Yes i some how kick the sk 6 heatsink before I put it in my cpu, and now its making a rattling noise, very annoying. I look down to see what the problem was and some of the heatsink fins came unattached, this is making the rattling noises. Whats the best way to glue these fins back together, or should I cut them off. its not completely unattached its just hanging off but its still attached to the heatsink.

Personally, I would just cut them off if they aren't attached very well as it is and you computer is running fine. If you are worried about it, glue them back on, but if it's just a fin or two it won't make a huge difference, but then again, every little bit could matter....

If you haven't had it for long, get a replacement. They shouldn't come off that easily.
