Broken Heatsink pushpin on Dell C6100 Motherboard. Replacement?
So I was removing an LSI RAID card from a C6100 SFF node/blade, and while unseating the PCIe card, my hand slipped, and I knocked the rear heatsink (I guess it's the GPU) loose and broke the pushpin.
Now, I obviously need reattach this heatsink before deploying the blade.
Any suggestions as to what the part number is for the pushpin and where I might be able to order a replacement?

A shows the NON-broken pushpin
B shows the spot where the pushpin goes
C shows the heatsink in place with no pushpin or thermal paste/gel
Also, which gel/paste should I use or does it matter which brand?

I believe the thermal paste is Artic MX4. Also, the pushpin can't be ordered individually and you would be required to order the heatsink (part # T4MPW) as a whole.
Hope this helps.

Chris,
T4MPW Is the CPU heat sink and not what I am looking for. Please review the picture and post again.

Sorry for the delay.. The part you are needing isn't available individually from Dell, I only see it available with the motherboard itself.
