My fans started getting pretty loud yesterday, and I thought it was abnormal but it happens occasionally when it is under heavy load (which it had not been at the time).
I boot it up this morning and it was much louder than when it normally loads up. I restarted one more time (after cleaning all the dust on the outside) and it rebooted fine until about 2 minutes later it gets really loud and I hear a thud.
I see that my heatsink and cpu fan fell on my gpu and it was still running. I immediately turn the PC off and see the damage. [ (https://imgur.com/Qd0beWo)]View: https://imgur.com/Qd0beWo](https://imgur.com/Qd0beWo)
I hope it's not anything too big but there is a black piece to the left of my cpu which fell off as well (After further examination it seems to be the 1/2 hinge that connects the CPU to the mobo).
Relavent Specs:
Ryzen 7 2700x w/ stock fan
MSI x470 gaming plus
I can give a full spec list if needed.

It appears to still be connected partially on the bottom
How do I proceed from here?
