The heat sink assisting the MOSFETS is missing a screw was like that when i got it through newegg, my temps are fine, but i was wondering if i can replace it with something. the screw that was in the antistatic bag was like spring loaded cant find a way to put it back.

The one screw and paste should hold it down fine.

well i dont think they used paste because there seems to be a board attached to the heatsink. now the top area of the heatsink is kinda hanging off a little.

well I got the screw from gigabyte and i'm having a hard time putting it back in, it doesn't seem to want to catch on to anything. I don't know if I have to apply a lot of pressure or screw it it in. Everything has been running fine though and temps have been good.

you do know that the heatsinks arent that important right? the IR3553 chips run cool enough that a heatsink isnt completely necessary
