You could even get a stock intel heatsink from ebay for next to nothing instead of an aftermarket one.

That sounds good. What I don't really understand, is why do I need to toss liquid cooled fan? It doesn't seem to be damaged, the only fan to cool the radiator has to be replaced in my opinion. Or is it because, the damage could be hidden and down the road it could leak the substance allover the mobo?

And if I would like to get a stock intel heatsink, is there aspecific size I need or socket type?

Thank you man
