Hey. I have a back up machine with a MSI socket 939 kn8-sli motherboard.
I was going to update things and give it to a kid. I noticed though the plastic piece that hold down the CPU heat-sink was cracked and not holding the heat-sink down tight. The two prongs on one side cracked right off. (old I guess)
Anyway it is a pretty good machine and for its time was bleeding edge.
I want the plastic piece to replace on the mother board so I can put a CPU heat-sink back on it.
What is that thing called and where can I get one?
PS tried running it without a CPU heat sink for a minute and it automatically turned off to thermally protect the CPU. Burned my hand it was so hot! lol
