I was very tensed when the pics were bendedtry underclocking and see what the voltage is.
but how is that cpu working with bent pins?
also use hwinfo. sometimes the values from sensors may not be that accurate. confirm the same within bios also.
With my hands i made the pins straight. I thought it to be very difficult task but it was fairly simple.

Your current processor is a very capable one. You could buy a new compatible mother board and try disabling a couple or triple of your cores. I have enabled only two of the cores (mb: Gigabyte GA880GM-USB3). It is good enough for casual gaming. You could try getting a better CPU cooler.

Yes, I have the same processor
Not all Motherboards have the feature of disabling the cores. However, You could also disable/enable cores from msconfig.
1. Run msconfig
2. Select Boot Tab
3. Click on Advanced Options
4. Enable the Number of Processors checkbox
5. Select a number and save, Restart
I am only using the stock cooler, it is noisy as hell. But I did use a *www.flipkart.com/deepcool-gamma-ar...=b_2&ref=ed66ab76-c432-4b45-9410-69ebe93dabbe breifly, which was better than the stock and very silent (cost me Rs.499/0).
There should better ones too.
