Its an old k7 processor i think + it has a heatsink thingy. oOo:
I'd replace it a.s.a.p

If you hit it with enough force to knock a fin off the fan oOo: then you've probably damaged the fan enough for it to SELF DESTRUCT, SENDING SHRAPNEL FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE POSSIBLY EVEN INTO YOUR SCROTAL SACK.
