Default I think I'm screwed

So a couple months ago I put together a new build Asus P4P800-VM
motherboard. Used a snazzy aftermarket heatsink with fan on the processor.
Seemed liek a really snug fit though, but it went on. Just last night comp
shut down on me. I open it up and 3 of the 4 of the "clips" on the
motherboard bracket that the heatsink fits into that hold the heatsink down
broke off. I guess the tension was too high. Can this piece be replaced? Or
is it time for a new MB with a lesson well learned.

Thanks
