Cpu temp says 100 degrees in bios

Yup you're thermal throttling there from what I can see, you need a new cooler if one of the pins is broken, you may as well just lay it flat and place the cooler on top of the CPU cause that's what's happening in effect.. set a budget for a new cooler and let's see what we can advise :)

Then you need to replace the cooler or you could try contacting Arctic about replacement mounting hardware. There's uneven mounting pressure being applied to the CPU heatspreader.

This is the heatsink:

Ok the best thing u can do rn is to loosen the pin thats on the other side of the broken one.
 
No i'm not joking, 3 pins holding a CPU cooler is bad, you either get a new cooler now or you just loosen the pin thats on the other side of the broken one, when a CPU cooler is held by 3 pins it leans to a side and you are not getting %100 contact between the base and the heat spreader.
give that a shot. ;)

Basically any tower style cooler that mounts to a backplate behind the Motherboard is going to be better than an Intel cooler clone.

for example if the broken one is #4, you go and loosen #1, and make sure #2 & #3 are holding it well.
It either gets held by all 4 pins or only 2 pins like the method i just showed you.
 
NZXT H510 Case?

Nice looking but not very practical for cooling.

I'm so over this does anybody wanna buy this computer lol I'll ship it to you.

Don't give up on that PC, it just seems to need a heatsink. Easily replaced. Given the case styling and component looks, the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Black Edition would both work very well and look good in that system.

Your socket is LGA1151. The 212 Black, as with the vast majority of coolers out there, advertises support for LGA1151. Anything that supports LGA1200/1156/1155/1150 will support LGA1151.

Chill and take a deep breath. An broken CPU cooler is but a small obstacle compared to the vastly more difficult troubleshooting quagmires out there. Even if you haven't ever built a computer before, you'll be fine. One of my friends built his very first computer and figured out how to install his 212 Black without any help aside from the in-box instructions. Take your time and take it easy.

These stock-pattern coolers with 4 plastic pushpins are easy to break like this. I recently retired an Ivy Bridge Xeon workstation I built for someone else that's been hard at work for 6 years and only found out that half the IHS wasn't in contact with the cooler due to a broken pushpin. That's 6 years of overheating and thermal throttling right there; both the CPU and board still work just fine.

It comes with all the fittings hardware needed to mount all modern and even older cpu socket types. You'll be good. As @tabascosauz mentioned above, read the instructions and take your time. If you have any issues, come back here and we'll help in whatever way we can. And should you succeed(very likely) come back and show us pictures of the system running as it should!

BTW, welcome to TPU!
 
I have the Hyper 212 Black Edition. It’s easy to install, just have some patience when assembling, and fastening the heatsink to the board/CPU. Less finicky then the older Hyper 212.

Did you disengage the pin fastener opposite side of the broken pin? It should help the heatsink sit flat on the cpu. Requires a flat head screwdriver.
 
Yes

I've set a custom power plan, minimum 5% and max 90% better than 96°c on full power.

Yeah, 3 working pins mounting the cooler results in uneven pressure. Chances are, "insulating" air is getting between the mating surfaces.

Plenty of fans if you ask me
Click to expand...
It is not the number of fans that really matters, it is how they are oriented. They need to be working together to create a flow through the case. What are those bottom fans doing?

Typically, you go for front to back flow, or bottom to top (unless using a radiator). And you typically want a slight over or positive pressure (a little more coming in than being exhausted out) as that forces the air to come in through the [hopefully] filtered intake vents only. When you have under or negative pressure, unfiltered air is pulled in through every crack, crevice and port - you don't want that.

Heard... I'm honestly not sure what the bottom fans are doing lol dude had this before me.

I meant, are they pulling cool air in or exhausting air out?

Do you have any fans in front pulling cool air in?
 
Seeing as they're pointed at the gpu I guess they're keeping that cool. Idk what answer to give you man. And no fans at front doesn't look like I can connect any to the front

Have fun installing that Cooler. It is one of the biggest pain in the butt to install.
