I might've beaten my i5-8600k to death, plz HELP

[john_minton]

So the other day when I was installing my hyper 212 evo cooler on my motherboard, the screws didn't line up, and it didn't fit and it was slanted and I got pissed. So I took my cooler and hit it against the poor CPU in the MOBO. It was maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of an inch from the CPU, I did it 1-2 times. Now I have all the components, proceeded to turn on the PC then... Yeh it won't turn on. The PSU is fine, but wanting to know if I ruined the CPU or just damaged the MOBO which shouldn't be a huge problem.

In the image, on the side you can see these 2 scratches, is that normal?!

besides those 2 scratches on the side, do you think intel would replace this CPU with my warranty if the CPU is the issue?

You mean those two symmetrical indentions where the CPU socket lever presses down on the CPU and leaves a notch on both side? Other than that I don't see any scratches. You'd have to point them out.

You beat your cpu with a cooler? How am I or anyone else supposed to know if that caused damage? There are a million things that could cause a PC not to turn on, beating on your motherboard and CPU with a hunk of metal is certainly one them.

you hulk smashed that cpu so hard, the pins on the bottom might be bended or be broken, and if you are unlucky, you also bent the pin socket on the MB. this will not fall in your warranty and requires an replacement on users wallet.

owners fault.

you can try to bend the pins on the cpu back so it will work again, and if the pins broke on the MB, well RIP.

oh ok, I'm new to PC building so I didn't know what they were

I looked at the motherboard and didn't notice any bent pins. I'm not sure if its just my imagination, but ALL the pins were at maybe a 80 degree angle. It was likely my imagination

The metal on the top of your CPU is an IHS (integrated heat spreader), you could in theory drill into it and it would still work assuming you didnt hit the die below. Scratches would have very little effect, your thermal paste should fill them anyway. I doubt the problem lies with the CPU.

then you got lucky, then i think the pins or something else broke of the cpu or MB?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from john_minton : "Can I replace broken LGA 1151 pins with LGA775 pins in my motherboard?"

So I broke off the pins on my Gigabyte z370 hd3p while trying to repair bent pins. Is it possible to take the LGA775 pins and put them into an LGA 1151 pin hole? Can I even you a very fine piece of copper?

Question from john_minton : "finished building PC. Ethernet and power button lights on, but computer wont turn on at all including fans"

Hi,



Plz note I did go through most of the troubleshoot tips on
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
I just finished building my PC with the following specs:

Intel i5-8600k

Gigabyte Z370 HD3P

Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 3000mhz

EVGA 500B 80 plus PSU

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

NZXT s340 elite white

(dont have a gpu yet)

I plugged in the computer and attempted to boot into bios. The lights on the power button on the case was on, and also the ethernet port had a orange light. I turned on the computer with the power button but no hope. I tried shorting the CMOS Reset prongs but didn't work. All my ports are plugged in. Only ports that aren't plugged in, is some COM,USB etc ports. The cpu fans, and case fans also didn't turn on. But with lights on the power button, i figured it power was coming through the PSU and motherboard.

The CPU looks fine but if you damaged your CPU socket I'm sorry to say you have to get a new motherboard.

It works on AMD motherboards but I advise against it on intel motherboards because the pins aren't exactly straight and it would be very easy to fry your CPU by attempting this.

Most Z370 boards are about $140-$150...; a rather expensive lesson in patience, sorry.

never smash equipment I guess is the lesson here.

Better spending your money on some anger management.

Intel CPUs do not have pins.

Pins were bent was luckily able to fix the MOBO and the PC is now running fine.

was luckily able to fix the MOBO, did take some time, but was able to bend the pins with a needle and magnifying glass
