Hello,

Now i can understand that the subject question may seem a bit weird, but I'm not sure exactly how to explain it. You see, I brought a FrostFlow 240L CPU Liquid cooler and its broke. I've tried getting a replacement through my Amazon sellers but its past 6 months so no luck for me.

The damage to it is as follows, the hole that the mounting bracket screw slides into on the heat sink has snapped off on one side, there making it un-mountable. So, I was wondering if there is anything i can buy like some kind of clamp or even if Zip ties would be appropriate at this point to secure.

Just to help you guys figure out what bit snapped of, I've highlighted it in this image.

most epoxies will have a datasheet. Just type in the epoxies name and "datasheet" into google, there you can find application methods and specifications.

If you look at the specs tab on that link you'll see it has an operating temp of 180F, which is probably good enough for where you need it on the block. It might not work directly on the CPU which could potentially hit 210F
