Anyone capable of repairing broken and bent CPU pins?

[xrob]

Hi,

I was switching hardware to a different case, when removing the AIO(should have just left the damn thing on) i managed to pull the CPU out at the same time. Anyway, that resulted in about 9/10 bent pins and one broken, located around 2 pins from the edge.

I've seen a few youtube videos of people soldering new ones back from a donor CPU and bending them back, being that its a 5900x I'd like to try and salvage it but dont have the tools, skill or patients to attmept it. I'd probably screw it up more lol

If anyone has the knowledge and wants to have a go, happy to pay, PM me.

Cheers
Rob

you sure there is a broken pin? I can't seem to see the damage properly on the potato pic

Looking at the pinout diagrams that are available online there's a chance that the missing pin is one of the many VSS pins and there's a chance that the CPU will run without it. The picture doesn't show enough to be sure of the orientation.

I can see all the bent pins in the middle (a bit lower down).

The red circle is the broken pin I see it clearly. Blue is the bent pins.

Better eyes than me then as above if ot were me id straighten up the bent ones and test. After that id solder in a new pin. Guaranteed to be a nightmare to solder a new one in that location.

It might not be though it might be the centre of the photo or something and it could be the angle of taken photo.

Sorry about the photo guys, my phone camera just would focus on it.

You are spot on with your mark up though, thanks for that, will upload a wider angle picture in a second

The bent pins are easy to fix it’s the one missing. It might be in the cpu socket which is a big problem. The cpu and board might now be damaged.

Could you upload a photo of the socket as well?

unfortunately my iphone just cant take photos of things this small

Socket is fine, fortunately i had a 3600 spare so back up and running.

Must be nice

Would be better if i hadnt ****** a 5900x though lol

You can fix that cpu but would require very slow soldering and unbending of the pins. It’s do-able.

From your pictures and this pinout Wiki https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/packages/socket_am4#Pin_Map

The broken pin is luckily I/O power and you may have no issues running with one missing.

VDDIO_MEM_S3 = DRAM I/O Ring Power Supply

I would bend back the bent ones and try it.

If you do need to solder it I would consider getting a pro to do it, it looks easy to make a mess without experience.

I had a bit of a woopsy with my 3700x and bent a few pins the other day

I followed Jay2cents menthod of running a razor blade between the runs

Luckily for me it seems to be working fine.
