[SOLVED] CPU little fall, can it be damaged?

[SilverPigtail]

Ok, so, a bit time ago I accidentally dropped my CPU from a 20cm fall. I was going to save it on its box and it came out of it, fall on the desktop, exit from the plastic and fall a little from it. I checked the connectors an looks fine, no scratches and amything. Are these things very fragile?

I've heard people drop it from much higher and it still survived. As long as it didn't fall directly on the underside (where the connections are) I think you should be fine.

I think it fall in the underside, not directly (it rolls one time), but it did. :/

I would still not worry too much, 20cm isn't a lot. Intel CPU's are not as fragile as AMD CPU's. As long as you didn't drop it in the socket.

This doesn't take away you might have bad luck. Personally I wouldn't worry too much and just wait and see once you can test it again.
