cpu bent pin repaired on AMD x2 4400 in super macro HD

A quick video showing one of the pins that I bent back into place. This is common with AMD cpu's, if you do not take the heatsink off while it is still hot, the cpu will stick to it and force out of the socket. Thankfully my pc still works, I used a micro screwdriver (non-magnetic) to prop the pin back up, some people actually rip the pin out while removing the heatsink rendering the cpu unusable. The sound is pro scores and I added a cartoonr effect so it wasn't too boring! :) ps-raynox 250 is the lens im using

i had the EXACT problem you did. i pulled my heatsink off and the cpu came along with it. the socket was locked. i thought my cpu was done, until i fixed it with a flat head screwdriver. i have an Athlon X2 7750 BE

glad you fixed it! i was going to upgrade for a new pc but i see no purpose in doing so right now, something will really have to happen technology wise, i just can't' play games anymore and I don't really care if it takes 20 minutes to render my video, i'm in no rush. They better start getting their asses in gear! I want holographic shit dammit! lol

Nice close-up.

Bet you can't guess why I'm watching this...

I just spent $170 buying a new mother board to replace my bad one on my old rig. I haven't built a computer in years, so I forgot that when removing the HSF from the CPU, they need to be removed separately. Mine came out all in one piece. Worse yet, I then attempted to stick it in the new motherboard the same way...jamming it in there without releasing the arm. By the time I figured out I had to separate HSF and CPU, I'd bent 5 pins.

i feel your pain, and know exactaly what you mean! I hope you were able to fix yours, it really sucks to see that knowing you spent $xxx amount of money on the damn thing, it was almost an excuse for me to upgrade, but i fixed and it's still working. it's jsut to damn easy to forget about the ehating it up part after being satisfied with a pc after a few years, good luck and hope it works!

the other thing i wanted to say was, I made this video because I did read quite a few stories about bent pins but couldn't find any videos. I guess next time I will try to film the actual bending back of the pin, if you look close, you can see i bent the pin too far back the bent it back again and it almost broke off, somehow i just got lucky.

@ZackMcLeish13 same here but i fixed it with a credit card and a flat head screw driver

Holy shit you are very good. How did you did that?

i figured out if a pin is bent a good way lift it up was using a sowing needle, macinal pencil and a credit card to make sure it was in line with the other pins i had 3 bent pins now i have none :)

my pins on my phenom II 955 BE were bent out of box; 3 on the outside row. and when i tried to drop it in my sabertooth 990fx mobo it didnt fll in all the way and bent some more in the middle. i called AMD and they said they were gonna warranty it since there was only 3-5 bent ones, so well see how that goes. pisses me off tho that it came bent shipped in the first place- i should have looked at it before i tried to install.

well my cpu pentium 4 2.6ghz s478 bent in one corner... there is no pin so i can say that this cpu is s477 not s478 but it still works without one pin. dunno why.

took mine out and bent 4 ROWS of pins on a motherfucking phenom 1055t 6 core :( took 40 mins using a small hook tool and as credit card to realign the 30 odd pins, it works :)

same exact thing just happened to me the heat sink ripped out my cpu i almost started crying my face instantly started sweating balls when i looked at 2 bent pins. with luck i was able to repair them and my child is ok. thank you youtube!

My cpu had bent pins, i fixed them, but every now and again the system will just freeze, doesn't occur more than once in a blue moon and once when it crashed i had task manager open and it said cpu usage was at 100 percent.

Next time...we eat a heatsink
