need clarification on issue

[Logan2005]

my system features an i5-2400 and gtx 470 and an arctic 11 pro cooler for any of u that use the 11 pro u know what i mean by 4 rubber things and 4 small rubber holes that have to be inserted or looped in the holes case its hard to explain anyway one day after cleaning the gpu and cpu cooler the cpu shot up to 80c and overheating upon idle turns out one of the things needed to get the small holes to loop snapped in half and so the fan didnt seat properly im assuming this is a cpu cooler issue as dad has got the a new one on the way but i need to clarify that it is the cooler that is the issue

If the mounting is messed up, then that will affect cooling.

 

In Scrapyard Wars Season 6, Linus had a computer that had a broken mounting mechanism and the CPU was idling at 80-90 degrees Celsius.

Apparently, yeah.

 

It can really throw off your cooling since it will impact the amount of heatsink actually touching the CPU.
