I use it as a media pc, and it sits around 50c on idle with a noctua nh-d14

It seems that those phenom CPU's are soldered/glued on. Risk of damaging your CPU is really high, especially for a novice. I wouldn't bother.

 

Also make sure the airflow inside the case is good, and that it can escape from the case. Nice CPU cooler is nice, but if it has no place to exhaust the hot air...

Thanks, the flow is a little limited in the case I currently use but I had this problem for a while (even when I used the Antec Lanboy Air it sat around 45c idle).

Seems like it might be time for the guy to retire :)

It's old hardware. Considering how you are using it: use it till it breaks. (or if you can replace it for free/almost free)

 

My gf uses my old pc, an AMD Athlon X2 4200+, as a media pc. She also intends to use it till it breaks. (and is sattisfied with the performance btw, and happy with the stability and all vs her laptop)

It uses solder. It'll be a pain to delid, and you won't get ANY temperature changes. Metal, which is used here, already is pretty much the best heat transfer method. 

 

If you have temperature issues, check your cooler or thermal paste application.
