Who's had a screw-up while trying to install a new processor before here?

Who's had a screw-up while trying to install a new processor before here?

I just bought intel

I apparently tightened the cooler a bit too much when building my new machine a couple of months back and two of the RAM slots refused to work as a result. A few turns the other way on both screws fixed it.

I bent the motherboard socket pins when installing cpu, don't know exactly how that happened. Tried straightening them with tweezers but broke them off. fugg

>his cooler still uses screws

what is this, the 90s?

Its almost like some people never learned to be careful.

Do they just drop it in shout YOLO and shove hard on the processor locking mechanism?

same m90, except I didn't attempt to straighten them. I just claimed warranty on them. I'm the reason my local store now slips in papers stating they don't accept M/Bs with bent pins.

That's literally how I did it my first time because a friend told me "be careful, but at the same time they're quite durable and can take a bit of a fall".

I got the wrong processor for my motherboard on my very first build.

Now I'm more careful though

one time I was on a lot of xanax and pulled an entire cpu off with the heatsink.

fortunately, it wasn't my computer.

lmao
