- It's not a very nice feeling if you happen to discover your processor has a few bent pins, stopping it from working, or even fitting in the motherboard. Luckily it doesn't mean you have to throw it away or buy a replacement because with the help of a few household objects, you may just be able to rescue it.
Today we're fixing up and old AMD Athlon CPU that's fallen victim to some mishandling.
Thanks for watching :) - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Blood doesn't work as a decent thermal paste. I died laughing 😂😂😂😂
I will use my blood for my cpu 😎😂
It would smell like trash
but.... there is only one way to find out
Jakats in the reality I think that the water in the blood would evaporate and the top of the cpu will be dirty
True but it might work.
My brother bought an FX-9590 from cex last year, the chip worked but it would only let his pc utilise 3.25gb of ram with 8gb installed which was baffling at the time but after a quick google search it was clear the issue had to be a bent pin, we removed the cpu from its socket and sure enough there it was, we fixed the pin using an old blade to ease it back into place, it wasnt tough but it was scary doing it for the first time, you just have be gentle.
H4WK69 from where...? It's CeX.

Why did I laugh at this?

A lot of Coffee
coffee makes that, i experience same when i have drunk bit too much coffee in short time
jens puttiger Maybe Intel invited him to a Coffee Lake
No budgies, no seagulls Is this even RGinHD? :o

I see you're finally uploading videos everyday. Thanks man! Your videos are such a relaxation for me.
Do continue this :)
use a bank card it has the right width
bank card is too thick for an am3 cpu from my experience, razor blades work well.
I use a 1mm thick flathead screwdriver bit. I have a ryzen 1200 that was knocked onto the floor by the wind while I was putting in a ryzen 2600, and I didn't want to risk a credit card breaking the pins by being too thick.
shiny missingno flathead is good for when they need recovering, then the razor blade is to fix them properly
riog1me #r33squad I get where you're coming from, these ones were completely bent over to the next row of pins, so I had to go underneath them and pull up to get them from touching the other side.
yea, that's what happened to mine. irritating things to fix, i swear.
lovely. I am a consistent viewer and thoroughly enjoy your videos
Watched this video a few days ago and now it saved my motherboard. Thank you very much!
Made the mistake of lifting up when trying to fix two bent pins on an old Anthlon II x2 245 and ripped them out, but now that I know this, at the least I can save the next CPU I manage to salvage from the clutches of bent pins. Thanks man!
I once bought a used FX6350 that arrived with a couple of bent pins. It probably happened during shipping, as it was not packaged very good. But It was easy enough to bend the pins back. Used that CPU for a few years before I got my ryzen 1700 system last year.
I've once broke 2 pin of an Intel (pen4?) CPU and it works still fine without those two... I guess I've lucky enough that those pins are GND or "reserved for future use" so it didn't affect anything
Lol. I did the same with my Pentium III when I was 9 xD
SandPox Only AMD processors have the Pins. My Pentium 4 has no pins on it
Giraffe or maybe not i think yea the old intel processes where pga i think
Giraffe i have 2 pentium 4 cpu and but are with pins
Giraffe your processor is a newer one a bit
if you do happen to rip a pin off do not worry! just continue to straighten the pins and when it comes to socketing the cpu drop the yanked off pin into the correct pin hole, should be enough pressure from the rest of the cpu pins to make a solid connection !
My hands started to shake when your hands where shaking
Bent pins on the motherboard are a bit more tricky.
dcikaruga they are a fucking nightmare
Ended up buying a new S775 Motherboard because of that once, always fit you CPU in in vertically, not horizontally, that was the lesson I learnt!!!!!

Nice video anyway mate! Keep up the awesome work fellow Brit! ;)
Oh man, I've had some REALLY bad bent pins... One time I had an original Pentium that was down a couch and the pins were mostly all FLAT. Spent 2 hours straightening them, and it worked! It's kindof therapeutic to listen to music and straighten pins
Stop the pin abuse 2018 😭
pinlivesmatter
I want to join the Pin Too movement.
no
Third world problems, no water. First world problems, bent CPU pins
Comrade Dennis nice profile icon
Stalin approved! :)
Great video. I have only ever had the pleasure of dealing with this one time on an old athlon. Perhaps you could do an episode on delidding and replacing the terrible TIM on a really old Intel CPU to improve thermal headroom.
Excellent way to straighten those bent pins
Thank you for letting me know how to fix bent pins cuz i have a anthlon cpu from my cousin that was bent and couldnt fit the motherboard so yeah thnx for that im tried that later :)
Had my fair share of needing too do this myself as well, my cousin when he bought a new motherboard ripped the cpu up with the cpu cooler, & when he tried installing it he bent pins as he didn't dare take off the processor from the cooler (a phenom II x4 965 3.4 ghz)
The first thing i did was stand over his bed with an old bunch of random advertising papers & fliers that was about too be burnt up, & pinged the processor off into the bed on the fliers with a tap from the screwdriver, unbent the pins for about 40 minutes & then put it together.
(Old one failed randomly one day for him, was a cheap am3 motherboard that took 125w cpu's at best so not surprising really.)
Also got a pc that a kid tried too destroy in hopes of getting a new pc from his mom.
(Yeah it didn't work.)
(Destroyed motherboard but the rest worked fine & i was allowed too keep the parts from the rest of the system, case,ram,powersupply which i sold too another guy,gpu, harddrives.
(Had sold him a 400w powersupply & my Sapphire HD 5770 lite 1 gb along with moving a harddrive from one of his moms old pc's too that one a 320 gb drive.)
(2x 6 pins on it & decent quality for the time & still a solid unit imo silverpower 400w 80 plus bronze based on seasonic S12 design.)
An Athlon II x3 445 3.1 ghz which i unlocked too a quad core cpu.
(Screws over temperature sensors on the cores which i told him about that it wasn't anything too worry about unless the processor is stuck at 800 mhz which it wasn't.)
(Originally a dual core athlon in the system which i think he threw away for some reason as well.)
I always use the inner tip of a mechanical pencil, .7mm i believe. It allows more precise movement of the pin while also being soft plastic as to not put a lot of force against the rest of the pins.
Very helpful video :-D
Use something like a flashlight to shine light through the pins from the side, it makes bend or slightly bent pins stand out pretty clearly. This method also works for LGA sockets as well.
I recently bought an outlet H110 Gigabyte Motheroad for 50 polish zloty with bent pins, when New Motheroad is about 200 zloty. Fixed it and have a fully functioning Motheroad now but of course that was a brave operation
PLN
exactly
Zloty is cool name, Euro sounds like lady-boy currency.
1:42 when you did just drink 2 energy drink before getting to work xD.I really like how funny and very detailed are your videos,and that's why you get more subs every day. :)
The other day, I got the my 2700x to fit on the motherboard, mounted the cooler and everything until the computer just refused to boot. LED on the motherboard wouldn't light up. I then proceed to spend an hour checking the motherboard, PSU, Ram, etc. until there was nothing but the CPU to check and my heart skipped a beat when I noticed there are 3 CPU pins in a corner that got bent. I managed to bend them back, using a toothpick, and fit it in the motherboard socket. The moment it booted up I wept.
This video unintentionally gave me PTSD, back in '09 I was super excited to install my newly aquired Athlon 64 x2 6000+ and in my haste I bent a fuck load of pins :( I figured I'd just chucked silly amounts on money down the drain but a few hours of fiddling later and I managed to get into the socket :D
Hopefully this video will help people that were in my situation.
I'd love to opt for an AMD CPU in my next build but am rather apprehensive due to the seemingly common problem of bent pins on the PGA socketing system. I've been a little clumsy in the past inserting Intel processors and yet have never had any issues.
Where's your RandomSeagullinHD at m8 ?
seagull moved on to 4k, sorry
you can use the plastic part of a electric cable without the copper inside, worked like a charm on my phenom x6
Yoo duude you helped me sooo mush i was soo worryed my cpu is broken thank you
Good job filming it with your 4th hand, the 3rd is for your jewellers lens
I fixed my Athlon64 3000+ back in the day and still works.
I had to solder three of them with hard telephone cable.
Very good vids!!
Some of the worst rigs I've encountered as regards bent pins have been business PC's based on old Intel Pentium 4's and thermal pads. They'd sat in storage for a very long time and the pads had all literally set like concrete. However a quick and fairly easy remedy was to simply turn the machines on for a few minutes in order to warm up/expand what was left of the pad, switch off, then quickly and gently twist the cooler back and forth to help loosen things up some more. And it didn't take long at all for some of those Pentium 4 CPU's to warm up..
Had to do this exact thing today on a A10-7800 because it stuck to the heatsink of the dead cooler and when it was removed it fell into the computer case. Now waiting on the new CPU cooler to see if it worked well but it fitted back into the motherboard socket without any problems so I'm very hopeful.
From my experience i found that it's best to use a plastic credit card. Sliding and aligning pins properly is so easy :)
idk what it is but i cant stop watching RGHDs videos. Maybe because hes actually a consumer unlike youtubers like linus.
Had to fix a Phenom x6's pins yesterday, there were 90 degree bends on some of them
Mechanical Pencils FTW!
F2F Tech
HEY IT'S THE GPU GUY!
I used the packaging on medicine tablets to unbent the pins on an AMD Athlon x2 8 year ago.
There is a tool used by people who repair music boxes, it is a fine steel tube. You can get something similar online, used for removing electronic components.
I've used a wire wrap tool to straighten individual CPU pins before.
I actually used a dull knife to straighten the pins on my A8-3870k APU. No magnifying glass required.
I remember fixing my old Pentium 4's, I'm glad I have my G3220 where the pins are on the motherboard.
I swear that board is a foxconn a74ml-k. I used one of those in my first pc build ever and it's been solid for the past 8 years.
Just recently i bent some of the pins on my ryzen 7 1700 while swapping the cooler, somehow the crap included thermal paste glued it to de IHS, the cpu came off the socket even with the retention arm down, bending some pins on the way out because i tried to remove it with a twisting motion. The pins on ryzen are even smaller than the ones on the video, needless to say i was a very scared when bending them back in place, i used some precision tools that are meant for soldering, luckily it was pretty easy to put all of them in place and it has been working fine since, but the fear of losing such an expensive component thanks to some crap thermal paste was real.
I swear by those mechanical pencils with the propelling pencil lead, slot it over the pin and move it as you need
ummm use a sewing needle to fix bent pins with some sort of magnification, grab each pin in the needle threading hole.
that would pull them though, I've never done this, but I random gaming just said not to pull them at all. Sounds like a good idea besides that though!
Perfect timing, my CPU just busted an hour ago.
It is very easy to fix the bent pins using a mechanical pencil, use the tip to insert each pin individually and bend gently to the original position. Had to deal with that situation some time ago.
While the pins are generally tougher on a PGA not to get bend easily with a slight bump, The problem with Ryzen is that its pins are thinner (and more malleable) than the old K8-10 socket CPUs and there's 1,331 of them clusetered together with a relatively tighter space between. it will be much harder fixing bent Ryzen pins in comparison.
Ehey ali a here **ali-a intro**
KanksuHub bass boosted
That thumbnail tho!!!!!
According to The Verge, those aren't tweezers. That is a cable tie.
Trouble is sometimes even if straightening the pins is done, the conection under the pins can be damaged and the CPU won't work.
Thank you
Use old computer case vard slot cower, it's perfect fit.
i use needle to lift the more bend pins straight-ish so i can fit the tool between the rows
I bought 1800x Ryzen for 20€.
Big portion of the pins were badly bend and 14 of then broken off.
I got all the pins straight with the method mentioned above and i replaced the 14 missing pins with a pins from old socket 478 celeron, it took few tries to wiggle the pins on the socket before i got the system working but it have run half a year ever since with 4ghz and 3200mhz cl14 ram without problems.
A tooth pick works better. If you run it down the rows it spaces them relatively well and if a few pins are particularly bent then you can use the tooth pick on the very tip of the pin with almost no pressure and coerce it back upright.
I've done this a few times over the years on AMD CPU's, but I'll never want to do it on an Intel board, as those are a true pain in the ass.
I always use a mechanical pencil.
You can slide the bent pin in the tube the "lead" would come out of and it fits perfect. lever it up and move on to the next one.
I found an extremely damaged Phenom processor at my father's school. I tried to repair it with a mechanical pencil, but there were too many missing pins in the end. Even though I straightened all the pins that were left, the thing would never work again because of the missing pins.
You can stick pins in the socket to make it a hybrid PGA/LGA
Step 1: buy a cpu with bent pins for very low price
Step 2: watch this video
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: profit
What if some pins are broken/ missing?
Do a build on the Am2+ Socket! I did one with an Opteron 1356 8gb ddr2 and a 1030 Phoenix and it is surprisingly decent for such and old platform.
I bought two LGA 1366 EVGA high end motherboards for $50 (worth around $350) fixed the pent pins, and they worked fine
If a pin at the very sid eof a processor is a tiny, TINY bit bent, does it matter?
Had that on my first PC Build ever! My Ryzen 5 1600X came with bent pins out of the box, needless to say I shit myself before me and my friend, an experienced PC builder fixed it with a razor blade
Did you try straightening pins with anappropriately thick/thin hypodermic needle? Apparently it's quite a good tool for the job.
Quit trying to justify your junk habit already.
>puts on gloves
>attaches ground to wrist
>grabs pliers
>lifts out CPU with traditional japanese handwriting style
>drops it
>all pins bent
Next video will be on this processor maybe....
"After *CLOSE* inspection..." just turning it over and you can see the mess of it😂😂
Yep it was pretty ruined haha
I heard of people using the end of a mechanical pencil to maneuver the pins.
Good job!
Only ever had to do it on old Athlon xp's, but the pins on those are huge!
if u break a pin u can use some of the wire out of a ethernet cable in the hole thn just wedge the cpu back on it make shure u cut it not to long or short tho but i had a cpu with 6 broke pins and figured that out the thing worked for another year n probably still does to this day but i replaced it eventually
Try using a propellant pencil, just remove the lead and put the pin into the end and straighten. They come sized 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 mm sizes so all CPU pins are covered. I think AMD were 0.5 mm. if they are too near the tha adjacent row you will have to use a sharp edge to open the gap then micro adjust with the pencil.
Fixing bent pins in an intel socket is way worse. I used a protractor to straighten AMD pins, it has a pizza cutter edge and is just slim enough to glide between the rows, unless it's bent horizontal, then a cocktail stick or sewing needle comes in handy.
Blood as thermal paste should try
I drilled a little block and straight the pins with the hole.
I did it myself with an old Athlon. 20 minutes or so gave me a working CPU.
haha, i have repaired dosens of motherboards with bent pins, some cpus from amd also. I have managed to fix most of them, i have really steady hands and sharp vision, helps a ton :)
I use an RS232 port in my main PC.
My z77 pins where bent but Mobo worked fine but I've noticed my temps where spiking on my non k i7 3770 and voltages where too high not too sure if those pins has such a important role
Does the socket re align the pins when inserted?
yeah it happened with my friend with the intel CPU the CPU was pulled off with the heat sink and almost 30% of pins was messed up it took me about 2 hours to fix it again
will the cpu have a *SLIGHTLY* lower clock speed becusae theres less pins?
Hey Random, would be cool to see a video on Alienware Steam Machines. Either the first gen or the second gen. I know the second gen have the option to use external gpus which could make 2 videos.
Also it would be cool to see it compared to a small itx 2200G build or something
Has he done a review on amd athlon x4 640
talk about fixing thermal paste in socket and pins
what about if my cpu socket pins on the motherbord were all bent from the plastic cover being put on wrong,and then i tried to bend every pin strait up because i didnt know what i was doing like the noob i am. most likely new bord for me
Try lga next. Now that is a real nightmare
We need the card slot cpus again, like the pentium 2!
television and cheese Pentium !!!s were made in Slot 1 up to 1GHz.
What if my pin is bent in the middle of it or in an "s" shape
Do a video on gt 1030 sli
anwar ul haq they cant be sli’d. With this new generation of cards, they only allowed it on the 1070 and higher. Windows 10 has a feature called a sync compute, if my memory recalls correctly that allowed any 2 GPU’s to be ran together. The problem is that very few games support this feature.
yes, they can. There is a hack for that.
Matthew Jacobs There is a driver that allows it to sli in dx12
Matthew Jacobs yo have to watch oztalkshwhe sli 1030's
Matthew Jacobs yo ist possible boi
you know what i dont get, why dont they use some kind of plastic mock-up of a socket to protects the pins on the cpu like when you get a new LGA motherboard but the fake socket just clips on too the cpu instead
easy, it's about saving money
same reason why AMD cpu's don't have integrated graphics aside from APU's, intel has garbage stock fans, and intel stopped soddering their cpu's after Sandy Bridge and instead use cheap paste/TIM
plus they do normally give you that plastic wrap the cpu comes in out of the box so you can keep that.
I'm pretty sure that I brought an fx6300 back by fixing the bent pins. I only say that I might have because I don't have a free PSU to test it.
Now do a video on how to remove thermal paste from between the pins
01:42 Oh no! An earthquake!
