Hello There,
Can anyone educate me if the CPU still works with a ripped GPU socket from the motherboard and the threads (i.e. Aluminum / Copper ) exposed ?
I tried to separate the GPU from motherboard. I have unlocked the clip which holds the GPU on the motherboard. But still it ripped off.
By 'threads' I assume you to mean contacts. Whether it can be saved depends on how bent and mangled they are. If they're straight and even it might be possible...but it's difficult. You have to very carefully slip the socket shell over each and every contact, simultaneously, without bending any of them.
Even then, once on, the next insertion of the GPU should be considered the last. You can try to keep it down when you try to remove it next but you have to assume it will just pull the shell off again. Also, a GPU support is essential now as the shell can no longer support it when the case is vertical. You might try putting dots of epoxy along the length of the shell to hold it down, but that's a bit ghetto IMO.
A picture...maybe several...will help of course. Highest resolution possible, and clearly lit.
If your board has another PCIe x16 you might could use it for a GPU. But you have to be vary careful not to bend and short any contacts on the abandoned socket. It might be better to carefully cut every one off if you choose this approach.
