It is really cool to see this cpu being repaired instead of becoming more e-waste. I hope you make the video showing the repair of the ryzen cpu pins; I want to see that! :)
I wonder what that resistor's function is if the system seems to work without it. Anyways, great job on the repair of the other two. Working with such small SMDs can be a pain.
I don’t know how people feel comfortable destroying expensive things like this. I bought a broken 3080 for $700 CAD that someone had cut off part of the PCB and the 3080 would only clock to 1500mhz and if it went any higher it would crash the system.
It's nice to see broken hardware being revived and working, I've just done this myself by replacing a blown input filtering capacitor for the vrm on a z370 motherboard.
Just watching your videos makes me all the more interested in the PC building community. I have yet to miss a single one of your uploads XD You've always got something intriguing going on
Great job with the smd's on the intel chip. For the AMD ones you could also try to use different diameter seringe needles that are used for science experiments and have round tip.
It's so impressive seeing that you were able to actually get the 12900k back to working conditions so big props on that. And I always have really enjoyed that you record doing the work because it makes it that much more intriguing.
Great work Roman. Usually ripped off pads are very hard to work with. Scratching the surface is probably the only way to try to expose some metal from beneath.
I didn’t think it would be possible to fix a broken cpu, but now that I think about it if it wasn’t possible to do then people wouldn’t sell broken ones on sites like ebay. Cool to see, I’m glad you got at least some of them working :)
This is the kind of content why I subscribed to you in the first place. Thanks a lot for keep bringing us some different, unique and more engineering-related kind of content, Roman!

Man, you are incredible, thanks to you I can overclock my core2 Quad for the first time, now you repair cpus that anyone would give up for dead, you are great bro.
@ There's a mod you can do with electrical tape on the core2 quad called BSEL, I was running my old Q6600 @ 3GHz all 4 cores for like 5 years

@@_BangDroid_ Wow, I really didn't know about it, and in fact I just overclocked my old Q9650, and only managed to overclock it to 3.4GHz, since it really is a CPU that I don't use anymore.
Pretty cool that it worked so well! I have to give you a ton of credit for doing that because I found soldering new batteries on old GameBoy catridges scary to do. I'd be sweating doing that on an expensive CPU. Though I guess it's worth the risk.
I'm impressed with what you did. I'm old now, and my shakey ass hands would never be able to fix those SMDs, the pins I could do yeah, the soldering, NOPE!
great video, amazing how something so technologically advanced can be broken and repaired relatively simply. keep up the awesome videos, can't thank you enough for them.
I have zero experience with soldering or this level of electronics repair but you just make everything seem possible. Really enjoyed the video, thanks!
Surprised you were successful. I saw that missing pad and figured "That's it, he's screwed." Nice job Roman. It's cool seeing these things being fixed, especially when it's such a sought after part for so many and was essentially just ewaste.
I'm really amazed by your dedication to this, I love it ! I kinda do that myself, like bending pins back to their normal state, on CPUs and motherboards, but without this equipment, no microscope or lens It's hard, but it's just really satisfying to brought hardware back to life ! :D
Glad to see that repairing the broken pad and soldering the final resistor wasn't required to ressurect the CPU! I'd be a bit worried about soldering to the side with the via after scraping away the fiberglass, as the copper underneath might not be part of the same electrical net compared to the via, and soldering to the tiny 80 um via without bridging to the pad is way outside my skills.
I repair vintage computers so I've done work like this. And it's super hard and annoying - so well done! I forget that I could use these skills on new parts - but I think I'll leave my own fully working modern PC alone for now! Love the videos!
I suspect the ideal equipment to attempt a connection to that damaged SMD pad would be one of the machines they use/used for attaching gold bond wires to old IC dies; the wires are extremely fine and the device includes movement stages to precisely position the tool to attach to the correct point, and from there you could bond the wire to the other end of the SMD resistor by mounting it at a slight angle so it doesn't get in the way of the bond wire. Sam Zeloof (who you may be familiar with for his home grown IC experiments posted here on youtube) has a working vintage/manual version of such a machine. If you encounter any stability or behaviour issues with the CPU with the SMD missing, you might want to try contacting him to see if he can use his equipment to reattach a bond wire to the package!
i just feels fun when you can actually see the results by looking through the descriptions, however its still a nice touch to be lbe to get into a 12900k giveaway, these things are priced at 1000 bucks at my place for some reason lol
I’m pleasantly surprised that it worked with that missing smd. I’m great job on rescuing it and showing others how to! I’d love to get my hands on it, been trying to save up for a much faster cpu for awhile now for running my build I had as a kid in pcem. My old ivy bridge based stuff just isn’t up to the task. Got everything I need for my new build other than cpu and motherboard at this point.
Only just started watching the video, but it's always fun to watch people fixing these small parts on electronics. Seems almost impossible, yet people still manage to do it.
Wow, awesome job! Really surprised it worked. Had a 9900k before with missing smd from the back that we tried to repair this way and never got it to boot.
Thanks for doing this, most people throw away any piece of equipment not working properly, so it's nice to see some information on how to repair what most people see as pure wizardry.
I didn't thought that the 12900k could post with a damaged pad conected to an under surface layer but hey that was a pretty decent soldering. Always happy to see dead hardware coming back to life
Clutch pencil "Clutch Pencils for 2mm Leads are designed to provide a superior grip and feel to the designer while at the same time maximizing the use of the lead within. Regular wood case pencils can no longer be held comfortably in the hand once they have been sharpened down to a short length." A hypodermic needle works well to.
Can't help but wonder how can one managed to do a damage on SMD. And I don't think a drop would make this kind of damage. But what's even more crazy is that you managed to get it working again even when you don't have extreme micro soldering equipment and it still can boost. Massive respect
As far as the AMD CPU is concerned, I remember an older LinusTechTips video where Linus used the pins off of a donor chip and put them into the motherboard's socket where the pins were missing. It's maybe not the best fix in terms of quality but it's easy for people who don't have access to a ton of soldering equipment. Great video as always!
Great job on the 12900k and I hope the missing smds doesn't reflect on the lifespan of the chip. I'm waiting with great anticipation for the next repair videos.

Why ? *All Intel CPU's, are already e-waste !*
Intel was, is, and will ever be CRAP !

Love how technical these videos are. If i just imagine soldering these tiny components, i would totaly mess it up pretty sure.
Always nice to see something broken repaired rather than just tossed out. Good job.
You will own nothing
And this is why it's okay
Eat ze bugs
Live in ze pod
It's always great seeing you fix parts like these damaged CPUs or flooded components, instead of them ending up in a pile of e-waste
It is a bit surprising to see the CPU working fine with an MLCC missing, although missing a resistor is a no-go.
It's truly amazing how something so small, like the SMDs, can brick a CPU. Great work!
Yes, still want to dig deeper in what SMDs really do in CPUs, and can a CPU survive and working properly with a part or some SMD missing?
@@averyoldTH-camuser yes it can. I knocked off one during 4690K delid and it worked completly fine
I wonder what that resistor's function is if the system seems to work without it. Anyways, great job on the repair of the other two. Working with such small SMDs can be a pain.
Great video and thanks for your generosity in running this giveaway Roman! I'm sure that your community greatly appreciates it!
So interesting that it worked without that smd in the circuit. The long term reliability of the cpu will definitely be an interesting study

Wow, never even heard of CPUs getting repaired. This is cool. And thank you for giving this 12900K away.

would 100% recommend to get a hot air station, it makes soldering smd components so much easier!

nice, wasn't really expecting it to work after that update about your soldering iron tip.
Repairing a CPU is awesome! Hope you can make more videos like these
Nice work :) Since you weren’t sure of the proper name, the type of pencil you can use to straighten pins is called a “mechanical pencil”.
Great Job repairing this SMDs! Quite strange these stuffs knocked off.
Very cool to see it go back to life and even perform ok on Cinebench. Good job!
