad?
Thanks

I wouldn't dare move it if I were you, unless you want a fried chip or a cracked core. That will put the pressure where it is not supposed to be. A better solution would be a Taisol HSF like the one you can get here. It's a little pricey at $36, but you need to pay the price for breaking that mounting clip.

Thanks for the info.
