If you can salvage the PIECES try epoxy, if not able to do this try to get the same motherboard with same chip set. This might be a hard to find itemwell the cradle is still there and is epoxy safe to use on a motherboard? that was my first thought but i wasn't sure if it would be safe or not. also, I've been looking around for heatsinks/fans for this specific motherboard/chipset and it is really hard to find. so with all this information i have here, if the epoxy is safe to use to adhere the cradle to the motherboard, and combine that with the thermal COMPOUND i think that we may have a winner. what do you think?Epoxy or CA (thick) ....... ideal if you are preared to go this route - and it probably is the best as finding another mobo will be less than easy.

Find if you can a small area of mobo with nothing on it - one corner maybe, just a small PATCH and apply some CA or mix and apply some epoxy - and let is set/cure and inspect. If OK - move to repair project. Scratch up cradle underside a bit to help 'key'' the adhesive - same too if careful for small areas of PCB - if you get a good bond then things should work out.

Modern PCB's are fiberglass or similar which is pretty inert.Yes the epoxy is safe its non metalic. use the 2 part clear. What you do is mix equal portions & mix & apply. Go to NEW egg.com you will find your heat sink at this site.Or you can go to tigerdirect.com. GOOD LUCKthanks guys i appreciate all the help!!
