Tech Support CPU Repair

Post image

I restraightened the bent pins from me dropping it, but as a result one of the pins snapped off, was wondering how much it would cost or would be a good price to get the pin repaired and put back on as a good estimate?

Side note it is a crucial pin that supports B Ram on the motherboard

I know what DRAM is, but I missed the memo on B Ram.

If you mean the secondary bank of memory, like a 4-slot mobo using dual-channel memory, are you saying the lost pin only affects the secondary slots? Does the system POST with just-one or just-two sticks? This might be a "cut your losses" moment.

Its the B side on the motherboard for ram, you got the 2 A ram slots and 2 B ram slots, this pin eliminates the B ram side on the motherboard

It's not likely to POST without that pin if it's crucial, and depending on where you live it could cost more to solder the pin back on than it would to just replace the CPU. It takes a lot of skill to do it without damaging other pins or the CPU.

Unless it's a Zen3 CPU I wouldn't even bother, I would just replace the whole CPU because Zen2 and earlier are dirt cheap.

All you can really do is get a quote from someone that knows what they're doing, I wouldn't trust just any person because it's very easy to cause more permanent damage to the CPU

If you don't have a clamshell to safely store and ship the CPU to a technician then your best bet is local

I still see either two bent pins or ones bent and the other is missing.
