hello, you're working on a budget older ixit build and hit a snag with the cheap mobo you got from ebay. it has two bent pins in the cpu socket. while you could return it, I think it's worth trying to fix it yourself since you've bent pins before on amd cpus. i'm not sure if tweezers will work here, but maybe a gentle approach would help. anyone with experience can share tips or better methods? thanks for your help!
The most effective approach is to bend the pins gradually, allowing the metal to adjust. Each bend weakens the area, so patience prevents further damage. Even if it takes several attempts, achieving a stable shape without breaking is acceptable. If these pins relate to spare VCIO or similar locations, you might not notice any impact. Using a socket pinout can help determine the correct method.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely check the pinout next. The image might appear different due to perspective, but both components seem fine.
Você pode usar os pinos de forma segura mesmo que estejam quebrados, pois eles são quase redundantes. Se forem os pinos de dados, é melhor desmontar alguns componentes. Para objetos pequenos, simplesmente dobre-os com agulhas ou pinças; a fenda abaixo do pino pode servir como ponto de alavanca.
they made adjustments and used precise tools under a magnifying glass, achieving the desired result. Appreciate the feedback! I won’t be able to test until the GPU arrives, but hopefully she’ll post soon. Edit 10/9/22: finally managed to test it—life had other plans, so it’s on hold. It works now.
