heat and fan

[oyad]

what happens if i decide not to change a spoilt fan to my processor (am changing it i just want to know the effect of heat on the processor)

[Lightning]

There might happen nothing (PC still works fine) but a one moment the processor will say bye bye, it is to hot I die.

The pc would freeze regulary or the chip would stop working permanently possibly damaging the motherboard at the same time.

It would depend on the chip.

If it's a good Intel chip then just a heatsink might make it run suitably... although the excess heat would cause stress, making the CPU's life shorter.

Also, a slower chip needs no where near the thermal conductivity of a good heatsink to function properly.

too bad so guess i have to fix that immediately.
thanks for your response.
