Bent CPU - Cheapest Replacement?

[CoconutFan]

Hello!

I own an HP Pavillion 6310y computer that was overheating terribly this week. I opened up, tried to clean out the heat sink, and ended up bending a bunch of the CPU pins somehow in the process. What is the cheapest CPU I can buy to replace it? I'm trying to go under $70 -- the computer is about 5 years old, anyway, so I am hoping that processors will be cheap.

I have a Pegatron M2N78-LA motherboard and an AM3 processor socket with a TDP of 95 W. Would, for instance, this processor work?

Thanks very much!

No that will not work. That processor takes a FM2 or FM2+ socket. This might be what you are looking for...

That fits your FM3 socket and is very budget oriented.
