CPU pins rule
(lemmy.nz)
My pins:
Thanks I hate it
That looks like some high quality speed paste right there!
😬
Hellmanns :D
Best Foods thermal paste has lower temps than Hellman’s.
Guys, we’re not doing LGA anymore? I thought we all agreed to do LGA.
My CPU pins are fried
Funny timing. I've been busy yesterday unbending some CPU pins for a retro rig
I had a proc with a couple bent pins, my pocket knife was th perfect width to be able to straighten them back out.
Oh neat! I've used the file of a nail clipper (flat side, of course because I know me). Went surprisingly well
Another trick is to use a mechanical pencil without lead and stick the pin in the tip of the pencil.
My pins are on the motherboard so yeah!
