(PC NOOB HERE) Recently I acidentally removed my heatsink/cpu fan by pulling because it wasnt coming out. When I pulled only two of the bottom left and right came out but I cant put them back in the holes anymore. Now my PC is slower in-game and the fans are loud. any solutions?

If you warped the cooler, you'll need to buy a new one. Either it's warped or you've reinstalled it incorrectly; what you've described are symptoms connected with an improperly connected cooler, causing the CPU to heat up and throttle to keep from dying.

Stop running the computer if u only have 2 of the 4 connected, you are damaging your CPU, it will be overheating straight away, as people said, they are worthless junk they never play good, you can get a great cooler for under $40
