I recently took the heatsink off (crappy Dell heatsink) off of my Athlon X2 5000+ (2.6GHz), which is not unusual, I've done it a few times before with no negative effects. I took the heatsink off again and this time, the CPU came up with it, and I bent 5-10 pins. I [somehow] managed to bend them back, and it still works.
The only problem, is that one core shows a temp of 90C-105C (the other core shows normal temps). Does anyone know why it's doing this...or what I can do (if anything) to fix it?
I clean the CPU/HSF and re-apply AC5 every time I take off the HSF.
