Need help repairing my comp

[rubencruz]

Hi
I need some help .. I am not familiar with computer desktop hardware.
I believe I broke my retention bracket ,( I think that's what it's called ) for am3 chip . I need this bracket to attach my CPU cooler . I checked NCix and mem exp they don't carry that piece ..
Just wondering if anyone knows we're I can get this piece locally ?
( Vancouver )

Thanks in advance
Ruben

you can probably buy a used or non working motherboard and take it off from there or buy an aftermarket cooler that doesn't use the bracket

I believe amd used the same bracket for the am2 and am3 boards
