I have this P3 motherbaord that i am trying to get running again but i noticed that the latch was snapped off, i tried to make a "make shift" piece but it broke off too. Is there any fix for this, or do they make CPU fans that will latch on to the other clips (larger sized ones slightly to the right and left) Thanks for any help


there is a pic of what i am talking about in the MYURL link

get one of those heatsinks with the 3-pin retaining clips. the sk6+ is quite an affordable heatsink, imo. some places do sell the clip separately, i think. but i dunno.

as for the picture: geocities doesnt allow direct linking of the picture. you'd have to copy and paste the url if you're interested in looking at the pic (for other ppl obviously)
