SOLVED New celery 600 Bad MoBo

[Stealth]

Just got a new celery 600 pre-tested to 1080. went to put chip in and the socket clips that hold the HF broke off on me, I have an Abit VH6-II and like it very much, don't want to have to replace it just yet. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks Stealth

Thank you for the link, however my prob is not with my celery or my HSF, the prob is the socket. where the HSF connects to the socket is broke off. I just bought this MoBo last month and am not resdy to get rid of it yet. Thank you for your responce.

ive heard supergluing the tab back on works OK your not fished with that MB just yet

Oh and if that does not work and gluing a new tab on does not work for you you can get arctic silver glue and glue the HSF to your chip but this would be a last resort as it is permanent. If you dont want to wait or cant find arctic siver JB weld will wotk fine too.

goodluck
