I am in deep <beep> because my passive fan dropped off from the motherboard from the chip below the cpu (maybe the co processor or something). The little hook that pushes it in place broke and has to be solded back on.

So far the system works, even in gaming, and uptime is over 50 days but surely this will one day become a problem.

My eyes are too bad to make a tweak to my system to put it back on - i will probably blow the whole thing up, and i need a new pc anyway. But should I? Or do you think it is worth fixing? And if so, how?
