nope. You bent the paper clip in such a way that it's extremities go under the two tabs on the socket , and the middle part sits on the heatsink itself - but this only works for socket 3 boards. If you're using a socket 1 board, the only way of attaching a heatsink is thermal adhesive...
Here's a pic posted on another thread by tetrium: http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/inteltetr … 3NjkyNw==/?ref= bend the paper clip like that.
Here's a quick diagram I put together:
The red line represents the heatsink clip. Most socket 3 boards have some 2 tabs, diagonally opposite from each-other that can be used to hold a heatsink in place. Hope the diagram makes sense.
