If only I could give you my LGA1156 Board with Missing pins...now that's a challenge.
that'd be a fun collab
Depending on which pins are missing, it still might perfectly. just a ground here and there wont kill anything.
I will have to start practising jedi mind powers to get these things working next.
You can swap out the socket with some special machinery, there are videos of it on CZcams. But it's very expensive, a and bit silly on an older board.
Budget-Builds Official
You say a lot of bullshit, on this channel too, how did you break these pins?? Guess you need to buy DELL or HP next time, or a Lenovo. Never open the case! let them install DIMM's. Only install the software yourself! On the couch?
Can confirm. Bent pins on my R5 1600... After recovering from fainting, and with a lot of focus and patience, I fixed it. Very scary experience.
My new Ryzen came with bent pins. I am using a Seam Ripper to fix my bent pins. I was curious why it wasn't fitting into my socket and I did it correctly.
I have 1600 too I got scared af thinking I just lost money
Mine's an R3 1300x :( Not fixed yet
did the same durn thing when I installed my first cpu didn't seat it correctly and bent them using the lock lever...grrr. what can only be called 'judicious manipulation' I was able to get 'em all aligned and back in phew.
Just did the same thing, my mum described it as a heart surgery, turned on lol just need to put it back together
I hate when people throw away CPUs/Motherboards because they have 1 to 3 bent pins. It's a waste especially when you can bend the pins back to normal, and if not, sometimes the CPU/Mobo will work.
Pan-Celtic Socialist I'd rather them sell it if they "can't" fix it themselves. That's were I come in and buy it from them 😁
oh o3o
Pan-Celtic Socialist i bent a pin on a z87 sabertooth board and i cant seem to be able to bend it back. No matter what i do
This z68 was a bargain! So easy too!
Yep. I have three BROKEN (broken at the base of the board so no contact) on my Asus z97-a board. Still rocking an i5 4690k at 4.5ghz on it with zero issues.
Make it a series. Fixing broken parts ....
People must really like what you do. Here I sit waiting for building my 1st PC but a little short on cash, while there are people sending you perfectly working things. Respect Mate!
I snavvle all my bargains from the side of the road here in Germany. A few years ago, I found out the hard way what a pain the arse it is to straighten bent pins on an AMD CPU. It was only an Athlon 64, but it was still my first 64 bit processor, so you can imagine how keen I was to get it was working. I found the 1mm jeweler's screwdriver that you get in the packs from the 1$ shop worked a charm! I got all the pins straightened, and the pc ended up running like a champion. I love your videos, man! I haven't seen a crappy one yet!
Other tech channels get brand new stuff and make a video, this guy gets broken old stuff and makes a 100x better video.
That z68 mainboard is a beast. Glad to see it working. Maybe a build in the future including it is a good idea.
I wish I could send you my almost dead r9 280x and my dying Asus rampage 3 extreme too, but unfortunately the shipping cost is way too much for me.
That's just why you're one of the bests Tech CZcamsrs out there. :)
what was that spray yo used to clean the thermal paste out of the amd socket? and what exactly is the cleaning instructions for this as i have a "dead chip and board" where this is the issue.
A trick you can do with the PGA sockets is use a staple you can cut it with fingernail clippers a little bit longer than what you would need so it makes contact with the CPU works perfectly fine done it several times for broken pins.
Kudos for that Z68 find !
How how do you dry the Brake Cleaner? How long before trying to put things together and testing the items?
subscribed for your humility
Great to see such generous fans. You deserve them. Always up beat and positive, never hurts. BTW a big yes to the ryzen 1400 single channel memory idea. As to the broken pins, the thing works as is so maybe AMD might want a look at it. Who knows maybe it never happened before?
Bryan i have a lga 1366 mobo server i have 2 e5620 xeons and i think theirs thermal paste on it can i still use brake cleaner thanks if you could help i bought the server to run an ark server
I unbent pins with a credit card or a razor, just enough for them to line up wit the rest of the pins, the socket does the rest
A razor works amazingly well. Being able to bend pins back a row at a time, and have them being bent back uniformly, is a serious time saver! Would probably have saved Brian hours of time and frustration, and probably would have kept him from having the broken pins as well. I just used this to fix a seriously fucked fx-4130 I'd gotten for free.
@@muzicdominator524 any video on how to do it?
TeCh ExPlOiTs the one from jayztwocents uses a razor blade
@@techbuildspcs you can use a mechanical pencil too
Hi i just got a B550plus tuf motherbord and i broke MB_DQS_L[3] pin on my ryzen 5 3600 . what kind of ram should i use and what should i do for the time being ? :/
You can try soldering the pins back on. I actually managed to do it on my brothers Athlon X4 when I had broken a couple off and now it's working flawlessly in his system!
Gratz on the sponsor m8!
I learned the hard way when replacing the stock cooler with a AIO... while trying to remove the stock cooler off my Ryzen 5 1600 it ripped the CPU right out the x370 socket. Bending several pins on the edge. Had to buy a new Ryzen 5 1600 CPU. I didn't run the CPU long enough to heat the thermal paste and instead of twisting the cooler off I pulled. Money I could have use to upgrade my 1060 to a better video card.
Oh yeah that sucks, damn man feel sorry for you, though these pins must have been bent in a much different way, it like a hurricane in the middle of the cpu.. lol a complete nightmare was this one.
I learned this with an FX 6300. Thermal paste becomes glue apparently
Why the fuck are you using a x370 motherboard with a ryzen 5
Mohammed Essam mainly because I liked the aesthetics (looks) of the board. It's the low end X370 motherboard from Gigabyte (AORUS X370 K5) which was only $129 USD.
Chandler Kristoff Apparently so. Surprised none of the pins were pulled out but it didn't matter a new CPU had to be purchased.
Can you compare the older haswell 4690k and 4790k against ryzen and kabylake by any chance? Thanks.
What kind of spray did you use in the PGA motherboard?
Devil's canyon is a beast
mine r7 won't work in dual channel ram all pins are lika new no bents motherboard is b350 f strix and im on stock cooler spire when i putt ram in dual channel pc boots and works and then when i restart or shut down pc and start it. it restarts 4 times in booting screen and then boot in single channel so reads only 1 stick i need help for fix thank you :(
Getting older stuff to tinker with is soo much fun
I wonder if you can just super glue the broken pins back on, would that still pass a signal through to the socket?
Doing giveaways with send in parts sounds like a amazing idea.
thanks for telling me about the brake cleaner thing i have a gigabyte am3 board in my closet that i found in a garage pc that has thermal paste in the cpu socket there isnt much but if the brake cleaner can get it out if it still works i have a couple am3 cpus i could pair with it to sell it as a bundle
Hey Bryan, do you have processors for your LGA 1366 X58 boards?
Thanks for the vid!! Very informative
What's that stuff you used to clean it? Brake cleaner?
I have an intel motherboard with lots of bent pins and that also work, but with single channel memory. Most of the pins seems to be about memory bandwidth.
It could always be worse, couldn't it? Could not boot up at all :p.
i had a 1155 motherboard with 5 missing pins, everything was fine except the igpu didn't work at all and i had to use a external graphics card.
Axecution you lucky son of a gun! ;)
Ola Justin ikr, whats better is that i got it for a dollar because the owner was certain that the thing was 100% dead ;)
@@OlaJustin why don't you straighten them?
Will the Z68 board have any problems for overclocking?
What are you using for clining the CPU socket ?
Does someone know where I can get a modded bios for my GA-H97-D3H with MCE? I would like to get higher clockspeeds out of my Xeon E3-1231v3 cause I think it´s bottlenecking my GTX 1080.
hey, what website should i use to benchmark my pc tech? i was wondering how well my trashy pc works
YAY! You brought back the music!!!
EDIT: the YES MUSIC!
Do you find running in single channel memory actually impedes performance?
I ask this as I want to buy an ITX board and put a single 16 GB stick in to have the ability to upgrade to 32 GB later, rather than 2x 8 GB sticks.
Great vid as always.
I would have loved to fix that 4790K.
Great video, Bryan. Could make a really good series just maybe keep some of the adverts til the end as you're wrapping up the vid as it kind of breaks the fluidity and production quality, don't be a linus XD
Anyone know what mic Bryan is using??? I really need it now :)
I bent pins back on a amd athlon x4 630 im super glad it worked.
Ive got the same GTX 970 in my machine.. would you do a 2008~ era build with like an 8800GTX ?? that would be cool.
Great video, Enjoying to watch, Keep up the good work!
Great vid Brian thanks for the quality content as usual
How about hitting the pins with a heat gun before trying to bend them? Might help to not snap the pins?
I have a an r9 280x that over heated during a game session. If i sent it do you think youd be able to fix it?
What do u do with all these stuff and builds
whats name you case in your back bro ?
Reminds me of my biggest mistake... I managed to bend 12 - 24 pins on an FX-8350, the thermal paste was too cold and turned into a strong adhesive. Lesson learned, boot the system and let the CPU warm up before powering the system down and removing the cooling unit/CPU.
or just twist the cooler...
The computer sat in relatively cooler temperatures before removing the CPU. Based on AMD mounts using a clamp style design, twisting the cooler would likely have resulted in more damage. The combination of cooler height, short distance from fans, and the CPU becoming dismounted from the relatively weak mounting system, can attribute to the bending of CPU pins. Of course this was all because I didn't warm the CPU first, which ultimately made this issue user error...
Twisting works fine, tested multiple times, never ever ever ever pull a radiator directly outwards from an AM series MOBO, CPU will most likely pop out and surprise you.
Noted, would have been helpful if the IT classes I was taking mentioned that :/
Did the same thing with my fx8350. Bent quite a few pins, about 20. Managed to bend them back into place with a pocket knife, worked perfectly fine afterwards.
you're the 'YES MAN'.....as always awesome video,keep up the awesome work ;)
So did the Ryzen actually work would it still perform simple tasks with 2 missing pins if only single channel?
I had bent pin on my asus z77 board... didn't notice it, put cpu back in and it wasn't working, then i opened it and saw that bent pin, it was bent in wrong direction, i think shorting some pins.
I was able to bend it back, but its not exactly in original position, and i sometimes have boot problems. When it does it, i turn my computer on, it shuts off and back on, crashes while booting windows, and i have to hold down power button to turn it off. After that it boots up normally, and works without problems. It also sometimes happens when waking from sleep.
Maybe you can use electrically conductive glue to attach the pins back to the cpu. That allows more room for error than soldering and does not require specialised equipment.
Can you make also an video , when youre pc or laptop actiting as dead, what for steps and can you fix it.
had the exact same issue with a lga 775 someone bought in. thermal grease all in the pins took ages to get the stuff off
didn't know about the difference about thermal pastes... conductive is the better one, did I understand that correctly?
I used a razor blade to line up the pins on my 2600x. I dropped it when installing.
Works like it was intended to now. I was lucky. :)
What about i7 6400T, ECS X58-A (3th channel of memory not working, runs only on in dual channel), G3258 (OC to 5.0GHz 1.420V), GT 440, also i have a bunch of old 775, 478 MB's, Pentium 3/4, Athlon X2 245, AM2 MB, LOTS of 1,2,3,4Gb of RAM, 40,80,250,500 HHD''S, old AverMedia capture card, etc... Do you need anything of that crap? :)
What I've used in the past is the tool that you use to remove Molex Pins. It easily fits over the round Pins and sturdy enough to move the Pins without snapping them.
From what I've seen in your video I'd venture to say this CPU was accidentally dropped and landed at an awkward angle.
Cheers...
Thank you! Very useful video!
hey mate what u do with those fixed tech, do you sell it? I'd need a motherboard like this :)
I love these videos of fixing stuff!
Does Bryan send them back once repaired?
you're all class Brian.
Will the giveaway you explained be worldwide im in uk
Hey Bryan, any updates on your mining run?
Cool Brian i love all of that you certainly have patients when i comes to fixing cpu's i have done that its dam hard
I have one bent pin on the last row of my ryzen 7 1700. Is this ok?
This is the video I was expecting from u for years.....
my current cpu is an fx4300 and it has alot of bent pins.. i did it taking the fan of to add paste.. the heatsink and paste were so tight the cpu came out with the fan.. i straitened them out and it still works
One time I bought an old Celeron/P4 Windows XP era machine at a Savers store and it had the CPU (basically glued to the heat sync due to old thermal paste) rattling around in the case. I used a butter knife to bend the pins back and it took about an hour but it worked. Still have that PC today.
Great vid, and I agree about with the expensive parts - think you should use some of the value of expensive components to help run the channel and give/ donate the rest
Another greaT video, Man such Great products, awesome content TECH YES FTW !!! cant wait to see more
It does take a lot of patience. I'm working on an R5 1600x, and most of the pins came back pretty straight, but one on the side was bent way over and sadly, it snapped off. Not sure if it'll work or not, but time will tell! Patience is key!
I found that a utility knife blade out of the handle just the blade works pretty well still takes a long time though and try doing it blind i can't see it so have to feel my way around
Thanks so much for this video. I built a new ryzen setup, all new hardware but for some reason dual channel just wouldn't work. I suspected the motherboard at first because I tried different ram slots but it turned out it was a single bent CPU pin at fault.
Man that Ryzen cpu Bryan you are the man! awesome work
i feel bad for the guy with a broken ryzen 5 cpu
Sokrey that's me
im so sorry for you man. did you try getting a replacment?
Sokrey yeah I saved up and got a 1500x
:c I just want to play Minecraft
You could always use the tip of an empty pen, the pins usually fit very nicely to just be put straight as you use an angle to fix. Make sure it's clean though, don't know what could happen if lead stays on it.
There is a reason these pins are gold plated. This is so to minimize oxidization on the pins.
It's possible that the circuit the pin runs on works under a specific resistance -- and oxidation on both ends (as the gold plating is broken) increases the resistance on that specific circuit, causing a slight voltage drop - even if the pin is contacting the broken part of the chip when it is mounted.
Try sticking the pin in, then right before you put the cpu on, spray some non-conductive contact cleaner on both sides then quickly put it on while still wet. Hopefully enough oxidization is cleaned off and the resistance is reduced.
As these chips run on really low voltages (below 2v) a 0.1 voltage drop is huge.
Also try to put the pin in the socket broken part down, plated side up.
Or -- gold-plate the pin and the contact again.
I like that you tried the zen cpu because friend bought one and it was bend right from package,i ve fixed it with more luck tho. It made me wonder if there is not some simpler solution than micro soldering
The most simplistic and down to earth CZcams'r I've ever seen!!! Thank you for such amazing real world that makes sense content 👍✌🖖
The silver wire you find INSIDE the SATA cables CAN be inserted into the socket and work better than other "original pins". Just get it the right lenght. Fixed an 8370 with 2 missed pins this way, and its working 100% for amost 2 years.
Interesting, thanks for the recommendation.
😀 please excuse me...
I am a blind person who lives in Argentina
I'm wondering if is possible for you build a use it BC and send it to me
Unfortunately it's impossible for me to find a job as a blind person but I can afford this shipping... if you are willing to help me please contact me at estebanburman@yahoo.com
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this cheers
Esteban Burman How did you type this?
Yo bryan for fixing PGA chips I have had luck with a sewing needle and a gift card. Not sure if the spacing differs between AM4 and AM2 but it worked a charm.
Some people suggest asking a jeweller, they have precision stuff and a steady hand.
Thermal paste sticking can be a problem, the two main things being to get it warm and then try to break the grip by twisting
Bryan and other people here I got a biostar a880gz and an x4 955. Unfortunately, the cpu had bent pins and I broke 1 off trying to fix it. I vacuumed out the case (I know bad bad idea) and might have killed the mobo with ESD. From just looking at it, it is fine, but might have gotten some (probably not conductive old thermal paste) in the socket. When I try to start it up, I get all fans turning but no beeps and no post on my screen (doesnt matter which port or if I use an extra gpu).
Can you guys help me determine if the cpu or board or both are indeed dead. I hate throwing old but still good hardware in the trash but tbh I don't feel like buying another old cpu+mobo just for testing. So, what should I do? Would be very grateful for suggestions!
btw I know for a fact the before disassembly both components worked.
I fixed an old amd like fx something with a credit card. You can slide it in between the pins and push it over so that it only pushes the bent pins up. Worked well and the cpu worked perfectly.
I just fixed an old Athlon XP 6000+ with 20+ bent pins for a pc on my school. The pc was running a very limited piece of software that we can't install on anything else since we have lost the original license, so the only option is to keep using the pc. A technician took out the cpu trying to clean everything but DROPPED IT from 3+ feet! He just gave up.
There were like whole rows of bent pins. I used a razor blade, with the edge prying on the pins. I would recommend going VERY slow when bending the pins back. There were no broken pins, and the cpu works fine, and tested with 48+ hours of aida64. Don't give up on bent pins!
Can I have the gtx 970 s I can sli with my other 970?????
Brian, sharing my experience, i had to use Ram slot 1 and 2 with my Ryzen 1600 to get my total 16 gb vengeance ram usable, for some reason, slot 2 and 4 showed 16 gb (8 gb usable). Btw, mine was 2 single channel ram sticks. Might be a compatibility issue. Currently using dual channel trident z RGB 16 GB 3000 BUS.
I was honestly hoping you would have gotten that Ryzen CPU working but O well, good video none the less. :-)
You won a thumbs up for all those hours. Keep it up.
Also i would like to suggest PUBG cpu content. Specially when dropping into the military zone, or other popular zones.
i bent my a10-7850k pins lots of them. but i had a knife that was exactly the same with as the space between them. then gone row by row bending them back up. i had no pins break its oc to 4.3 gh and over 2 years old
Anybody know where to find a X79 motherboard that isn't crazy expensive ??
I received yesterday my Ryzen 1600 CPU and OUT OF THE BOX had 2 slightly bent pins. I am absolutely 100% sure I did not bent them, as I just pull out of the plastic and insert it in the right way correctly to the socket in the first place.
However, one side (upper right) was just a little bit off and in the beginning I couldn't understand why it did not fit. I turned it and saw the bent pins.
My fix took 2 minutes actually and was with the mechanical pencil. However, just as I said, they were only bent just slightly so perhaps that is why I managed to do it with the pencil.
Thankfully no issues like yours in the video with the single instead of dual memory. I have not tried overclocking it yet and thermals on my test open bench are not the greatest with CPU sitting idle at 42-43 Celsius (ambient at 27-28).
I accidentally bent the pins on a pentium 4 when I pulled it out of the motherboard when trying to remove the heatsink. (it was attached with thermal adhesive). I managed to separate it from the heatsink and fix the bent pins. Everything worked the way it was supposed to, thankfully.
From back in the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP days: It's possible to use a 5mm automatic pencil to straighten the pins by inserting the pin and levering it up to the correct position, in as little bending as possible.
Love the way Ur so humble that why I like this channel two thumbs up👍👍
If they're not bent too far over (nearly flat against the bottom) my preferred tool is a razor blade (plastic if available) as it makes it easier to get them lined up perfectly, and the wider area of the blade reduces the chance of over-bending as you can definitely feel it and stop when you hit 10 straight pins. Also getting those 2 pins back on the edge of the socket shouldn't be that big of a hassle if you have a soldering + hot air station, clean the pads off with some wick, put down some fresh solder with the iron (if you lay it down right solder should only stick to the metal contacts, just use a little bit), heat it up with the heat gun until it melts again, and stick the pin in the melted solder with tweezers, then as necessary straighten it up with a nice razor blade.
