Just above the socket mounting hole you can see the uhhh "thingy" is detatched on the right side. It occured when mounting my waterblock. I guess the plastic washer broke it off some how. Anyways, how can I re-attatch it? "It" is just over .125".

I'm in no hurry because tommorrow I will have a NF7-S REV2.0!! (should have been here today but the FedEx guy dosn't know how to knock on the door very loud!!)

Thanks for your thoughts.
 
Push it back on top of where it was and use a soldering iron to slightly melt the metal so it contacts, but be very careful, its easy to mess up and melt everything in the area. Good Luck!!!
 
Sounds good. I'll do it sometime tommorrow. Maybe I'll let you guys know how it worked. But I dunno if I'll feel like hooking my CPU up again.
