Failed to connect or power on the CPU due to damaged pins.
Failed to connect or power on the CPU due to damaged pins.
Pins can be reused from an older CPU to a newer one, though a 100$ new CPU and a 60$ used one present challenges. Finding someone willing to do the job fairly and correctly might be difficult. If you’re ready to upgrade, you can still purchase a better CPU for testing. Unless you’re considering AM5 or Intel paths, and the motherboard isn’t functioning, you’ll likely need a replacement anyway—though you’ll have the option to return the CPU later.
