I recently took out the intel stock cooler to check the amount of thermal compound but accidentally broke of the pushpin white thing made up of plastic ( i hope you understand ) but anyway the cooler is working fine and i am getting the same temp but is it necessary to change the cooler?

Hi Ammar Saeed
Keep a close eye on your CPU temps , if they start to rise and hit over 70 degrees then get a new cooler

i havnt got thermal compound but the cpu temps are rising to 95 during stress testing of only 30 seconds so it could be the thermal compound

thats very dangerous you will toast your cpu , put thermal paste on immediately ,at that temp its starting to do damage to your cpu , if temp then goes over 70 degrees get a new cooler

ok so i installed the thermal compound and the idle temps are now on 45 but under load it still hits 80 so i guess i have to change the cooler then?
