Intel Stock Cooler Broken

redscape

Hey Guys!

 

I have an old desktop which my dad used to do programming in. He bought it from another guy. Mini ITX Touchmate PC. Specs:

 

Intel Pentium G2020

2GB Ram

No Graphics Card (Only Intergated)

320GB Hard Drive

 

Recently, it started to overheat. When I opened it up to clean it, i noticed the Intel Stock Cooler was moving around a little. When I removed the mobo and checked, two pins were broken. The remaining two pins managed to hold it in place along with the adhesiveness of the thermal paste. Since I am doing a complete clean up of the pc, I removed the CPU, Thermal paste and cooler and have to reapply thermal paste. Is the thermal paste and two remaining pins on the cooler enough to hold it? Or should I buy a new one?

Go to a local PC shop. Pick one up for a couple bucks. You don't have to apply thermal paste, which is a plus. Just get one with the copper slug (aka not Skylake ones) and you'll be fine.

idk

i dont think the copper slug will matter a lot on a 55w tdp chip.

That i didnt do, but if he is going to upgrade he might aswell get a good aftermarket one.

If he should upgrade is a another question, but yeah that chip doesnt need that much cooling :P

Stock coolers are everywhere

Literally - if the place builds machines for customers, most of the time they go with aftermarket

My local PC shop has Intel stock coolers by the bucketload, like 50 of them in a box and they're $3 a piece

Okay, going to get another stock one, its pretty cheap. But, just wanted to ask something. I saw this video on YouTube in which the same thing happened to another guy, he just but it pack with the two working pins and the temps seemed fine......

For short use perhaps. I've installed stock cooler with 1 pin loose. That went to 60C while in BIOS. I'd recommend just getting another stock, or some supercheap aftermarket which fits the case.

Evo is probably too big for mITX system...
