Question Dropped my pc now it overheats

[Tommyledger]

My pc dropped from standing up to its side while I was playing a game, I instantly dropped to 1fps. I restarted my pc and it struggled. And it overheated instantly getting too 100° which it has never done before, I’ve left it a few days and every single time I load it up now it overheats instantly. Idk what’s wrong, idk what to check is broken. Idk if it could just be thermal paste but I’m guessing it’s something bigger. Any suggestions

Sounds like the cpu cooler is no longer seated correctly. Now it could be its just come loose but it could be part of the mounting has broken. Take a look at the cpu cooler and motherboard, if no obvious damage then try reseating with fresh thermal paste after cleaning off the old paste.

I mean, the pump seems to be working if I’m looking into the right thing, on my bios settings aio pump is at 2100 rpm.

What type of cooler is this? An AllInOne liquid?

The pump may well be working fine.
But the block on the CPU is probably dislodged a tiny bit. No longer making full contact with the CPU face.

Standard 120mm liquid cooler.
Unsure of the brand.

My comment still stands...the part on the CPU is slightly off-kilter.

Sorry I’m not experienced experienced with computers, how would I change that part of the cpu that’s fully off, like behind the logo that you don’t know what brand, I take that off and move it?

It needs to be removed, ALL the thermal paste cleaned off, new paste applied, and reinstalled.

If that is outside your skills, find a local shop or trusted friend to show you how.

Completely took it out, cleaned it, changed thermal paste. Put it back in and is overheating on just the bios settings

That suggests it is still not connected correctly.
