Ryzen 7 3700x CPU Broken Pin Repair. CPU Pins come in different sizes.. 

Youre absolutly right. I try to remember myself most every Video how tiny the pieces are.

Does this magnification make me look fat? No... it just magnifies your beauty baby. ☺

which is usually more common ? bent pins on CPUs or Sockets ?

I found credit card to be the best tool to straighten pins, if they are slightly bent.

@@DanMlayah I see more damaged sockets than cpus. But that is at least partially cause Intel has much more marketshare than amd. I'd also think tho it's speculation that ppl tend to have more success fixing bent cpu pins than socket pins. I see a lot of sockets where the customer made things worse trying to fix it himself. Whereas that's not as common on cpus. Bent cpu pins are much easier to test. If you can get into Windows and run a stress test for an hour with no issues they are *generally* fixed. Damaged sockets lead to more intermittent crashing and just weird bugginess that makes it harder to automate testing after repair. They are a lot more likely to end up back in the shop after a few weeks or months. I'm not entirely sure why this is, I suspect the mechanical aspect of how the sockets work on PGA versus lga. But it could well be due to the specific pins that are most often damaged. The amd chips tend to have damage around the edges and on pins involved in memory and data transfer. Damage to the Intel sockets tends to concentrate around the centre of the socket where the majority of pins are supplying power.

me neither

Same here, you learn something new everyday.

Yeah, there's also one near the center of the CPU at 7:32. Gotta freeze frame to see it. It looks like it would probably still fit in the socket though.

Scientist spotted

Of course he already fix it off the camera

@@Anthony_The_Chicken_Licker Scientist spotter spotted. Is spotting scientists also considered a science? P.S.: Not trying to offend. Just don’t take everything in the world too serious…

@@marcianzero_yt LOL.

When the CPU is locked with the retention lever, its pins are pushed agains the narrowing pins of the cpu socket: external-preview.redd.it/_AwW2TXbEVVwcnknD7lP9vHmLE_-rWF7neY4gXsHUuM.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=6b94af6e89a47801ddb820a6225729a7c01dca9b

I think it would be very difficult to achieve a precise cut on a pin so small

Yeah, Moore's law can't be applied anymore. Nowadays you can daily drive 10-15 years old computers without any issues at all. I use an 2011 Thinkpad x220.

@@madkvideo Moore's law seems to be picking up traction lately though. Who ever knew that consumers chips would be coming with 16 cores and 32 threads and clock up to 5.5ghz without any overclock?

intel cpu has no pin on the processor itself.everything was on the mainboard.

Unfortunately due to how dainty and tiny the pins are, repair is not easy at all unless your experienced.

@@overnightdelivery I did observe that he's using a microscope here, so I understand it not being super easy to do like through-hole soldering. Still though, the fact that it's feasible at all shocked me!

Hot tweezers can work. But it can go bad in ways the hot air doesn't. Hot air is def the best method if you have the proper tools and the steady hand to do it quickly. It stresses the CPU and the other pins less.

Other question is is the cpu usable for an 5900x? I want to try to make it itself last time i do that it was an lga socket pin

He said he doesn't have the time right now. He's considering limiting the number of orders the store will accept at once to reduce his work load and give him time to do workshops and stuff again. But it won't be any time particularly soon I suspect.
