They do this to help protect the pins so that people are less likely to bend the pins. This meant that any processor would fit into any motherboard. LGA compresses each pin into place vertically, so you can pack the pins denser, which means you get more pins per socket. Because if you damage the motherboard instead of the CPU which is less likely by itself , it is cheaper to replace the motherboard instead of the CPU. The other popular alternative is a ball grid array BGA , which is widely used today, primarily in mobile devices.
It really depends. AMDs warranty only covers manufacturing defects. Broken pins are either a shipping issue poor packaging or sloppy handling or user caused, non of which are covered by warranty. The pins are designed to be stiff, which means the metal they are made from will quickly develop metal fatigue when bent, and that will cause the pin to break.
The pin has already been bent once, so straighten it slowly and carefully. The mechanically weaker CPU, its pins, and the motherboard contacts can all be bent and sheared by the pressure exerted by cooler clamping mechanisms.
You will want a mechanical pencil with a. These sizes should fit comfortably around a CPU pin. Remove any pencil lead from the pencil. You need the opening to be free of obstructions. Place the empty tip of the pencil over the pin. Carefully maneuver the tip to bend the pin back into place. You can use the angle of the pencil as a guide to track how straight the pin is.
Method 3. Get a properly sized needle. If the needle does not fit between two pins comfortably then it is too large. The advantage of a needle is its thin size, which allows you to unbend pins that other tools cannot get under. A toothpick or small tweezers are similar options that can work. Slide the needle underneath the bent pin. Take care not to scratch the surface of the CPU.
Pull the needle up at one end. This will leverage the bent pin back to a straighter position. Assess the situation for how to move forward. If the pin seems reasonably straight, you can attempt to remount the CPU. If the pin still needs straightening, try the credit card or mechanical pencil now that you can get underneath it. You can also continue to manipulate the pins with needle to try to get them straighter. Always be careful when re-bending the pins a lot, as there is the risk of breakage.
Luigi Oppido. It's very difficult to to do it with the naked eye. I've personally never been able to figure out if I've actually done it correctly without a magnifying glass. You've really got to have a careful eye and a steady hand to pull this off. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. No, you need to use electrical tweezers with nonstatic protection. They've also got to be exceptionally small. It's just really hard to do it with standard tweezers.
Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1. The metal they use to produce CPUs is just super flexible. Touching the pins the wrong way can bend them really easily. How to fix broken off pins? When I removed the CPU 5 pins broke off in the socket. In order to keep entire rows straight, I prefer using long trapezoidal razor blades to span entire rows. The thickness of these box cutter replacement blades seem to match the distance between pin rows on a CPU, allowing you to move entire rows minute amounts.
But go slow, and real easy. You may now proceed giving yourself a headache by sourcing and installing your other parts! Especially when the alternative is giving up on a processor with a tiny defect and heading back to the PC parts market once more, hat in hand. Guthrie - April 27 Reply. Oh wow! Thanks for passing on some hard learned lessons! I just orders a new CPU. It's bent on the CPU not the mobo.
Could this cause he pc not to turn on or "post" as it's hard to tell if it is turning on without fans moving? So I was correct and this is why the pc won't turn on and fans won't spin etc Correct? Just wanna make sure I understand correctly. You must log in or register to reply here.
