Should i change mine ?

[BlueColorBest]

Asrock G41C-GS. I want to ask if i need to change the motherboard because my intel cpu is overheating and making my pc freeze with buzzing sounds and turning off. Will be thankful if someone can help me.

Would be nicer if you listed your specs (all of them)

Do you have your cpu overclocked?
If not, you could try getting the dust off your cpu cooler.
Your motherboard doesn't have anything to do with your cpu overheating. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Generally when your CPU is overheating, the culprit is the heatsink and not your motherboard. See if your CPU fan is busted and/or if your heatsink is clogged up with dust.

A better cooler may help. What are the specs?

Try getting out the dust with compressed air or a vacuum, be careful not to break anything and hold the fan still so it doesn't spin.

It is for sure but my fan is hard to clean up its bettle from 2005

[Darchitect]

if you cant clean it I would recommend a Hyper 212 EVO from cooler master: never have had any problems with it

Well cleaning your fan is always easier (and cheaper) than getting a new motherboard so I recommend you try that first.

I recommend it as well, great budget cooler. Runs fine on my i7 6700K.

Still easier to clean than it is to replace the whole mobo. Also, replacing the heatsink is still waaaay easier and cheaper than a new mobo. The problem is most definitely with your cooler and not your motherboard. Though looking at the system, it may be time for an upgrade soon.

I see, looks pretty hard to clean indeed.
I cleaned some heat sinks with a bike pump a little while ago. Works like a charm. You could try to do that, but do not forget to hold the fan still.

Yes, and you are running a 9 year old CPU/motherboard.

 

And for te last time, clean or replace your heatsink to fix your overheating issues, or replace the whole system (heatsink included) are your only real options.

As mentioned earlier on, I would defiantly recommend a 212 Evo Cooler. If you get one make sure you have enough clearance in your case for it! New thermal paste wouldn't go amiss either, if you havent changed it in a while. (While = 3/4 years)

Do i need to remove the motherboard from the pc or ?

If your case has a cutout on the motherboard tray, then no. If it doesnt have the cutout then yes. To see whether it has a cutout, take the side panels off, look at the side that is the back of the motherboard. If there is a huge hole and you can actually see the motherboard instead of just a metal tray, then youre in business, otherwise you will have to extract the motherboard first.

Given the age of your machine, there is a good chance that your case doesnt have the cut-out.

I agree, just clean that heatsink. I think you are better off replacing the whole system than buying a new heatsink.
