my dx33 runs hot
so i put a chipfan on it
the holder for the fan-sink to the socket (5?)
was a plastic frame...crappy...poor, breaky
broken
so i took some hard wire (the kind one makes blowgun darts from)
and bent it into shape
4 bends on each side imagine 2 flat bottomed U's with one connection
for each "top of u"

the b's are the bend line
i kept measuring against the motherboard socket
and then soldered it so it became "one wire"
before soldering i did add some small rubber bits to avoid it touching the motherboard
then just unscrewed the chipfan from the sink
placed this frame on the sink
rescrewed the chipfan on the sink
and clicked it into place
it fits perfectly
and sits to tight i need a screwdriver to lift it out of the
"receivers"
preeeefecto!
