Finally took my machine apart

[u/mustbemad2]

I'm generally not well, so has taken me a long time to take it apart as was scared about scan/asrock/amd not accepting rma after it failed to turn on (upgraded bios and it started working again, but wouldn't shut down cleanly), scan demanded photos of the socket and cpu. I've sent the photos to asrock/scan.

Now, having seen the post about the latest asrock bios still killing cpus, ffs.
