My IC7 has been acting up for a while. I looked at it today and two of the northbridge hooks are out. I had installed a heavier HSF.

Any ideas about what is the best way to tup them back?

krazy glue. just make sure you don't get any on the motherboard traces. use a toothpick if you have to.

I finally fixed it by using paper clips soldered to small pieces of breadboard PCB on the back of the motherboard. The paper clips are loose but the PCB pieces hold them when the springs pull.
