Ive had my dh800 mobo since they first came out...and havent had an issue since. But today the silver spikie thing...(heatsink, FSB) whatever it is fell off...I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my computer wasn't booting and then I saw it hanging their....

First what is it?

Second it looks as if the top clip that holds the part down has fallen off.

What are my option here?

quite honestly, its a piece of metal used as a loop that holds the clips in place.

it's just soldered to the board, so if you had it, you could try soldering it back on (very carefully)...you could also use a different heatsink that just sticks on, or come up with some DIY attachment method.

past that, there's nothing you can do without a warranty.

you could also use a different heatsink that just sticks on

They have heatsinks that just stick on that would be compatible
