Help with my new CPU
« on: September 06, 2011, 02:23:50 PM »
Hey guys. I just bought a new CPU for my rig but I dropped it on my floor when I was installing it.  :dizzy: Any idea if it's fixable? It doesn't seem too bad minus the fuzz. Thanks

Haha, You got lucky... Almost moved this to support.... But I am thinking Jokes and Fun would be more appropriate, but then you wouldn't get the same draw or reaction...

Just run a magnet over it to straighten the pins out.

Reminds me of the time way back when, I was replacing an AMD cpu for a friend.  Pulled off the heatsink to see an empty socket.  WTF.  Looked at the bottom of the heatsink and it was still stuck on there.  Just as i went to get it off the damn CPU fell back into the case pins down.  Bent about 40 or so pins.  So pissed.
