How do you fix this?

how do you fix this?

Get a pen cylinder (the plastic used for the ink) and use it to bend the pins back into place.

If it's pre ryzen just throw it in the trash.

straighten that shit out with a fucking butter knife asshole

mechanical pencil and a steady hand

Couldn't find the butter knife's asshole. Should I worry?

I never understood this because you would need a really thick lead for it to fit.

Just take a cheap business card and kneed them back
>Business card is too rigid and prone to exerting
>Anything metal is a death wish
>Once you figure they're back in place, very gently put it back in its socket and let align the rest

knife, razor blade, credit card
I don't give a shit how you do it but FUCKING FIX IT

I used a knife. still running fine 8 years later

...

Thanks for sending my sides into space

/thread

by buying Intel

>>>/Reddit/ that way mate

>how do you fix this?
Go back in time to 9 months before your birth and convince your mom not to drink during her pregnancy.

I just used my fingers, no knife or credit card pussy shit

EDIT: Thanks for the gold!

Sending you to Reddit now

...

very carefully

Unsetled the fuck out of me, don't know why?

Thanks for the upboat kind stranger ;D

trypophobia

Came here to say exactly this.

bought a ryzen 1700x and it came with 2 bent pins on the corner
managed to bent them straight and it works

>ryzen still have pins
KEK!

>he has a female CPU

Heh.

First off, its time to upgrade from socket a.

And it pretty fucking easy, just use a thin blade of some sort and straighten them one by one.

Funny thing is, if you bend even just one or two of the mobo pins, there's a good chance you're a mobo short. Good luck finding a new one, no matter which you bought its 3 generations old when this happens. Or brand new, warranty won't cover it nonetheless :)

Yes, thank god. They may be made by streetshitters, but atleast they're not jews.

>inb4 50 Isaac's "How retarded are you to bend a socket pin???? Are you a mongoloid??"

le upboat

I think the idiots who go on about pins genuinely don't realise that the pins are on the motherboard with LGA. They think the two are connected by magic or something.

Bending pins back on a CPU is pretty easy. They're large and strong. I dropped a 1090T once and bent a bunch of pins in one corner. Spent ten minutes bending them back with the tip of a knife and it was good as new.

Trying to bend the fragile, tiny, curved pins in an LGA socket back is the road to madness.

Yea I know.

I have yet to be convinced lga is anything other than jewing by intel. They make the chipsets aswell, you know..

I can't even tell you how many cpu's I've fixed over the years for others and myself.
A friend of mine came to visit me cross country one time, he'd forgot remove the big ass cpu cooler before he left. It had been thrown around the case and had probably 30 bent pins in all fucking directions. got em all straight.

As a matter of fact, I've never failed to fix a cpu.

And I've had about 5 lga boards with bent pins (either from previous owner not installing shield before shipping or myself dripping that slippery ass cpu 1 cm and bening a couple pins) I managed to fix 1 (ONE) of the boards. Actually two, but the pin I fixed broke off next cpu change due to metal fatigue. So 4 out of 5 died.

Isn't it funny the laptop sockets still have pins on the cpu? Because people don't replace cpu's there most of the time, so no money to be made from people fucking up the mobo. But I guess they'll jew that up soon too.

Look at all the newfags.

EDIT: Can't believe my most upvoted post on reddit is about a butter knife's butthole. Thanks reddit!

What the fuck happened to this place niBBa?

Ah yes, Sup Forums's message board.

I use a mounted magnifying glass and a flat head eyeglasses screw driver to bend the pins back into their proper alignment.

use a knife, and carefully bend them back.

you will be fine

I used to work for a company that shipped AMD PCs back in the day. Probably 1-3% of machines arrived to the customer with no POST because the AMD pin-based CPU lock-down mechanism combined with the spring-clip style heatsink retention would cause CPUs to pop out during shipping and either bend pins or not reseat correctly.

It's never been an issue with Intel LGA CPUs. Intel's retention mechanism is better.

Using anti-semitic language really doesn't help your credibility either.

On that part I'll agree with you, the lock on the pin cpus was shit compared to lga.

A lot of mech pencils have a small extending metal cylinder that sheathes the graphite. Ive used that to straighten pins.

>amd pajeets defending pins on their CPOOS
>while CPUs are far more expensive than a shitty mobo

and cpu pins are FAR more likely to be fixable than the fucking mobo pins.

BAZINGA HAHAHA

...

happened to me once and i just used tweezers

>Intel users are so dumb that they have to live in constant fear of breaking their hardware

And how the fuck you are supposed to even bend mobo pins? You don't handle a mobo everywhere like you handle a CPU. If you ever bent a mobo pin you were doing something very wrong.

Now that's some damage control

>cpu slipping out of fingers when taking it out/putting it in
>a wire or plug gracing a pin
>a screw dropped in the socket
>taking out the socket protection
>handling without the socket protection for shipping (this is the biggest one when buying used)
>a finger gracing pin in the wrong direction (for example when removing some shit thats fell into the socket like dust or dried thermal paste)

I'm sure there is many more ways to fuck it up, the point is it happens. And of course you're doing something very wrong, just like when you bend cpu pins.

The difference is cpu pins are fucking easy to straighten out, lga pins are not..

OY VEY! DELET!!!!

You have to be a complete sperg to bend any pins, no matter if they are on the CPU or in the socket.
