I would have never imagined someone sending an motherboard chunk before your video. Some of my favorite listings are motherboards that include closeups of CPUs and then the sellers do not respond to messages or they take a really long time before telling you they are not.

[@ElijahsLab]

Quite an effective way to protect the cpu!

[@SAMarcus]

@@ElijahsLab It was probably from a board that was otherwise already broken, like one that was shipped in some of that other lovely packaging you got, but really bent.

[@pvpsushi]

So some background on the PG (Power Good) signal. It is the amount of time that the power supply takes to do internal checks and become fully ready and stabilised. This should take between 100 ms and 500 ms. If the PG signal takes less than 100 ms or more than 500 ms, it is considered abnormal but with newer technologies this tends to less than 100ms now. Your power supplies should be fine as long as it doesnt show really low PG ms

[@APARAT79]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="680">11:20</a> Damn... that's by far the best way to ship Ryzen CPU. Having the CPU seated in the socket, will make sure that pins won't be bent. That guy is a genious.

If you have a broken AM4 OEM MB, this is about all it is good for. They may have salvaged some components off the board or something and were left with a paperweight. This kind of resourcefulness is impressive and it was the people who just threw a bare CPU in the package that had me cracking up.

[@Kayshots]

CPU's can actually work while missing a few pins, never give up on a CPU if you snap off a pin. Many pins are ground or provide power and missing a few of them won't impact the cpu.

[@TheARguy15]

The way people ship things off ebay is wild. I've seen this also..on a side note, you can use a credit card to straighten the pins on those cpu's. dont slip with tweezers, nightmares can happen with a slip up. good vid bro

[@muki_x]

I’ve tried like 4 different credit cards, both metal and plastic and they are all too thick, honestly best method in my opinion is (empty) mechanical pencil.

[@KryptonicHD]

The way I like straighten pins, is by using the back of the blade on a knife and running it through the lanes and carefully bending the ones that need bending back. Basically if the knife blade run clear through it, no more bent pins! It has worked great and my go to after I took a pin off using teasers too ;)

[@aetrna12]

[@Roobotics]

for the PG reading = 100mS to 500 mS is the ATX 'standard' it's just a timer for how long it takes the rails to all come up 'good', it can be below this and be just fine, though if it's abnormally low (0mS to 50mS) it's possible there is a fault in how it sequences, else slightly less than the standard is pretty much fine. But longer than standard may cause some hardware to hang as it means the rails are ramping up slower than specified. You tend to get conditions like 'brown-outs' as something downstream thinks it's fine to pull power, then it makes a partially-up rail collapse, and things fault.

[@TheGameBench]

Unfortunately, a low "power good" number typically indicates a power supply that's on it's way out. I wouldn't use either of them.

[@felkmane]

As someone who has done a lot of selling on eBay, only putting 'has bent pins' in small print in the description is 100% against eBay policy. If the seller tried to fight you on it, eBay would step in and force a resolution

[@Adam-Mei]

I am pretty sure PG = Power Good and it showed it was good in 70 milliseconds instead of the normal 100 to 500 milliseconds so that can be a sign of better quality.

If it flashes it means it's below the normal range

[@b0ne91]

If you buy a cheap B350 or B450 for it, you can buy an old Athlon 64 X2 for $1, break off some pins with a razor blade and put them in the socket where your Ryzen is missing them. I've had this work several times - one time they even got attached to the CPU after taking it out of the socket. You need to test for stability, especially RAM channels, if you're not replacing the pins OR confirm with the pin diagram that they are only ground. Obviously disclose this to the seller. If they ever wanted to replace the CPU, they'd need ta magnet and tiny tweezer to get the pins out of the board again most likely.

[@docrx1857]

I have done the same thing with USB header that was missing the data carrier pin. Was able to salvage a pin from a broken motherboard and put it into the USB female connector with a little sticking out to make contact. It worked.

[@Adam-Mei]

You can also snip aluminum bobby pins the right length and that works 99.99% of the time. The only time it didn't work, was on an old Athlon CPU in the early to mid 00's.

[@lloydc5736]

Used to flip PC's, and do custom PC builds in the 90's, rounding out over two hundred units sold, before I settled into new job, bought a lot of stuff from eBay, to cut costs on PC's I flipped , bought hundred of items, was lucky as only had two issues, one a CPU with bent pins, and a non functioning dead GPU, for me it wasn't much difference between buying new Vs used parts, as quality control with new parts can pose problems, nice video, and like others wondering how you you know how old ladies smell, wait on second thought rather not know 😄

[@Lurch-Bot]

QC sucks right now. I'd rather buy used. A used component that has been used for a couple of years just had a thorough QC test in my mind. Before COVID, I had only had one DOA new component in 25 years. I've had several DOA new components since COVID. Have also had several RMAs since COVID and had one in the preceding 25 years. If it weren't for the fact Amazon has some good deals and easy returns, I probably would only buy used at this point. New is a hell of a premium for a big question mark, whereas, if a reputable eBay seller says it is working, there's a 99.999999999% chance it does. Been having a good laugh at all the 4090 and 14900KS failures. I would say that all those posers got exactly what they deserved.

Check the pin layout and see if the pins broken are just ground. If they are, then you should be good as long as there is at least on pin left that has ground.

If they didn't mark the listing 'for parts or repair', then you are covered by the guarantee, regardless of any fine print in the description. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="449">7:29</a> OMG, how hard is it to tape a piece of cardboard over the socket? Also, it is very difficult to spot bent pins in a LGA MB with the naked eye. You should really support the bottom of the MB when seating RAM. One of these days, you'll crack a solder joint and break the board doing it like that. Just because you see a million people doing it on YT doesn't make it OK. Electronics are delicate. Treat them accordingly. A blunt tip syringe fill needle works the best for straightening CPU pins. You can't call a GPU good just because it gives a picture in BIOS. Requires extensive benchmark and stress testing and I guarantee all the GPUs you bought need new thermal paste and possibly new pads too if they've been mined on. I bet that 3070 was used for mining. I wouldn't say you overpaid or anything but you hardly got any spectacular deals. The 1080 for $80 was a decent score but you also have to remember that a PC with a 1080 is probably worth about $400-450. And that's if you can even sell it. The market is slumping pretty hard right now. It is tough to sell a PC with only 16GB RAM or a GPU that doesn't support DX12U. Most people willing to pay anything more than $500 will expect 32GB RAM, 12GB VRAM and at least a TB of storage. Maybe you have some sort of local market bubble but I wouldn't want to be sitting on all these components right now. You still don't know if the GPUs you bought are fully functional and same goes for all the CPUs, especially the one missing two pins. Yeah, they might not do anything. But it is more likely they do and you will experience reduced performance or even an unstable system. System stability testing takes a lot more than 5 minutes. In fact, it could load into BIOS but be nothing but BSODs in Windows. I recently fixed bent socket pins on a Haswell MB and it took multiple passes. At one point, I thought I had it but as soon as Windows started loading, it crashed, because one of the pins still wasn't making contact. Eventually I got it. But you're not gonna be able to put those pins back on the CPU. I'd say you were more optimistic than you had any reason to be throughout this entire video.

The 3800X CPU with the missing pins, you might lose a memory channel or some instruction sets or it might be missing pci-e lanes, but yeah some of the pins are nc aka not connected, and clearly the basics are working ie fsb, multi and voltage otherwise it wouldnt post at all. its possible to solder the pins back on but having seen people struggle and fumble and fail in the attempt on youtube its not worth the hassle. Clearly that chunk of motherboard was a dead or scrap board good way to keep the pins safe and it came in handy to test fit after straighting pins on some of the other cpu's you bought. From what i read pg 70ms is ok, 0 is deffinately a fail so i would hazard a geuss that below 50ms is bad. Qoute from Corsair "PG Values are usually considered normal if it falls within the range of 100ms - 500ms, but can be lower than 100ms at times. 0ms PG values would be considered a failing PSU" AM4 CPU stuck to heatsink cooler thats nothing new, ive come to the conclusion that the pins have become so fine that the socket clip mechanism cant hold em against sticky or dried thermal compound on the heatsink which is probably one of the reasons they changed to LGA on AM5 other than the sheer quantity of pins on the AM5 socket.
