Had a pin bent completely sideways, i managed to get it this straight but it still has a curve in it. Am i fucked?
Its pin VDD_18_S5 (Always on 1.8v supply voltage)
5800x pin bent

Remove the lead from a mechanical pencil, gently put over top and gently bend it back into place.
cunts fucked. shell out some shekels for a new one
maybe it will still work without that pin
not even kidding, some pins are just for power, dropping 1 would be fine in that case
which bent pin are you talking about? I see at least 3. Also make sure you bend it perfectly straight or the inductance will corrupt your memory
if it's a power supply pin it should be fine. if it was a data pin i'd toss it
>if it was a data pin i'd toss it
Yeah give it to me instead, there are ways to fix that without soldering too
Are you guys pulling your $500 CPUs out and juggling them? How does this even happen here so often.
cleaning toenails with what's available
Which side is that? It's either ground or vdd_18_s5 and both of them have duplicates. You can try straighten it and if you break it away it still should work just fine. If it's ground, you can safely simply remove it.
i cant believe I just learned something on LULZ
Assuming the gold box in the top left corresponds to the arrow on the cpu, its the VD voltage pin. In the original picture the arrow is bottom left
in the bottom right****
god bless you
damn thats cool. which one is the sneed inhibitor?
How did you do it? This is my nightmare and I must avoid at all costs
Got it like this
What kind of discount does "one bent pin" get you?
I'd imagine you could RMA it. Maybe they'd ask you to try using it first.
>a fucking C bend
I have no idea how you can fix it
Try with a tip of a graphite pen
not enough room to tilt the pencil without bending the surrounding pins
Get a better one then I can think of some that would work, like a Pentel drafting one
>graphite pen
Which third world country is this?
Get tiny needle nose pliers, or maybe tweezers and try to pinch that pin straight without bending the surrounding pins.
Would likely be the best bet. Just take it real slow and careful like.
I once stepped on a CPU and bent 20% of the pins, I spent like an hour straightening them and it worked fine. The pins finish straightening themselves out a bit more when you put the CPU in its socket
Even if you broke the pins, just place then in the socket and it'll work like an LGA
I know they finish straightening in the socket, just wasnt sure if this was straight enough to even get in
how does one step on a CPU
with their feet i presume
how does the CPU manage to get on the ground/feet level at any point of it's lifetime
Send it to christian summer camp
Wee
Just cut it off with nail clippers
>bent pin
They're doing you a favour. Get a new Intel CPU
>5800x
Toss it.
just crush it in the middle with very thin pliers. there must be something like that out there for precision work.
oh no no no 5800X/5800X3D bros how will we ever recover
NOOOOO
maybe take it to watchmaker? could have some ideas or tools for that.
Basic question: does the CPU go in? If yes, I wouldn't worry.
straighten it with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil
if it goes in the hole then it will work
