I have an AM2+ socket with a broken mounting bracket, meaning the stock fan (the one that just kind slips on) won't mount properly. Its been held in place for two months by just the thermal grease on it. Now, I need a new bracket, the grease just wont hold it anymore for some reason.

But I can't find (on newegg at least) a mounting bracket for the heatsink and fan! I wouldn't be opposed to just buying a new heatsink and fan, if it also came with some kind of new bracket. But looking through Newegg I can't find a heatsink and fan that comes with its own bracket for less than $30.

Anyone know of a place to get the bracket, or a fan/heatsink combo thats not HUGE (its in a vanilla case from Dell) and cheap, preferably around $12-$20?

What part exactly is broken (a photo would be nice)? Is it the part on the MB, or part on the fan/cooler? If the latter, you may be able to find an AMD OEM cooler on ebay for cheap.
