Ever dropped a CPU before on a hard surface? Did it end up working?

Tested once with a Pentium 4 CPU, did all kinds of resistance.
Dropping, Stepping and dropping stuff over it was okay.... But slamming an hammer on it didn't work so well.

Never truly had a cpu out of the comp for more than a couple hours for maintenance.
Generally gets sat out of the way while I fuck with other parts

I dropped a new and expensive CPU, and bent some pins. I bent them back with a creditcard and all was well.

They're solid lumps dude.
You used to worry about the pins breaking when you dropped it (or if you still use AMD), but apart from that it's like whatever.

Not really much to break on them senpai, even PGA chips are easy to fix

>Ever dropped a CPU before on a hard surface?
Yes, several times.
>Did it end up working?
Don't know, probably not because I drilled a hole in it to make a keychain.

>>52366649
how many years have you building pcs to drop cpu's several times?

>>52366729
jesus christ you're thick.

He makes keychains out of old cpus, sometimes he drops them.

Be nice to me. I've done nothing but good for you.

but AMD isn't expensive, son.

a ballpoint pen with the tip withdrawn used to work really well too

This was many years back when AMD was still competitive in the highish end of the market.

CPUs aren't that fragile, you could throw them into a brick wall and it probably wouldn't break unless it's a model with pins to bend. There's really nothing else to break, you just have to be careful with ESD.

I dropped mine into an electric bug killer, suffice to say it didn't work after a few thousand volts sparked across it.

Amd wasn't the only company to use pins. That poster could be older than you and have dealt with something else

That CPU didn't fly so well

Perhaps he's wondering why you would shoot a CPU before throwing it out of a plane?

Was breaking pins part of your plan?

>>52366485
Yes, my phenom x4 965
2 bent pins. Fixed it and it's still working after 4 years. Good CPU, gave it to my little bro
