does cheap oem HSF comes with a Retention module ??
BTw : its me who broke his Retention module
they don't. you simply need to get a CM TX3 for 1.3k. as the retention module already gone (thanks to you), simply bolt down the HSF with the provided backplate. done.
offtopic: what were you trying do with a retention module? click pictures with your Micromax Q5?
lol
Found a guy selling Retention modules on Ebay will order from there

It was already Broken .. but when i opened i saaw the HSF was hanging with the HSF Power cable ..TX3 is a heatsink with a fan. i don't see any reason to not run on a working PSU. its just a substitute for an Intel or AMD HSF.
WHAT? you opened the cabinet & HSF came out? chances are the retention module's base got loose from the motherboard. but usually its bolted down with a steel backplate. maybe got loose. and thats the reason of the high temperature. cause heatsinks base isn't touching the processor.
and yes, your friend lucky, the processor didn't melted
and that way the PC was running?
BTW what insane temperature were being displayed in HW monitor?
not insane actually.. 50-55c
while my proccy idle's at 25-30
sam bhai ..
do u have a yahoo id ?
