bent pin led to disaster :(

i bent the pins on the corner of my 5950x processor. i tried fixing it but ended up breaking 2 pins .... im soo lucky its just the memory B pins.... i lost my dual channel only 2 slots work now. im glad it still works anyone know if its possible to somehow fix this?

 

RMA, play stupid

 

One of my friends gave me his 2600x that he bent the pins on. 3 were broken basically. I took 3 pins off an old sempron cpu, and put them in the cpu socket, carefully put the 2600x in, and bam dual channel worked again.

Before only A channel worked and would see 16gb but b channel was 100% dead. Its not ideal but it does work.

 

yeah i just ordered some pins.. i hope i could get the channel's working again

 

im waiting on their reply

 

clever.

 

LOL worked like a charm@! got my dual channel back.. omg got the pins... looked smaller than expected .. was difficult getting into the hole but i got it in and works flawlessly

 

Hell yes dude! That is awesome!!!!
Glad it worked.
