So guys
My previous motherboard got broke and I ordered a new one which just arrived today.
Then, to make things worse, my heatsink is broken. The peice of metal that goes through the middle is bent slightly (that clips onto the motherboard), preventing me from cliping in the heatsink properly, When trying to manouver it in, the proccesor got forces out of its socket and some of the pins bent.
How do I unbend the pins without causing further damage? At first I though all hope was lost and that I would have to throw my $200 processor away. But my freind says he managed to unbend a badly damaged processor and fix it with some special tools.
How exactly would I got about fixing this? and what tools would I need and where from?

And my second question is, what do I do about the heasink? I have tried bending the peice of metal back into place, but it just wont budge (I held one side flat while trying to get the other level with it).
If I cant fix it, where can I get a new fan + heatsink from? I need it to ben an AMD Athlon fan for 939 socket processors. I've tried looking around but cant seem to find one.
