CPU heatsink clips

[PPLdude]

Well,

I may have broke one of the clips(That clips into the mobo) on my non-stock heatsink.

Is there somewhere to buy new clips, or do I need to replace the whole cooler?

You really don't supply much information, how do you expect us to know what cooler/clips etc you are talking about?

I assumed all fan based heatsink clips are the same.

Its the Cooler-Master-Hyper-TX3-EVO-Cooler

edit-

The clips that keep the heatsink in place on the cpu, by going into the motherboard

I think he means those pins.

I think he means those pins.

I usually just replace all those plastic clips with suitable bolts, nuts and washes when one breaks...happens quite often.

Any recommendations?

quick and dirty way, if I wanted to at least use my machine,

use zip ties on the one hole.

would hold the heatsink in place, and flush to to CPU underneath......
