I have a computer question and it is aimed at the Do It Yourselfer.
I was replacing a cooling fan/heat sink on a CPU last week and when I
pulled off the old Heatsink it pulled the whole CPU out with it.
When I put the CPU back in with the new heatsink/cooling fan, it bent
(I mean really bent) some of the pins on the CPU.
Has any one ever had luck un bending pins on a newer CPU?
It is an Opteron 170 AMD socket 939 CPU.
I have ordered a replacement (lower speed) CPU for this board, and
decided to order a backup plan (Newer AM2+ board, CPU and memory) just in case.
What should I use to unbend the pins? A sewing needle?
