    CPU mounting bracket (the bit that goes behind the CPU) snapped on my server’s motherboard while I had it out for cleaning, so I just zip-tied it in and put a bit of wood behind the board to keep it firmly pressed against the CPU.

    It worked fine for 2 years until I decommed the server, never had an issue with it.
