Alex, you just reminded me my childhood. I think all the mothers have this ability build in their DNA's. My mother was the same she was throwing the slipper and it was acting like a guided missile, you run you turn the corner and the slipper does the same and there was no way she misses, always bull's eye. So when i was naughty the first think i did at that time was to hide the slippers, but it was not enough slippers would come to her :)). Once i tought that my mother was a trained assasin. :)) Anyway it was the best time of my life, no problem, no responsibility, been young (you felt immortal and invincible) all day fun and games. it is almost 50 years past
I will never do what you do, but love to watch you and your comments, your mother and her slipper. But in this case where you give a perspective of the penny to what you are doing just reinforces the hand coordination you have. Love this and I am in awe.
I use to watch Joy of Painting with Bob Ross as my night relax routine. Now it has been replaced by Hit with a slipper with NorthridgeFix. Thank you for all your great content!
Hey Alex from Romania. Back in my service days, whenever I came across bent pins, I used either an 0.5 or 0.7 pencil (the kind that works with cores obviously) or a ball point pen. These days, with these pitches, an 0.5 should be more then adequate. Reduces the chance of the tool slipping and sending the pin to the 9’th dimension. Try it, see how it works.
Soldering pins on a CPU is never easy. Especially when considering the pins you're soldering are interior. As always, very well done. You make it look easy.
I’ve been watching your videos (on a different channel) for a few years now and genuinely just wanted to thank you for everything! You have taught me how to micro solder and really appreciate the art of it, you’ve also inspired me to create my own TH-cam channel, thank you again for everything. I’ll always be a fan of your work and will get my flux from no other place but your shop. :)
The pins tip over because of the surface tension in the solder, when there is too much, the solder bead wil become convex, and the pin tips over. When you have too little the pin won't stick, but when you have a perfect amount, the solder wil be concave, and actually pull the pin into a perfect perpendicular position, just because of the surface tension.
i look forward to " we did such an amazing job" as if we handed him the scalpel ! As always I enjoy your videos and learn a little more each time. Thank you Alex.
I use an old soldering tip for something like this, which I sanded down and drilled a hole lengthwise, which has the diameter of a syringe needle into which a pin fits exactly. I soldered the syringe needle into the soldering tip with silver solder and then ground the needle so that about 3.5 mm of the needle still protruded from the soldering tip. then i built a tripod in which the soldering iron is clamped and can position and solder any pin precisely and perfectly.
Thank you very much you just showed me a easier way to repair a CPU. For years I have been using a hot plate And I don't have to tell you what might happen if you're not paying attention I know you know what I'm talking about Like I said thank you keep up the good work.
Excellent recovery from the "lost audio" good choice in music, you rock dude, I got this Cablemod adapter i'd should send you, maybe a resoder job?.. GREAT! channel Alex, interesting field
I always say to put a simple Lavalier Microphone next to the HDMI cable on top of microscope camera for a backup and btw transmitter and receiver has a led diode and on display to show you when the battery is near empty but backup will not harm.
Here's an idea. They make all kinds of power plugins, and you solder well. And batteries are generally 1.5 volts each. So if you have 2 batteries that's 3 volts. So you buy a 3 volt battery power supply, cut the end connector off. Solder it into you audio thingy and no more batteries needed. or if you want to get fancy you could install a small usb plugin by gluing one in and wiring it up. Then buy the correct power voltage plugin with that usb on the end of cord and that's it. But I think just wiring it directly would be easier and look better. But no more batteries is the main thing. And if you happen to be a environmental person that's less toxic waste.
Why am I not watching 'SecureTeam', 'Slapped Ham', 'The Why Files', 'ChubbyEmu', 'Final Affliction', 'Unexplained Mysteries', 'QuestTV', 'That Is Impossible', 'Bedtime Stories,' 'JW TV', 'Lex Fridman', 'FindingUFO', or 'Beard Meets Food' right now ???? because Alex and the Northridge-Fix Channel 'Rocks'.....lol But I wouldn't tell my friends...they wouldn't understand...lol Seeing broken CPU pins almost brings tears to my eyes..and it has ANGST and HORROR mixed in with it. That's REAL-LIFE Entertainment, mixed in with Science, Educated Guess-work and The Art of Solder !!! It's hard to top that... lol I love the 'Slipper' humour too...
Tricky fix but well sorted. Yes I agree about the audio problem. We use the same Sennheiser devices for video filming and they just stop the audio with no audible warning !! Battery lights are not good enough - TAKE NOTE SENNHEISER WE NEED AUDIBLE ALERT !!!! 🎵🎵🎵
I'm surprised either you or Big Boss doesn't also try to insert the repaired CPUs into a donor motherboard to check pins are adequately realigned? Maybe you do that.
I fix bent pins with the ink tube from a pen, but soldering new pins on can't be fun, especially with fat stubby fingers. Edit: this was back during the am2, am2+ and am3 cpus, I haven't tried fixing pins on the newer cpus, they seem like they're even smaller pins.
You'd think by now people would know to be extra careful with a CPU. But, they drop it when trying to install or set the CPU down and drop a screwdriver on it or something. All dumb stuff that is easy to avoid.
Alot of these reasons are stuck thermal paste on the heatsink. When you go to pull the heatsink, the cpu is cold welded to the heatsink, so when you pull, it forces the cpu from the socket and usually falls from the heatsink. This is where education of twisting the heatsink should be advised, but some newer boards now you can't twist the heatsink unfortunately because they are mounted with through holes.
alex, this might be a great opportunity to develop a microscopic hot tweezer for jobs like these. it would eliminate the need to use hot air and as well as eliminate the neighbor pin knock out , while making it easier. just grab the hot tweezer and pick you damage pin to grab and replace. worth a thought.
Hi i need help with my laptop Seagate harddrive it's 😭not spinning and not working have data on it but I live in India how to get in touch with you.. need your help plz 😭😭
Mom slipper made you a man a decent person and to try to grow a backbone. You were lucky you had a choice between a slipper and wooden spoon. I didn't I got thrown at what was at hand and no it made me good person. Today it's abuse when you look angry at some snowflake.
i have seen many amatures do this with amd cpu´s in the past. but what on earth is thermal paste doing under the cpu and how did the person manage to break pins in the middle of all places.🤣
Don’t worry about the part with no audio. It was quite relaxing actually.
That's scientific fact lol
This is done with surgical precision, almost a piece of art. Wow.
Alex, you just reminded me my childhood. I think all the mothers have this ability build in their DNA's.

As in everything else, pratice makes perfect
During my childhood in Argentina my mom also threw slippers with 100% accuracy, would put a sniper to shame, even with me running. Good times.
FYI: This video was not sped up. This man is fast just like that

He said he prefers to do it this way.
you are a true master of your work.
Alex would definitely make a terrific surgeon with his superior hand eye co-ordination!
Soldering pins on a CPU is never easy. Especially when considering the pins you're soldering are interior. As always, very well done. You make it look easy.
Knowledge skills and experience come together with a steady hand and good eyesight. It's a winning combination.

A pleasure to watch as usual Alex.
The missing audio is Alex trying to sell us the new NF dot Butter Knife for CPU pin repair.... Same day Shipping!.... Quality work as always Alex!
Your work is astonishing.
I‘m addicted to your videos. Thanks for teaching us your knowledge. Greetings from Germany

Would like to see you putting those CPUs into a Socket after you fixed them. :-)

You make it look so easy Alex good hand skills
Excellent recovery from the "lost audio" good choice in music, you rock dude, I got this Cablemod adapter i'd should send you, maybe a resoder job?.. GREAT! channel Alex, interesting field
Awesome work Alex. I got stressed out just watching you solder those pins on haha.
Haha bad boy, that was a nice touch!
Love the videos, I've learned alot from you.
Good job bro i dont miss your videos Greedings from Greece!!
I always say to put a simple Lavalier Microphone next to the HDMI cable on top of microscope camera for a backup and btw transmitter and receiver has a led diode and on display to show you when the battery is near empty but backup will not harm.
Haha, you made me have a good laugh with you mom's slippers making a turn at 90 degrees😂
If you have no tools, there is no craft.
Great job, like always.
Greetings from Serbia.
Good to see you greetings from poland

And if you happen to be a environmental person that's less toxic waste.
You're lucky with just a slipper, or even a wooden spoon. In my country, my mother's generation used rolling pins.
Why am I not watching 'SecureTeam', 'Slapped Ham', 'The Why Files', 'ChubbyEmu', 'Final Affliction', 'Unexplained Mysteries', 'QuestTV', 'That Is Impossible', 'Bedtime Stories,' 'JW TV', 'Lex Fridman', 'FindingUFO', or 'Beard Meets Food' right now ????
because Alex and the Northridge-Fix Channel 'Rocks'.....lol But I wouldn't tell my friends...they wouldn't understand...lol Seeing broken CPU pins almost brings tears to my eyes..and it has ANGST and HORROR mixed in with it. That's REAL-LIFE Entertainment, mixed in with Science, Educated Guess-work and The Art of Solder !!! It's hard to top that... lol I love the 'Slipper' humour too...
He makes it look so easy.
Like always your jobs are amazing 👏👏👏👏
at first i thought the chip was broken but it was just a hair 😂...tnx Alex, nice instrumental and great microscopic work ❤
10:56 WOW! Those pins really moved! For 1 second I though that he was not going to make it...
It would be nice to be some hot tweezer of the size of that high precision tweezer
Awesome job alax👊👊🤗
you make it look easy. great job
Your a champ
I love your vids. Shout out to big boss.
You're a magician mate
The best soldering guy in the hole America 😮 love your work man so professional I will call soon 👍 I have some work too
Tricky fix but well sorted. Yes I agree about the audio problem. We use the same Sennheiser devices for video filming and they just stop the audio with no audible warning !! Battery lights are not good enough - TAKE NOTE SENNHEISER WE NEED AUDIBLE ALERT !!!! 🎵🎵🎵
Excellent job, as always
I love your sense of humour, very funny. You need need that in your line of work. Kudo's.
What you need is a audio monitor :)
Or a mixer, where you can see the levels 👌
I'm surprised either you or Big Boss doesn't also try to insert the repaired CPUs into a donor motherboard to check pins are adequately realigned? Maybe you do that.
Great video your expertise is amazing
Next time he fits a Cpu, don't use a hammer 🤣 great job, sir 👍 your mother had a heat seeking sliper🤣
What is a sliper?
@@adiposerex5150 slip on house shoes, favoured by mother's around the world for a quick wack on an unruly child.
For me it was mostly metal spoon, broom was mom's favorite
This was a real nail biter. Good job.
Good job mate 👍
Just what the hell are people doing with their CPU's? its something you handle so rarely that I just don't get it.
great video like every time! what does you use to clean the tip? a sponge or brass wool or something else???
I fix bent pins with the ink tube from a pen, but soldering new pins on can't be fun, especially with fat stubby fingers.
Edit: this was back during the am2, am2+ and am3 cpus, I haven't tried fixing pins on the newer cpus, they seem like they're even smaller pins.
Wow, just wow! How many times in the beginning did you knock more pins off when soldering one on?
How on earth do people bend CPU pins??? They must be using a hammer
LoL 😂 good question
You'd think by now people would know to be extra careful with a CPU. But, they drop it when trying to install or set the CPU down and drop a screwdriver on it or something. All dumb stuff that is easy to avoid.
I suspect someone trying to force push that ryzen into Am2/3 socket...
Alot of these reasons are stuck thermal paste on the heatsink. When you go to pull the heatsink, the cpu is cold welded to the heatsink, so when you pull, it forces the cpu from the socket and usually falls from the heatsink. This is where education of twisting the heatsink should be advised, but some newer boards now you can't twist the heatsink unfortunately because they are mounted with through holes.
Out of curiosity: Will It be possible to use the hot tweezers for this repair?
Good have you back in TH-cam. Yay now Watching
Excellent job sir
I know how small these pins are.. But this fixing is just crazy to begin with.
This was really relaxing
Better than factory ,I thought by the title that the CPU was hit with a slipper!
Northridge can threadrippers be repaired?
Love how simple you make it look, because the next 10000 of us would make a mess of that.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO DO A REPAIR OF THIS CALIBER??
😂😂I can relate to that slipper straight from NASA testicle department and Mothers are those pro slippers drone pilots.
alex, this might be a great opportunity to develop a microscopic hot tweezer for jobs like these. it would eliminate the need to use hot air and as well as eliminate the neighbor pin knock out , while making it easier. just grab the hot tweezer and pick you damage pin to grab and replace. worth a thought.
The bgm was actually more relaxing. you should use it more often.
Hi i need help with my laptop Seagate harddrive it's 😭not spinning and not working have data on it but I live in India how to get in touch with you.. need your help plz 😭😭
18:59 Some good life advice! :)
Ahh, the chancla, a classic mom move.
would u allow drop shipping
Came in for repair.
I am always amazed at how well some customers murder their items but it's good business 😂
Do you ever get in motherboards with bent or missing pins?
one wrong move its gonna be messy., good job alex
how much do you charge sir for 1 pin
Never broken or bent a pin in my life of building PC's. Even if the CPUs removed from the socket buy the cooler it self. What are these guys doing.
Do you test the CPUs before you send them back to the customer?
Thats not the job, the customers asked for damaged pins to be fixed or replaced. Regardless if the CPU is dead or not he did the job as requested.
I also know the flying slipper 😂😂😂
So much spinning my eyes hurts 😂
La chancla is feared everywhere
I'd take the slipper please... more insulting, less painful, and a bit funny :)
Mom slipper made you a man a decent person and to try to grow a backbone. You were lucky you had a choice between a slipper and wooden spoon. I didn't I got thrown at what was at hand and no it made me good person. Today it's abuse when you look angry at some snowflake.
All mothers have that skill. 😁
At 19:30 its same to Pakistani culture two
Not TWO, but TOO!
Μy Greek Mama was experr on both,Alex
Kinda nice being quiet without that annoying guy talking all the time! (Kidding)
pins on cpu...or springs on sockets no mather ,they destroy it😂😂😂
Dr Alex.
Nice techique
👍🔥🔥👍
i have seen many amatures do this with amd cpu´s in the past. but what on earth is thermal paste doing under the cpu and how did the person manage to break pins in the middle of all places.🤣
His editing skills is improving (Boomer low battery 😅)
nice
👍
only Asians know this slipper thing!😁😁
