Bent pins

After removing my CPU from my 1151 motherboard, I noticed 2-3 slightly bent pins. I dont know how they got there either as I lifted the CPU straight up and didn’t touch anything. I’m hoping they were there before I took it out and won’t cause a problem. Does anybody know what these pins do? I...

Hey guys I got an Asus rog strix b650e-e motherboard for a great discount I didn't want to pass on, I'm yet to receive my 7800x3d. When I took a look at the pins some of them seems to be somewhat misaligned, this is my first time working with this socket, can you tell of it's fine or not...

Yes, I bought a used motherboard from Amazon. Or rather, a returned one. It could have been returned because it was faulty, because the previous recipient damaged it, because they got shipped the wrong item, because they changed their mind, because they didn't like it, etc. But either it...

It appears I've damaged some pins when I reseated my CPU here after having some issues with it, though it's almost negligent and I'm having none issues thus far, besides audio crackling (?) for some reason... After the initial reseating the PC did boot, it took a while and it was stuck on the...

Afternoon, I have a ASUS ROG Strix Z270e mobo in my old PC which I have given to my son after a new purchase. For reason unknown to me he has decided to remove the front panel 20 pin connector from the mobo as it was in the way of him installing a new SSD. He tried to re-plug it in and has...

As the title states, can bent CPU Pins (even though if it's only bent slightly) affect a processor's frequency? Obviously if it is severely bent then worse case scenario surely would be that the PC would not post. But what if the pins are only slight bent (Since in some scenarios, CPU's can...

Initial problem was temps of 90c+ while gaming (98-100c in borderlands 3). I did a 100% cleaning of all fans, no effect. I repasted the cpu, no effect. I reseated the cpu, no effect. My AIO h110i water cooler was working fine according to multiple temp and fan control programs. I admit, I have...

It started on changing the cpu, before I start changing the cpu, everything seems to fine and working, Then I accidentally fell the cpu into the socket pins, so the pin is pushed down, I managed to fix it, but all i see is the fan running without lights, sounds and display, then I switched it...

I have a problem with instability on a system running an LGA 1150 socket CPU. I carefully removed the CPU to make an inspection and noticed (with strong magnifier) that the pins in the socket were all bent flat. It seems that they are flattened in a controlled way, but that is way to small to...

Hi guys, I have bent pins on my motherboard. I have seen the fixes for it on here. However, is there a way of testing the fix without putting the system back together? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm building my first computer ever and I have some bent pins on my motherboard (put the wrong cpu in, then the plastic cover fell in there). I think I fixed most of them to align but they still look weird in the light. Should I risk putting my new cpu in there, or get a new board? Thanks...

Hi. I'm giving my older pc to my nephew and before that i want to replace thermal paste on cpu and gpu as it's at least 2-3 years old. socket 1155, 3570k, ASRock Z77 Pro4. Here are my dilemas: 2-3 years ago I managed to bend pins(1 or 2) on the mobo then it didnt post and as 1155 socket was...

Wen I was installing the Ryzen 7 1800x cpu of my new build, I noticed that 2 or 3 pins at the corner were slightly inclined inwards. Though the cpu got into the socket with a soft push and the pc is working flawlessly, I am worried if this would cause any issue or shorten the life of the pc. As...

Hello folks! While i was reseating my cpu for cleaning my mobo from dust i've noticed that it has some bent pins but my pc working fine (dual channel ram + pci e working full speed) so my question is what else this bent pins can make something not working properly other than i mentioned here...

I bought a Pre-built pc about one year ago and it's working great but a little behind on graphics power. So, i bought a gtx 750 ti and it's amazing for it's price range. I don't have any problems so far but a friend told me that my power supply is not a very good one. As i dont know much about...

I just bought a cheap Xeon e5640, but i don't have a board for it. I have some DDR3 Kingston HyperX (2x4 GB 1600MHz) to reuse with it, and i don't know which board to buy. Any recommendations? I wanted to buy a Gigabyte X58 UD3R but giving 150$ for a mobo is just not worth for me, so a cheaper...

Hey guys, maybe you can help me. I need a Router with the capability to whitelist a few websites, but also allow access to both mobile (and windows) appstores, as well as setting a PC as an Admin to allow unrestricted access. I've had a look around, but couldn't find anything. Networks aren't...

Hi everyone, Past couple of weeks my machine has been acting strange. When I turn the power on, the motherboard green light doesn't come on straight away anymore. After about 15 seconds it comes on and goes off, and after about a minute it will show a solid green light which then allows me to...
