hello everyone so basiclly my i3 4160 heatsink was damaged and i have a g2030 heatsink (new) can i replace it with or buy a new one
 
Solution
Make sure the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU_FAN1 header on your motherboard. The temperatures will slowly climb for a bit and level off, again load up Windows and download something like CoreTemp and see what your temperatures are when gaming. The CPU's maximum temp is 100C and it will start throttling in the 90's. For a stock cooler you will probably see 70-80c under a heavy load. Idle temperatures will be 30-40c (depending on room temperature)

@snipergod87 and when i start the pc i get cpu fan error which occure when the cpu fan is under 800 rpm i suppose altho when i enter to the bios the cpu fan is a 1185 rmp and the temperature keep climbing from 35°c to 40° in 3minute
 
You didn't provide info about your motherboard, but there may be a setting for the minimum fan RPM required to set the alert. While in the BIOS the CPU isn't idle; you need to load an OS and then it should run cooler. If it doesn't get over 80°C at load, then you don't have a problem .
