Poor quality image, hard to describe. Avoid using the flash and steer clear of reflections. Capture it in a place with plenty of natural light.
I’ll take a clearer picture. I attempted to install a faulty chip today for testing, but it didn’t stick when I pulled the arm down, even though it was placed correctly. I suspect this was the defective chip. The person who sold me the CPU and motherboard is the one I bought from. I’m just worried I might have wasted $250 on two pieces of equipment.
The photo seems to indicate some remaining pins in the holes... definitely a clearer view.
The chip I put in seems damaged, though it fits into the socket. There was no resistance when lowering the latch. I’m unsure if it will work with a new one. The seller who gave it to me is now banned and won’t respond. This is my first CPU installation, which is discouraging me from buying used gear. IMG_0701.MOV
