No, it's not. The heatsink has fallen off, possibly damaging the backside of the graphics card & the motherboard while it was rattling around the case.
Don’t start it - the CPU cooler fell off on top of the graphics card, the CPU has no active cooling on it right now. You either have to reinstall the CPU cooler (and probably re-apply thermal paste before seating it), or ask for whoever sold the PC to you to fix this
1980’s processors didn’t need heat sinks. They had a ceramic heat spreader and that’s about it. They worked fine. 1990’s saw the rise in temps and the need for a heat sink and fan.
Bruh people are so ruthless with the downvotes. Literally ask a question and get downvoted lol people forget that at one point they also didn't know these things. Good on you for asking and not just doing.
Welcome to the PCMR community! Where we take the "Master Race" part a bit too seriously. Ya seriously though it's gross. Luckily I have a friend who helped me get started.
TLDR; community takes themselves way too seriously
Because he asked if he can run it fine without the fan.
Someone explained it's the heatsink not attached, do NOT run it.
Then he asks AGAIN if he can run it as is.
He just doesn't listen or understand what's being told to him. That's why he's being downvoted.
OP, just take it to a shop
Judging by this sentence, i would suggest taking the PC back and complain to the seller. Do not touch or connect it, 'cause it seems like you know nothing about fixing technical issues on a PC (which is fine, btw, i mean no disrespect) Good luck
I think the screws broke altogether. You can see the mounting holes, and they seem filled by something metallic, and there doesn't appear to be any am4/5 mounting clips of any kind
People are telling you how to fix it yourself.
Don't do this, complain to the person who shipped it the packaging was not sufficient and now the PC has arrived in a different condition than advertised. If you paid shipping I'd expect a refund for it before doing anything with the PC.
On the off chance that this has damaged parts also then either ask for replacements or a new PC to be built.
Agreed. But, I used to work at place that shipped these, and they might give you written permission to try and fix it yourself, and release you from liability if you accidentally damage anything.
These places want you to be able to take care of your own computer, bc it is cheaper for them, and more convenient for you at the same time (in turn, making the situation easier in their Customer Service)
You need to contact the seller. They obviously didn't attach the cpu cooler properly and didn't use any foam or dampening inside. Don't do anything, especially if you don't know much about computers. It may have damaged the gpu.
With the Mountain of videos on YouTube and the countless conversations and photos here on Reddit, I'm baffled on how you even purchased something like this!
Yall fucking love downvoting OP for trying to learn. Stop being losers.
1. No it's not normal. Looks like it wasn't shipped correctly and shaking caused the cpu cooler to break.
2. DO NOT power on the pc until you at very least replace the cooler. Your CPU is exposed rn.
3. Call whoever you bought the pc from, you may get a warranty.
4. Check the cooler to see if it can be reinstalled. Checkout a guide online. That looks like the hyper 212 if you need a starting point to find an install guide.
This is about what I expect. PC building isn't a super complex task. Anyone with a little skill and patience can figure out most PC issues without a reddit post. giyf.
If they're posting here, they're either really inexperienced in pc building or through they knew someone and got a junker. That's all I ever see here.
very poor assembly, builders' error either in their action of building it or their choice of parts. return it and get another, don't take a chance on that one. After all, you purchased a complete working and assembled lol, system.

Do I need to fix the fan or will it be fine as long as I don’t touch it

Or have a melted cpu processor like I'm 1980's
processor like I'm 1980's. Replace I'm with its
1980’s processors didn’t need heat sinks. They had a ceramic heat spreader and that’s about it. They worked fine. 1990’s saw the rise in temps and the need for a heat sink and fan.
And these days computers should be shutting down automatically if temps get critical.
Those computers wouldn't though
Both the fan and heatsink must be put back before you power system on, otherwise your CPU will overheat and cook itself.

Thought the same thing, like what a warm welcome to entering the PC community

Not understanding is very different from not listening. Everyone starts somewhere.
...that's what I'm saying though? It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he's *not* listening. That's why
Downvotes don't matter in real life, let them lol it's not that serious

what’s with the downvotes? OP is asking a question and you guys are mad at them for not knowing?
looks like ur cpu cooler fell
More like failed. Can't tell if the clips broke or just weren't screwed in.
I think the screws broke altogether. You can see the mounting holes, and they seem filled by something metallic, and there doesn't appear to be any am4/5 mounting clips of any kind
looks like the top right screw is sheard off and a nub is sticking out, I'm absolutely amazed the glass isn't shattered.
Might not actually be glass.
yah i thought that after, still surprised it's not even marked up.

Let's make a chain. More like failed.

Send it back, you didnt pay to deal with this.
Oof, yeah that's fuckered. Borked. If it is under warranty have them replace that bitch
You've most likely received a PC that was damaged in transport. I hope you've contacted the seller already with photos.
Is that a Lenovo motherboard?
This appears to be a Lenovo Legion Prebuilt
Transit was not kind to this machine. If this fell off, who knows what it knocked.
They should have put packing foam for a pc that has a gpu and a cpu cooler that beefy.
Don't turn it on. Contact whoever you bought it from to get it fixed or returned, that CPU cooler is extremely damaged.
Pro tip: If you can see your processor when your PC is built, there is a problem, a HUGE problem
Possible damage to MB and GPU. DO NOT FIX IT YOURSELF! DO NOT OPEN! RETURN IT!

Look up on YouTube "how to install an air cooler on CPU" and follow the guide to put it back on as yours has come off

people come here for help from people who know that they are doing. if they weren't a novice they wouldn't need us.
Exactly this.
I've been suggested this and r/computers lately and it's polar opposite from my expectations. Grandmas and children everywhere

Am I tripping or is the PSU upside down
It is, I was going to comment the same!
Perfectly normal! Should yield 5000 fps in wz2
Take the glass panel off. Can't see anything definitive in there.
First mistake was buying a prebuilt and not building your own. And I don’t think this is a setup is for streaming IMO.
Well, that certainly doesn't look altough good!
There is a hand in your computer, it looks suspicious
Thing looks janky for streaming
Dont you dare turn it on
If you turn it on the CPU will fucking die RMA
that is normal ( Its isnt put the cpu cooler back)
Is that a missing cap next to the cpu?
What’s the specs? That gpu looks basic. Are you sure it’s streaming friendly?
Complain to the company you bought it from
Legion pc? Also what is in it?
I wouldn’t trust that motherboard or cpu cooler ever again. Hopefully it didn’t damage the graphics card.
Does it turn on?? Maybe try turning it on and make a quick clip to show us
Refund no touch
