If you'd have told me in high school that I'd be meeting random people in a Target parking lot and fixing their systems for free - all for the goal of making educational content on KZbin - I'd have laughed and bet everything against it. Your viewership is the backbone of Fix or Flop. Thanks so much for your continued support.

I'm glad it worked out this way. I'm currently working on my cable management and waiting for a fan hub before I tackle connecting everything and if my system doesn't post I'll know what to look for thanks to this series. I also noticed a bent capacitor (one of the plastic ones at the lower left hand corner. My board is almost like the one in this video) that I bent back in place but it was after I finally got my mobo seated and screwed in. I was told that shouldn't matter in the end unless it came loose in which case I'd either have to RMA (have a month to do so) or solder. Fingers crossed I have no issues come Monday or Tuesday.

On my very first build the video I was following for a step by step (I won't call them out) did not mention they were using an intel CPU. I had a Ryzen one. When my cover didn't automatically lift off the board when I lifted the retention clip, I went to go lift it manually. Ryzen does not have a CPU socket cover I found out. Luckily I was one of the few that Newegg allowed a return on without much issue.

I can tell you that they can. I was trying to fix a dozen of bent pins on the LGA1150. Three of them was bent so much, that they fall off while I was trying to unbend them. I think someone dropped a CPU onto them (and that's not the worst part) and then tried to fix it with his nails (that damaged it more). Now the only solution is to change the whole socket. But without proper tools it's impossible. And the board, while it's very nice (a SaberTooth z87) isn't worth the investment.

This series has been invaluable to me both in learning an order in which to troubleshoot and also in remembering NEVER to assume based on the symptoms. As such, I have managed to fix a major issue with one of my PCs and tidy up some niggling issues in the other one, all for only the cost of parts on one and a bit of my time. No outlay to repair stores. Thank you so much for this, especially for not editing out when you come to the wrong conclusion. I find seeing mistakes is as important as seeing solutions. Keep up the outstanding work!

great video yet again Greg! I've fixed in past few bent LGA pins and TBH it is risky and not easy job, you got to have a precise control of your hand to do this safely. I'm glad you were able to resolve this issue, and props for giving him this cooler definitely huge upgrade from the incompatible prior generation cooler. about no signal symptom without Q-Code display I would have check the error LEDs (if the board has them), and I would have tried using on board graphics checking ram and so until focusing on the CPU. but I think that if I've asked the right question I might got a hint about the issues with the socket. any way good job!

I recently fixed a Z97 with severely bent pins and it had the same symptoms as this if some pins weren't making contact. Occasionally some would, then I'd randomly get RAM beep codes. In the end, I finally got it. But you wouldn't believe how perfectly aligned the pins need to be sometimes. On LGA 1151 I've had a perfect socket where RAM wouldn't work just because one pin was slightly off (barely visible to the naked eye) before too. You did a great job fixing these pins and not giving up.

Outstanding fix on this one!! I have only a single time fixed a bent pin (and only a single pin) and had it work. Hats off for your effort... Had I saw that nearly a dozen pins were damaged, I would have simply hit the Amazon or Newegg site and got a new motherboard full stop. When you said it was a cooler off of a lower generation cpu, I wondered how that was even possible, with the different size cpu chip and all... So.... you showed me. It will physically bolt on, but covers only about 75% of the chip. Good call with changing that out.

Fantastic job. First of all I am a HUGE FERRARI fan, so seeing you in that shirt after a magnificent pole by Charles Le Clerc in Bahrain, is AWESOME! Secondly, as an industrial PCB designer myself (you might see some of my designs on VESTA wind turbine generators), I cannot understand why stock coolers get such a bad rep. OK, perhaps this is a smaller model for a less powerful CPU, but when we design fans, we make sure that the power rating is correct for the particular unit. Matching aluminium heatsink and correct fan type. Our designs work at 40Amperes... that is very high indeed. In reality, 100 degrees is nothing, These babies are designed in temperatures nearing Mount Doom. We 'soak' them in at 120-150 C, then reflow at 245-300 C... Whatever, love your channel, your style and presentation are top notch!

The stock Intel cooler from socket 1200 and earlier has a different height than it needs to have for socket 1700. Only use socket 1700 compatible coolers and mounting kits. It looks like the cooler crushed the CPU in the socket, and bent the pins in the process.

I had this problem with my old system. The only thing was i didn't place the cpu myself it was the seller who placed my cpu and my system worked "fine" for like 4 years only sleep mode didn't work at all and i cleaned is every year or so. Last time i cleaned my system it wouldn't post i didn't know why. So i got in to troubleshoot mode because i like to fix broken things. And everything i did no post... until i removed the cpu and saw bent pins in the mb. My thought process was if it breaks it breaks... so i got a potato knife and bent the pins back dropped my cpu back in powered on my pc and it worked better than before even sleep mode worked fine now. Now i have a new mb and cpu because it became old and sluggish with games. Love you're content and the help you offer for people!! Keep it up!!

Love the series, it's very useful to learn and see problems that don't happen everyday. Even if you fix computers all day long there are things that happen so scarcely you honestly start forgetting and need to refresh from time to time. Definitely the best playlist on the channel. TY for fixing the motherboard stand-offs, they were giving me a bit of anxiety for most of the video :), brought back bad memories of a boss I had that would attach any motherboard with just 2 screws to "save time" *shivers*. Also, if there was enough cable to do so, I would have taped the SSD to the back of the motherboard tray instead of the PSU, no big deal I just try to avoid anything near the PSU as much as possible.

Common beginner mistake bending pins. I did it once a long time ago and luckily salvaged it like you did here. I learned my lesson. Slow down and take care. The cpu should just float into the socket with no pressure and sit fully flush and squarepn it's own. I always double check it. The worst thing I ever did was try to force a cpu air cooler socket retaining clip into place using a screwdriver. I slipped and damaged some tracks on a brand new motherboard. It was toast. I was nearly in tears!

I had a weird issue myself this morning when trying to turn on my pc that's been rock solid for the last 3-4 months since my last install of a new AIO. It wouldn't post, it would only show a cursor on one of my 2 monitors and refuse to move any further from that. I tried to restart a few times, same issue, power cycled the PSU, same issue. After some headscratching I disconnected one of my external HDD's by unplugging the power to it and boom system up running again. I still have no idea why that would stop my system from posting, but glad I could figure it out that quickly anyway.

Greg, you asked what we would've done 1st. Well after pulling the video card I would've physically checked each connector & Intel CPU cooler push locks. I've seen to many of those tabs either in unlock or not fully seated to skip them. Now the question of if I would've pulled the cooler & CPU to check the pins...yes. If anything I would've wanted to see the thermal compound (if any is present too) & since it wasn't fixed yet I would've pulled the CPU & found the bent pins. IF those pins weren't bent I would've used a Graphite thermal pad to continue & than repasted the thermal paste after whatever the problem was was fixed. Good job of the pins!!!

In regards to process I would have started like you with the reseating ram and clearing bios, but I would have gone into unseating the PSU CPU connector and putting it onto a tester to ensure PSU was providing power to socket. I also would have been having a heart attack seeing that cooler on the CPU.

Wonder if it’s a refurbished board from Newegg. Also I have the ti version of that card with a i5-9400f and I’m still usually gpu bound at 1080p, man needs to upgrade that as soon as prices drop (assuming it’s used for gaming and not primarily video editing or something).

Another mystery solved! Great one man. Something definitely must have fell causing it to become unseated/bent.

Thoroughly enjoy your technical troubleshooting style and logic. Resisting the urge to swap cpu might have brought you to discover damaged pins sooner. Your experience lead you to correct hypothesis but you didn't want to jump the shark t o provide better diagnosing of issue throughout your thought processes. 🥇

In my short career as a technician, I came across 3 times motherboards with bent pins, once I was able to fix it, another time I was able to get it to boot, but the system was unstable (random BSOD) and once 2 pins were broken.. kudos Greg

I don't think you did okay, I think you did great. I love how you go through your thought process to help diagnose the issue. I don't have patience for that I just go and fix lol and that's why it's good to watch you and not me because I have no patience lol

Nicely done. Repairing pins is both tedious and nerve wracking. And thank you for replacing that cooler.

i remember when i bought my rig, i got my board 2nd hand and noticed 1 bent pin and sent a message to the seller, he wasnt too keen in taking back his board and refund me my money back, in the end i bent the pin back with the tiniest needle, happy to say that i was lucky that it posted. hope to see a gpu price update video from you since we're seeing more recent drops in prices.

I hope I never have to deal with bent pins, looks like a tedious task and one I'm not so sure I could've pulled off. Awesome job Greg. I always feel so good for the folks when they get their PC's back in working order. Love the series.

Well done Greg, for troubleshooting you could’ve used a small attached speaker for the bios codes, it would’ve probably helped a bit.

Probably by chance your t-shirt is appropriate since LeClerc just qualified as no. 1 in Bahrain's F1 race (first of the season). For info your american team Haas Racing with Kevin Magnussen back qualified no 7. Ohhh and great video :)

Great job on straightening those pins. Not an easy task, and you certainly need a steady hand. I was thinking that a screwdriver-like tool with a thin head and a hole drilled in the middle would make that job go quicker.
