broken cpu pin computer wont start

[alosha007]

i noticed my cooler master 212 evo was making strange noises so i ordered a noctua fan, after installing it and putting my cpu/applying thermal paste my computer wont turn on, i took out the cpu and noticed 1 broken pin on the bottom row. everything was working fine yesterday could this be why it wont turn on now? please help me asap 🙁

That cpu is damaged it wont work. You have to get a new cpu.

 

[alosha007]

okay i just wanted to get down to the bottom of this issue so your sure its the cpu leading to no power? because if its that i can order a new one. and how do i know the new one will work with my computer it says amd phenom 2 on my old one dont know how many cores though etc.

 

[alosha007]

even 1 pin?

even 1 pin?

They tend not to put them there just for show.

Can one broken wire stop your automobile (or can one broken brake line not stop it!)? Sure. Same with a CPU.

 

[alosha007]

alright back to my other question, how do i know which new cpu will work with my old motherboard?

 

[Ijack]

You don't say what make and model your motherboard is, so difficult to answer. But the motherboard manual, or the manufacturer's web site, will give you this information. Pay particular attention to any BIOS updates required for a particular processor; these need to be applied before the processor is installed.

[alosha007]

i had a phenom II dual core or quad core before so should this one work?

 

[alosha007]

it says phenom II ht3.0 am3 on the motherboard

 

[alosha007]

it says as rock on it also

or
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-3-4Ghz-512KB-4000MHZ/dp/B002SRQ214
should both work correct? they are AM3 sockets the one i ordered is am3 so i canceled it

 

[alosha007]

decided to go with http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SRQ214/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item what are the reviews on this chip for gaming?

 

[rounakr94]

What is the motherboard model? Ask your dad to find it out. Its written on the motherboard with white ink or it can be found on the packaging.

 

[rounakr94]

That chip wont work if you have a mobo that supports 95w cpu because its a 125w cpu.

 

[alosha007]

he is out of town but i have a picture of my motherboard how can i post photos? i am hoping it will work because we alreay ordered it 🙁 and my previous chip was a phenom II also

 

[alosha007]

next to where it said "phenom II ht3.0 am3" on my motherboard there more white text "Dual channel DDR3 dual channel" and FSB2.6 Ghz 140w cpu" does this mean it will work since its 140? i am kind of freaking out now because i payed and ordered that graphics card hoping it would work 🙁 please let me know asap

 

[alosha007]

https://imageshack.com/i/ezdmoOXGj tell me if that works

 

[alosha007]

also noticed it said asrock extreme 3 but i cant see the rest because it is blocked by another part :/

 

[alosha007]

i am guessing it is this one http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3/ so please let me know if i am right and if this cpu i ordered should work i am pretty worried 🙁

 

[rounakr94]

Yes it will work since your board supports 140w and phenom is 125w.

 

[ak195]

U have to get the new one. One pin broken then it means CPU's dead. In hardware works u have to be very very careful even U R expert.

 

[alosha007]

thank you guys so much, so you are sure this chip should work for my motherboard? the one i linked seems to be right and the chip i am getting model number is HDZ965FBGMBOX so please confirm it will work with http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3/

 

[ak195]

yes.I think it supports dual, quad and hexa- core amd processors. Better to look on the list of supported processors list... http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3/?cat=CPU

 

[alosha007]

i cannot find it for some reason but rounakr94 said it should be fine and many people online seem like they are saying it will work, also on the box online it says supports phenom II, as well as on amazon when i look at amazon at asrock extreme3 http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-870-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Extreme3/dp/B003L838IE it says CPU: Socket AM3 Support AMD Phenom II X4/X3/X2 (except 920 /940) /Athlon II X4/X3/X2/Sempron processors; Six-Core CPU Ready; Supports Hyper-Transport 3.0 Technology; FSB 2600 MHz (5.2 GT/s) Chipset: AMD 870 & SB850 and mine is 965 so it should work correct? just need a final confirmation i have been up all night literally being uneasy now that i ordered it a while ago 🙁
