I don't want to know how you broke it

I have no idea what kind of HSF you need but for now here is what I would suggest.

Since the fan is now junk, remove as much of it as you can and still have the HS attached
to the CPU. Then bond or tie(with zip-ties) a new fan to the sink. This will keep the comp
up&running while you shop. An 80mm fan at 30cfm with no sensor/tach wire will atleast
let you surf.
