Hey guys, I had a problem with my CPU temps too high (up to 100, down to 32 idle and 50 on load now), as it was my first attempts I have screwed up alot of things.. I've broken the stock fan, and spilled thermal paste inside the socket, got cotton stuck in the socket pins and accidentally bent a few and broke two... Right now, I've got everything fixed - installed a new CPU fan (Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO), reapplied thermal paste, everything was cleaned out and a few pins were bent back. There are still about two broke, though. Is this a problem? I will buy a motherboard in the future, but will I be able to use my PC safely for about 3-4 months? Thanks in advance.

My CPU is safe, by the way. All the paste is cleaned, and all the pins are fine, apart from the socket. I use a DP67DE motherboard and an Intel i7-2600 processor.
