Okay I'm in deep shit and need some help. I was getting very high cpu temp (over 70c idle) at first I thought it's the psu and that psu burned I thought it was faulty, I got another psu and it didn't help either. Then I thought it's the heatsink and changed it too but it didn't work either. Put the thermal paste too but didn't work. Cleaned the pc. Tried every single thing there is but didn't help a bit then I decided to take the processor out to check if there's any bent pin turns out there was one bent pin and one broken. The bent one was dealt with but I have no idea what to do with the broken pin. I don't even have the pin anymore there's just a tiny empty space where the cpu is placed due to a broken pin. I have no effing idea what to do and will appreciate every single bit of guidance/help/tips. P.S. i cannot change or sale the motherboard, I've already spent enough on my pc and regularly ghar waloun se izat hoti rehti hai so please help.. P.s. You are awesome.


Ignore the grammar. I'm using mob as my pc is in very nice condition as I already stated. Autocorrect :mad:

The only option you might have is to add 2 case fans a copper heatsink really good one. For the case fan make sure there is one blowing out from right under the psu if your casing is a tower and one blowing inwards from the front bottom. This will improve airflow. The other thing you can do is keep the case open from one end and if thats the case just put both the fans to blow inwards instead of the previous setup. If you do get a good purecopper heatsink+fan combo going with this setup you should be able to get it down 5 degrees or so. Dont risk getting the pin back on it might short the chip. At this point you are pretty much out of luck your best bet is to use it as long as it lasts in this condition and then save up for a new one.

Bro, you are in an unfortunate situation. You will need to change your processor motherboard, no other viable solution.

Also, how did the pin broke? Who installed your processor?

Yar I know it can be fixed there are several tutorials on it too but I just want your advice on how to fix it. It's not processors fault, processor doesn't have any pins on it. These pins are those on which the processor is placed on motherboard. I cannot buy a single thing anymore I've already spent enough on my pc I've changed 2 psus bought fans. Just bought a gpu too.

yeah [MENTION=882]LeGenD123[/MENTION] Misunderstood it :p the only way is to replace your motherboard + temperature of the processor depends the quality of thermal paste and cooler.

Sorry, I meant motherboard.

Fixing a broken pin is a difficult and tedious matter, stability is not guaranteed.

Once again, who installed the processor in your PC?

Processor should be installed on the motherboard with care, to avoid situation like yours. Pins do not break on their own.

Is your motherboard under warranty? If yes, then request the dealer to give you a favor and replace your motherboard. If the dealer demands some charges, pay him. Keep in mind that warranty is void for "damaged" parts.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
