The cpu only goes in one way, theres a gold tab one one corner you align with the correct socket corner. This is all explained in your mobo manual.

But if the mobo cracked, you didn't follow the directions and you'll need a new mobo. If you bent pins on the cpu you'll need a new one of those too unless you can straighten them without breaking them.

You probably didnt align the gold arrow right when putting it in. As for the broken piece. Thats fixable if you get a after market heatsink that uses a different mechanism. EX- the Coolermaster Hyper 212+
