Heatsink retention clip broken accidentally

idata — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:42:29 GMT

Namaste ! I am a big fan of Intel products and really like them. I had purchased an Intel DX58SO motherboard with Intel i7 920 2.6 GHz processor a while back.

However, while assembling it, I accidentally broke one retention clip of the heatsink. Could you please tell me if it could be replaced or do I have to purchase a new heatsink ?

Thank you.
