heatsink holder broken for socket 478. where do i purchase one?

[Guest]

The plastic bracket that hold the heatsink broke when i tried to remove the
latch. I've been trying to look for that type of heatsink holder. I look at
hp site but they don't sell one can anyone help me? or just a easy
replacement socket 478 CPU cooler that doesn't require taking the motherboard
out of the case.

Try Newegg.com, they have a good selection of socket 478 heatsinks. I just
replaced one of mine, too. It's just an easy replacement, no need to take
the motherboard out (for most of them, anyway!).
