Well that says the computer store is dumb

 

Didn't you build it yourself?

Yes but they inspected it but JUst read the comment i just posted

 

The store can't fix it because it won't necessarily work. Personally, I've fixed bent pins on processors and on sockets and never had any issues.

 

Tell me you didn't pay $1200 for that...

 

CPUs are delicate, I myself have never bent a pin before (come on, these are zif sockets, they need no force for insertion or removal and it only fits one way??). If one does bend it can sometimes be straightened but if you have tried powering the machine on (which you have, and you weren't to know that the pin was bent so don't blame yourself too much if this happens) sometimes it can cause a short which will destroy the entire CPU. Alternately you might straighten the pin and find its absolutely fine.


Tell a lie, I snapped a pin clean off an MSP430G2553IN20. But that is a cheap 16 bit microcontroller in a 20 pin inline package and was most certainly not ZIF socketed its now soldered to a PCB where it still works just fine.

 

Had this issue after I cleaned out my comp once. Make sure the motherboards power cord is plugged in.

 

Wins in single threaded performance, rendering, and stuff like that.
In terms of actual gaming though the 6300 is better.

 

$900________

I put the cpu in how it said to put it in then people at the store be lookin at me like i did something wrong

 

Well then obviously you did something wrong, or far more unlikely is that it came bent, which I've never heard of happening.

[COLOR=#fffff]wtf is this you built a computer and ruined it and think you don't need antivirus I can't even[/COLOR]

 

I have great news everyone after messing with the pins with at toothpick i was able to get the computer to boot to the bios right now im installing windows 7

!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone who told me to bend the pin back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats, glad the CPU wasn't blown.

 

Right now im installing the mobo drivers late night computer build lolz
