There is also a ghetto workaround for broken pins. In my previous PC I had an FX-8350 and once while installing it into the socket I sneezed and smashed the CPU really hard. I broke off about 10 pins and bent a lot of them. I straightened them, but the CPU didn't post. So I found matching "''holes' in the socket and inserted short pieces of copper wire into these holes, so that they would replace broken pins. The CPU worked absolutely fine. Actually my brother has this PC now, and the CPU has been working like this under heavy overclock (5 GHZ) for 3 years or more and still keeps chugging along. So, you can try this method if you are desperate.
@HappyBeezerStudios6 жыл бұрын

I would not do this modification under any circumstances for fear of the Socket catching fire if it shorts due to bad contact between the CPU and the various sized pieces of copper you have put into the Socket. It's totally different than just straightening the standard pins. If you broke off that many pins you should just concede a dead CPU and certainly not give said PC to anyone else.

A mechanical pencil is actually great for this sort of thing as well. Thread the pin into the tip, bend it back carefully.
@mcnamaraky6 жыл бұрын
Thats a really solid idea. I'm assuming you'd have to match the size of the pencil as closely as possible? Wouldn't work for LGA since the tops of the pins are angled (I commented on another comment here about how I had to fix some LGA pins once and I did it in a similar way as Jay did here using a tiny screwdriver instead of a razor), but this is a really solid idea I'll remember in the future if I ever have an issue with on chip pins. In my mind its easier to bend LGA pins than it is with on chip pins, as most people (myself included) hold CPUs with on chip pins in the most careful way possible. But once you take that socket cover off anything could happen, a dropped screw, your build station gets bumped as you're about to put the CPU in and something gets bumped, or even the socket cover itself bending a few when you take it off (not even talking about from factory issues). Again though this is a really solid idea I'd use in conjuncture with the razor blade method shown here. Use the razor to line them up as best I could and then use the mechanical pencil to straighten out the ones that are really bad and need a bit more shifting before you can put it in the socket to straighten them back out 100%.

Just an FYI if you do break off a pin you can find where it goes in the socket and drop it in it's spot then drop the CPU on top and it will still work. Linus did that with a Phenom II 720 in an old NCIX video and I did it with an old Phenom II 550, with 3 missing pins, which still unlocked to a quad core after all it had been through I might add. You can even use a piece of copper wire if you don't have the pins available which is what I did as I bought my CPU with the pins already broken and lost.

Board? Meaning pins are in an LGA socket? Then yes, don't be sticking wires in an LGA socket. And if you're doing the copper wire method in a PGA socket make sure you're wire isn't too long that it bends over and touches an adjacent pin. When you bend that arm over the CPU does move a tiny bit.
@cmac35306 жыл бұрын
kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5WnlJapl9tonqM This video says otherwise. Although I can't guarantee it will work if it's a pin that supplies power or ground. But data pins work just fine.
@Pantiesonheadretarded6 жыл бұрын
This is less reliable than baking a dead graphics card. It might work if you get lucky, but it comes down to whether the pin that broke off still manages to make contact with its appropriate spot on the CPU, and only its appropriate spot. Both the broken off pin and the stub that's left on the CPU need to be straight, which might be harder to accomplish than it was before it broke off. If you cut a piece of copper wire too long, causing it to bend and reach over to another pin, you risk wrecking both your motherboard and CPU. Again it might work, but only as a last resort. If you have access to a soldering iron or know someone who can use one you're better off soldering the new "pin" onto the CPU rather than simply dropping it in the socket.

@Xaqaria6 жыл бұрын
John Totten I've personally used the mechanical pencil method in the past, though the pin density of a Pentium 120 is very different from a Ryzen CPU. You need one with a narrow hosel (where the lead comes out) and collar (piece the hosel protrudes from) so as to not interfere with the other pins.

No stress test ? I thought you would have to check stability.
@nottheengineer49576 жыл бұрын
Repth Stress tests will not change anything. It might have been a power delivery pin that the CPU didnt necessarily need and hamper stability a tiny bit, but there is nothing noticable. With AMDs plan of supporting Zen+ and Zen2 on the same socket, there should be a lot of dummy pins and those are ideally placed around the corners/edges for obvious reasons.

Thank you so much for making this video, you totally saved my ass. I was swapping out coolers for my 2700x and the thermal paste applied to the bottom of my wraith prism formed an air tight seal that glued my CPU to the heatsink. When I pulled the heatsink out it tore out my CPU alongside it, bending several pins. Sat there for a few moments trying to find a way to mentally cope with losing $300. Shortly after I made my way to your video here. Seeing you go ham on that CPU filled me with courage because the damage to mine wasn't nearly as bad as the damage you did. Fast forward an hour later and thanks to your instructions I fixed it myself and my machine is 100% fine. Seriously, thank you so much.

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I felt like an idiot because I have built countless computers and I was doing this one for a friend. I noticed the bent pins and fixed it with a knife. I have never heard of bent cpu pins so I was thinking of making a tutorial on how to fix it. Not only was this video already made, but apparently bent cpu pins is a frequent problem with first time builders with amd.
@RackJacked5 жыл бұрын
@@Zoltoks I know that exact pain. I decided to upgrade my rig and donate my old parts to my younger brother and I didn't want to call him up and tell him that the deal was off due to an error on my end. I've been doing builds for friends/family for years without any goofs and I like being that guy people can confidently trust to handle and repair their expensive hardware without error. I've never had something break on me like this before and it makes me feel even better about myself knowing that I can repair this kind of damage now. Glad to know that you were able to help yourself as well.

Some of the AIOs when you remove them in a specific way, will rip the CPU out of the socket and bend some of the pins. This video is very helpful and helped me fix a CPU then got ripped down and correctly. Make sure when you remove the cooler or AIO that you twist it so that when it comes time to remove the CPU cooler the thermal paste that binds the two objects will allow some air to get between the gap and not have a suction effect pain will allow them to be removed easier

Know I'm late but I bought my wife a Ryzen 5 3600 off eBay used a year or so ago. It was missing a pin entirely because of what he said about the packaging not being done correctly. The system would not boot because of that missing pin. Thankfully it was still in the packaging. I just figured out where the pin would go in relation to the CPU and the motherboard socket. I dropped it into the CPU socket on the motherboard in the right pin connector hole and voila, perfectly running Ryzen system.

When I opened the box 5 were bent badly. Of course after sending a picture to the seller they denied responsibility and said it left in perfect condition. To add irony it was the only second hand part I actually bought for my build. Anyway I digress..... Following your instructions I managed to straighten all the pins and all worked out fine.
