Broken push pin of the hsf cooler

Hungragezone · Jun 11, 2016

Hello all
My PC :
I5 3570k (my mistake to buy it because i didn't OC)
MSI B75A-G43
2x4GB G.Skill sniper 1600
MSI GTX 760 OC
Seasonic S12ii 520

Yesterday, everything worked normally
Today, i change stock CPU fan for Deepcool ice wind pro
It's the 1st time i do it, and my case is a bit tide, so I accidently broke 1 of 4 push pin of the hsf http://i.imgur.com/4zSbjQk.jpg
But 3 others is ok.
I connect all the pin from psu to the mobo and turn it on. But it start for about 10 sec, no signal on my monitor, and then restart. It keeps restart like this forever. I must turn off by killing the power.
I tried many methods, switch ram, clear cmos, disconnect everything only using chip + ram, but the same thing happen.
I tried to switch back to my chip stock fan but nothing change.

Is my mobo died?

And can i still use this deepcool hsf with only 3 of 4 push pin normally?

The warranty has already expried 2 months ago...

The cooler is probably not making good contact with the CPU. The result would be rapid rise in temp. That in turn, would cause the system to shut down or reboot. Get a new cooler. They are pretty cheap on ebay.
Also check the the other 3 push pins are properly secure behind the board.

Yes, 3 others are completely through the mobo and fully expand. I replaced the hsf with stock fan but the system still keep reset again

Did you plug the cooler's fan back in the correct fan header; CPU FAN?

The I would suspect you may have some problem with the connections you disturbed.

Unless you damaged it installing the new cooler, I don't see how. Breadboard the system and check it out. Remove the motherboard from the case and set it on an insulated surface. Connect JUST the CPU/stock cooler*, RAM, PSU, monitor (to integrated video), and keyboard. Start the system by momentarily shorting the two pins that the power switch would plug into. See if you can get a display and boot to BIOS.

* I can't stress enough to check that all four of the cooler's feet are flat against the board and that the four black push pin posts are expanding the white 'fingers' behind the board equally. That is all that is keeping the heat sink pressed firmly against the CPU's heat spreader. Without that secure contact, there will be poor thermal transfer.
