I found someone throwing away the computer at a yard sale on craigslist.com(Didn't pay anything for it), but I was wonder if the cpu cooler from the desktop can be replaced with a somewhat more modern heatsink(the heat sink came with my i5 3570k). The Compaq heatsink is so dirty that it's not worth cleaning it.

Cleaning it takes 5 minutes and is free.
