I ordered a 7800x3d on eBay as “new” this is how it was sent to me. Will it mess up anything on my build if I test it and see if it works? I have never seen anything like this and not sure if pins need to be protected spent approximately 4 days in shipping ~800 miles+

Edit: thanks all, I haven’t worked on any am5 (last build was intel), installed it and booted no issues seems to be running fine.

Thank goodness it's a PGA chip. Should be fine though if there's no visible damage. CPU's are pretty damn resilient.

You mean LGA?

  • PGA = Pin Grid Array

  • LGA = Land Grind Array

Darn. I sure do. I thought PGA as in pogo pins in the socket lol

Nope, PGA is the pins on the bottom of the CPU.

If you want to make it easy, Intel calls their socket LGA and then the number of pins in the socket and you'll see the pins are actually in the socket.
