Socket

Hi, does my CPU socket look good and are my pins okay? View: https://imgur.com/a/LVHNfA3 If you need any better pictures, feel free to ask Thanks to all for helping with my posts/questions!

so, theoretically, could i solder on a different cpu socket to a motherboard?

I had to disassemble the computer when moving and now I collect it in another place. I did not mark where which cable and which connector fits. there is such a cable from the power supply unit: where should it be connected on motherboard Asus H410M-E?

Hello, I create this post because by removing my processor I broke and twisted pins (see photos), on an Asus Z690-A Gaming. I would like to know if there is a chance that it still works or if I have to change the motherboard? Images : https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=22/40/xlfb.jpg Thanks...

I have a 10 years old Samsung SyncMaster 933 monitor. It has this kind of power cable and a monitor input design. Basically it's a 3 pin input. Middle pin is slightly bigger than other two and PSU of monitor is built inside the monitor only: (see Photo below): Photo 1...

Hi. I really like the S2421HN in reviews. And planning to buy same. But there's some problem I noticed in reviews on Amazon India (I am from India). Most people complained that it has 16A plug which is physically bigger (see photo), but Indian homes usually have small sockets on wall. Which are...

Hello, I've got an old laptop. It's Toshiba Satellite L450-18P. I managed to upgrade the CPU (It's not BGA) from Intel Pentium Dual Core T4400 @2.20 Ghz w FSB 800MHZ to Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 2.40 Ghz with the same fsb and higher L2 Cache. My mobo chipset is Intel GL40, some other laptop...

So I was swapping my CPU the other night and even though I used the twist and rock method my cpu came out with my cooler but only on one side. I then decided to just pull it off which in hindsight may have been not the best move. I got it out though and I didn't see any bent pins on the cpu I...

My current cooler is some kind of 240mm water cooler AIO, and im unsure which exactly it is. I know its a pretty standard AIO but if needed i would'nt mind checking which exactly it is. Currently im using an i5-8600k with a 1151 socket i believe, and my pc is a pre-built so i dont have any extra...

Please bare with me it might be little long but I really need your help fellers. Okay so a little accident happened. While re applying thermal paste to my Ryzen 5 3600 I decided to use more paste than usual because the paste itself was about to end and I didnt want to waste it (Rookie mistake I...

so my problem here is that i just bought a new motherboard, asus rog strix b450-f gaming am4 atx and i have a CPU from my uncle thats the ryzen 5 2400g. when i try to put the cpu in the slot, it drops in, but it doesnt go in fully. its like rocking back and forth inside the socket. if i look at...

As it turns out what I did in https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cant-plug-in-power-cable.3678684/ to my PPU socket had consequences. The PPU cable always slides out and the computer repeatedly loses power. Every time I adjust the cable, I can hear electric sparks. Is this bad? I can still...

Hi there! Im thinking of upgrading my CPU to a better one but the problem is that im not the best with computers and doesnt know a single thing about this stuff..

Bought this asrock h110 btc pro off of someone, apparently a pin has broken off... Fixable or should I just take the L and get another board? Image

Hi, just wanted to ask a quick question regarding the position of the lever on Intel mainstream sockets (LGA115x/1200) when the CPU is installed. I didn't find anything when searching about this. I'm wondering about the horizontal position of the lever, how far from/towards the socket it should...

I switched from a RYZEN 5 3600 to a RYZEN 7 6800x everything went good but the temps were to high i removed the cooler (a noctuna like,double fan) put more thermal paste,pot everything together the pc wont turn on nothing,dead the pins arent bend i tryed everything,battery reset,different...

What are the technical names of each of these 4 sockets on this old computer from like 1990? View: https://i.imgur.com/MHi0NKb.jpg View: https://i.imgur.com/iaFxNSE.jpg I suppose the first one is VGA for a monitor, the second is for a printer and the other two are for monitors too but what...

If I suspend my computer and then for example plug in my mobile charging cable in a different socket, the computer awakes from the suspension and turns on. I think it also happens when a lamp is turned on. So it happens when theres power activity somewhere. Is this normal?

Hello, I have a motherboard foxconn h61mxt1/f2/-s/-v . running on an intel core i3-2100 @ 3100 MHz. This board has 2 RAM sockets and it fits with DDR3. The computer came in with 2 RAM sticks, Transcend, 2gb each, 1333 MHz. At some point (years ago) one of the two got damaged so I replaced it...

I tried to plug it in but it just doesn't go in fully. I can only get it a little bit inside but the cable always hangs out a bit. I've tried it with force but I don't want to do it too hard or else it might break. What should I do? Do I need to do something else first to get it in?

A couple of my friends were trying to convince me that their motherboards were compatible with both AMD and Intel cpus via a modular component for the socket. I have never heard of such a thing so I wanted to confirm if this is true. Thanks for any help!

Hello, I currently have 1060 6gb with ryzen 5 2600, 16 ram and good ssd storage. My motherboard is ASrock B450M pro4 that i believe has AMD AM4 socket. My PSU is 550w Corsair. I kinda want an upgrade. I was thinking to buy rtx 3070 if possible and a ryzen 5 3600 to pair with it. Here are my...

I've Intel Core 2 Duo 3.14Ghz CPU on LGA 775. My PC hard freeze sometimes. On freeze, the system becomes unresponsive, whatever was on screen is frozen, and I hear a horrendous screeching noise. The sound is an awful jumble of high pitched noises. It's loud and quite annoying. It continues...

So when I was installing my CPU (Athlon 200GE) into the AM4 socket of my Mobo ( Msi A320M VD/s Pro v2) I had few of the pins accidentally bent but I made sure that none of them broke and got stuck inside the socket. Now I am having a weird problem. WHEN I TRY TO POWER MY PC WITHOUT THE...

I can't seem to find out what socket it is and how many MHZ it runs at. How do I find this out? I've got a Toshiba Satelite c655 running windows 7 ultimate.

Essentially, there's an ad for a $10 server; has everything but the ram and second CPU. Even if I have to buy them myself, that's $30ish more. RAM I can get for dirt cheap. I also want to set up a small test database for homework and stuff as well. Is it worth even bothering with this?

I placed AM3+ CPU inside AM3 socket (no pin was broken!), and powered the PC (which didn't boot). Will the CPU still work in a AM3+ socket (on another motherboard)?

My mobo (msi b250m pro-vd) decided to stop working almost 2 weeks ago and since then I've learnt I can't just buy any mobo. I have an Intel i5-7400 so most mobo's are incompatible (according to the guy at memory express) but I've looked at mobo's that support 8th and 9th gen intel's, but they...

Was removing heatsink and pulled out cpu along with it without the lever from AM3+ socket being released, presumably happned because the cpu was welded to the heatsink with thermal paste. Will that have damaged the cpu socket and/or the cpu as the board doesn't seem to be posting when new cpu...

Hi, I know bad things will happen here but since my cousin will do it so it's fine. His plan is to install the i5-650(1156 scoket) on a Motherboard that supports 1155. What could possibly happen when he attempts it to boot?

I had my motherboard powered on with no cpu in socket but when it powered on I saw a spark in the socket as if 2 barbs were touching. How bad can this be?? Will I need a new motherboard? It all still powers on and everything seems to work i have yet to get my new cpu to test it out😔. Hope it...
