MoBo has a faulty pin?

[shaninder singh]

Hey Tech Gurus,

I have a question for you. I am gonna post a picture of my mobo CPU socket pic. Just take a look and tell me if you can judge that the pin is bent or not.

Also tell me if damage pin increases CPU temp.?

full story...

I bought Asus RX 480 4GB a GC week ago and was benchmarking it. I was using speccy from piriform to monitor the temp of my cpu, mobo, and GC.

I saw my CPU was touching 94 Cel. hence I turned it off. Next time I opened the CPU cooler and found out that it was not tightly screwed and some part of the cooling gel was blackish in color(after effects I think). so I cleaned the dust applied the paste and tightly screwed the cooler on top of the CPU. But again when I started the computer I went straight to the bios and AGAIN saw the temp spike from 60-70-85....than I turned it off again.

I think the CPU cooler is not fitting perfectly. CPU cooler is intel stock product.

I live in Delh, Indiai and I don't have an AC in my room and its summers Avg. Temp - 38 these days (go figure).


Update : My cpu was getting hot (above 100 Cel.) bcoz the cpu cooler was not tight enough. Now its working fine.

As for the bended pin, its bent into the opposite direction, but i am unable to find any issues it is creating. I am not going to try to fix it.

Thanks for the help anyways.

So you've solved the problem?

Just ensure the clips are secured correctly if it's the default CPU Cooler. Sometimes the clips aren't seated correctly.
