So, I don't know if the CPU is now melted under my stock CPU cooler (if it is, I deserve it completely), but I need to know if it's still good.
It reached around 85 degrees Celsius for 5 seconds before self shutdown. And me being stupid, I turned it back on. Again...and again...and again. Until my friend told me "Dude, you cooked it" (I admit it: I cried).
But now I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan coming into the mail soon and I wanna know if it's worth it.
Also these things happened:
I'm in an all carpet house with a antistatic wristband.
I put the thermal compound on the size of half a pea (and let the heatsink spread it out).
I have a 500w PSU that may have caused the overheating, but then put back my old 350w.
My PC is prebuilt. A Trooper X6.
