CPU 96c idle temps

[Lam1080p]

I refitted my CPU cooler (stock Intel cooler), some of the pins (or whatever they are) on the cooler were bent (they were previously), and I pushed all of the pins and 2 of them clicked. My PC temperatures were what they were before I refitted it before I put my desktop on my desk. I take it onto my desk and idle temps are really high - 96c. I reboot and go into my bios and witness my CPU temperatures quickly raise. to the 90s, but I turned it of before it could reach it. It isn't a thermal paste issue. What could I do?

I am suspecting the only solution is to get a new cooler, an I am going to regardless, but would there be a temporary solution for now or is the new cooler the only solution?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the cooler isn't properly installed or is damaged.

I'd not start the board without a new cooler installed.

Do you put new thermal paste on , probably came a little loose.

What case do you have?

How did you end up an i5-4690k with a budget H81 board?

Haven't bothered to upgrade motherboard.

The thermal paste is new - it was applied about a month ago.

The temps just rise at about 3c per second.

It is damaged - some of the pins or whatever they're called on the caller are damaged.

I would upgrade.

Also - this is my case.

Definitely time for a new cooler, the pins are what keeps the cooler properly seated to the cpu for heat transfer. You mentioned only 2 pins clicked, all 4 need to engage completely. That's likely why your temps are so high. I'd leave it alone and wait for the new cooler if it were me. It's not worth the heat/risk to go without a pc for a few days.

no short term fix, either all 4 pins click or there is not a good enough contact. Do not use it until the new cooler is installed, clean and apply new paste.

Thanks. I'm gonna have fun gaming on my Celeron 1007U, lol.

This a valid cooler? http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=505

I fixed it.

I messaged a friend and he just got back to me. I pushed down on the pins harder and it is working! Thanks for all of the suggestions.
