  • Got bent Ryzen pins on your 1000, 2000 or 3000 Series CPU? Well today's ultimate how to guide will show you how you can have control over bending back the PGA Pins (to near perfect straight levels). This method involves using a mini screw driver (which I believe is the 1.4mm drive). And I show you how to take your time, be patient, and just fit that Ryzen CPU back into the X570 socket (or b450 or a320 or whatever mobo Ryzen motherboard you have :P) and boot it up and have happy days ago!

    Also another tip before removing the cooler on the amd, run a light stresstest, the thermal paste will be softer, and cooler will be easier to remove.

      Ita a good idea to do this if you can. I get a TON of recycled computers and strip them down. I hate AMD CPUs because of how easily they get damaged. I just dont have the time or luxury to run stress tests on the stuff I get. Wish AMD would give up the PGA design and move to LGA.

      I actually did this yesterday, not even a stress test but played borderlands 3 for several hours before taking my 3600 out for new 3900x, even with it definitely warmed up and breaking the paste CPU still stuck to cooler xD, and bent 5 pins, ran a razer blade down the rows of pins and BAM fixed

    A credit card is really great to get the rows to line up. They fit perfect between the pins and move a whole row at once, really good for that final touch and get them perfect. Also the pins fit inside the tip of a mechanical pencil with no lead good 360 control if your careful. Love the TYC!

    I also had a i7-6700K someone gave me for free when they bought parts from me. The guy had inserted it backwards into the board. The board socket was toast but I got the 6700K to work. I had to literally bend a corner of the CPU since it's LGA. Once I straightened it out, it worked perfectly. Pretty crazy what CPU's can survive.

    I've been down this road, things I've learned. Do not use the pre-applied paste on AMD supplied coolers, wipe it off and apply something else. It can be like super glue hard to remove, I had room to twist and pull, made no difference, it wasn't moving. Ended up bending many pins on my R 2600 as it came out of the socket with the cooler. Bent most of them back, but 4 broke off completely after trying to straighten. Thought I was screwed, looked for CPU pin wiring diagrams (no luck there), decided to reinstall and give it a go, works perfect, even with 4 broken pins. Used a magnifying glass and if you have the right size mechanical pencil, use the empty tip. And nice work with that screwdriver! When you get older and lose your eyesight that becomes much more difficult.

    I had a Phenom II 555 BE, It had several pins broken off and some bent. I straightened the pin using some solid but thin tweezers. What I did was passed the two tweezers hands around some 8-10 pins on the x-axis and then repeated on the y-axis. Worked like a charm. I used this CPU unlocked to X4 B55 for 3 or 4 years. The broken pins were either blank or extra ground pins. Amd is smart enough to put less important pins, the ground ones and server use only pins on the outer rim of the cpu.
    That's my experience.
    If you want I could even send you the Phenom for inspection.

    I like to use sowing pins for straightening out PGAs. The ones I have here fit perfectly between the bases of the bent pin and its unbent neighbour. I push it through for a couple of mms, then slowly raise the sowing pin from the substrate. Because the sowing pin is guided by multiple straight pins in the two rows alongside it, this will usually put the bent pin back about 80-90% to its original position, at most needing small adjustments to fit back into the socket.

    I just bent some pins on a brand new Ryzen 5 3600 like some kind of moron, and this was the most useful guide I found for getting them back into shape. It boots! Thank you!! 😁

    I had the same nightmare with my 3900x (stuck to the stock cooler), got lucky and only had to bend 2 pins back. I used a few different knife blades and flat blade screw drivers, since it's nice and easy to get between the rows while stiff enough to apply pressure with. Once you get the pins straight enough to drop in the socket takes care of the rest, hardest part is keeping your hands steady when the cost of replacement and lack of availability is hanging over your head

    CPUs are much tougher than people give credit for. Bending pins back shouldn't be a problem. This is a good method, thanks Bryan.

    Brian, I use a very thin knife blade, thereby sliding the blade in a whole row horizontally. It makes it easier to align and straighten with less chance of over bend

    Thank you for the great Video. I was able to save my ryzen 3600. 1 pin was bent into into the cpu almost 90°. I Used a needle and for everyone a tipp to see it better. Use your phone camera. There you can really see if you place it as the edge of your table, 30-40 cm away with zoom.
    Thank you again. Made my day

    I remember two pins falling off my old Athlon XP 2600+ trying to straighten them. Just dropped the pins into the correct socket holes and applying more pressure on the CPU before locking it in. Always worked.
    Wonder if it would work on a more modern AMD CPU ?
    Can't see why not.

  • @kztech1319
    @kztech1319 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also, if that case of the CPU still doesn't go in at one corner despite you tried your best to bend the pins straight, sometimes instead of inspecting it all over again, trying to (very, very gently) fit that corner into the socket first will get it to fit in, and you just tighten the socket to completely bend the pin back

  • @kenfnord6553
    @kenfnord6553 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great vid. One little suggestion. If you have one or a friend, try putting a notch little ways up length of screwdriver. That way you have more control over the pin not sliding off the rounded edge, hope you get what I meant. I'd use a chisle(tiny and sharp(fingers beware)) to make notch, Dremel tool only if your really good at it. Not surprised they don't make a real tool for this. Keep on keepin on.

    Use a craft knife (Stanley blade) you can bend the pins back inline with the rest as you work and they are so precise and you don’t use a lot of pressure to bend them so it’s nice and gentle

    Best method is to use a mechanical pencil with a long metal lead tube tip, remove lead, put the pin in the tip, and use the whole pencil to slowly bend the pin back. Been doing this since the athlon/phenom days. In fact I have a pentel drafting pencil I keep around specifically for cpu pins.

  • @lapptech
    @lapptech 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Back in the mid-90's we used a soldering iron with a thin hollow tip on semi-low temp for bending back pins, the heat made them less prone to break and ruin the cpu. The tip was so small that it would fit around a pin.

  • @BitterCynical
    @BitterCynical 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the cooler is kind of glued onto the CPU with thermal paste I usually do a twist slide without pulling at all. But that only works if there's enough free space on the motherboard next to the socket.
    And this is probably only a problem with fairly fresh paste and not old dried out stuff because fresh paste is kind of like a thick liquid and liquids get used in hydraulics, unlike air a liquid won't expand much at all in a vacuum which you're creating when pulling on the cooler. If there's only enough room to pull the cooler off then the safest way should be by slowly trying to tip it over on one side/corner so the paste can start breaking apart on the other side.

  • @sigimatte3576
    @sigimatte3576 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought an open box CPU (used warehouse deals) that was about $100 off, but failed to mention bent pins, but it had three or four bent with one bent severely down at 90 degrees. I thought about sending it back, but then decided to give it a try.
    In the old days we used credit cards, but the Ryzen's pins are too close together to fit a card in between them and for the 90 degree flat pin I used a safety pin because the better ones are made of spring steel and the only way to get in between the substrate and the pin is with the sharp point of a sewing needle or safety pin (the safety pin has a built in handle unlike a sewing needle so it's easier to grip near the coil). I place the cpu upside down in a soft edge (plastic or rubber type insert grips) vise so it's secure but not so tight it gets damaged.
    Barely put the needle point past the pin in so it falls away while coming up thus keeping you from over-bending the pin the other direction like we see several times with the screw driver - as that weakens the pin going back and forth. As you rock the needle down below the edge of the cpu like a teeter totter at the nearest edge the pin comes up off the substrate. It's better to do just a little at a time to keep from going too far or breaking it off. Rock with the spring steel pin gives you power and leverage without too much force and only having the tip slightly in keeps you from over bending as well. Then you re-position and do it again just barely putting the needle past the pin so you are only moving the pin slightly with each rocking motion. I find I have much more precise control using the rocking method over free hand and thus I'm not constantly having to correct the pin from over bending like we see in this video - lessening the chance of breakage.
