Guys I screwed up pretty bad. So recently my CPU temps while gaming has going upto 85-90, which I know is bad. I have an i7 2600k. So I opened up the pc and cleaned it thinking it was a dust problem, but there was little to no dust. So I opened the CPU cooler, and I use the stock cooler they gave me and saw that the thermal paste on the back was almost gone, there is still little left and some of it is on the processor itself.
I knew it was my thermal paste problem. Now when I tried to put the cooler back, 2 pins snapped in, but the other two I can't seem to put them in place, no matter how hard I pushed its not going in, I pulled one a bit too hard and it came apart, I put it back in and now it's even more screwed up. Idk why but I decided to turn on the pc like that and now my idle temp is 80-90. I ****ed up everything! I'm feeling so lost now, guys please help me out here, what do I do now? Buy a new CPU cooler? Or what? Please help!
