yeah! plus you got to wait 2 weeks to get anything from Intel. And while this was a retail CPU it is well beyond the 3 year warranty. It is in my sisters box, which I built, and I was cleaning the huge amount of dust everywhere. I imagine the plastic clips get heat stressed over time. All I did was snap it shut and the damn thing blew apart!

Obviously the thing can't run without the heatsink. Kind of hoping someone has one sitting around and can stick in a bubble pack so I can get it in a couple of days :)

Anybody have one of those Intel plastic clips that were used to attach Intel aluminum coolers, for retail socket 370 processors? I broke one and there is a reason I don't want to put a third party CPU cooler on. This is on a Celeron that is mounted on a slotket ...there isn't enough room on the board, to support a third party cooler, which are usually much larger then stock.

Please back channel me if you can help. Thanks!
