    Default Stock Air cooler Failure

    Greetings Everyone,

    I just got my computer from the movers having just got back from Iraq. It looks like the plastic links that hold it to the motherboard let loose and it went spinning around on its journey. I don't see any apparent damage. The only thing that was malformed was the aircooler itself. YAY for small cases that don't let things move around.

    So my question is, i put the metal back in the plastic housing, is it worth using this cooler or should I just buy a new one?

    Respectfully,

    I think some of the aluminum fins are bent, so i'm not sure i should risk using it?

    I mean, yeah technically it would still probably work - but it would be less efficient because of the bending/warping. Getting a CPU cooler depends on your use, you have a"k" processor - which means it overclocks well. If you don't overclock, then basically any generic CPU cooler will work fine.
