| Hey Everyone,
I recently upgraded the chip in my socket 370 and in the process broke the
plastic retainer clip holders on both sides of the socket. Thus, the system
unit is laying sideways on the ground (it is a tower) and the Intel Celeron 1.3
GHz chip is covered by a heat sink and fan which has sticky heat dope attached.
When I turn the tower straight up, obviously the heatsink and fan eventually
fall off. Anyone have any ideas? Can a pci slot system fan keep an Intel
celeron 1.3 GHz processor cool? Thanks.

You can get thermal conductive epoxy glue, that will solve the problem
until you want to change the heatsink.
Be aware the weight of the heatsink and fan will be on the cpu pins!

There are heat sinks that come with clips made to attach to all six
retainers on the socket. You've broken two of them but there should be
four clip holders left. Take a look at this:

you can use thermal epoxy on it (this is heatsink compound, and glue in one)
however this means you can't remove the heatsink, or some motherboards have
holes around the cpu, tie it it on with string?
