Guys I broke off one of the pins by mistake when trying to apply thermal paste and now the cpu temp fluctuates anywhere from 30 c to 80 c.
What would be a similar CPU for around $100 or less?

Buy the same one on ebay and return your broken one claiming it arrived like that.

Spend an extra 25 and get a new one. Or you could spend an extra 50 and get an 8350.

That sucks, especially since Zen is two to three months away.

Put it into the socket

or AMD has this deal going on where you get free DOOM and Deus Ex, but you need to buy a motherboard with it to get DOOM

how the fuck did you break pins applying thermal paste?
am I the only person who applies it after putting the chip in the socket so I won't drop it or touch the pins with my disgusting meat fingers?
>>57548287
You're supposed to only apply it after it's secured in the socket
>>57548256
>No ESD safety
Why am I not surprised this spurg broke off a CPU pin
>>57548446
that shit is literally never nessisary anymore, you could rub your motherboard on carpet and it'll still be fine

What?
>>57547440
Don't do this, it's a felony.
sellers like myself will report you to the United States Postal Inspection Service.
You will get v&

Absolute bullshit. Components will fry with the huge amount of voltage.
Go look at the chip under a microscope, the ESD causes defects in the silicon, problems will not always occur immediately, but after time it'll become rekt.
>>57549289
is everything in your place covered in carpet as you're wearing a fursuit rubbing yourself on everything?
most people who build a PC nowadays don't bother with ESD protection because the components aren't fragile anymore

if you are such a kid then why not ask your mom to do it for you.

How the fuck did you manage to do that?
There was some other thread saying the FX8300 were $100 right now on newegg
>>57551569
$114. You have 19 hours, OP

how the fuck you break a pin while applying thermal paste??
Next time put the CPU in the motherboard BEFORE putting on the paste you idiot.
For bonus points, just apply the paste to the cooler.
>>57547421
is it really dead?
have you tried popping it back in?
if you want to wait, just get a used cpu.
OP go on Amazon, order the same one, replace and return. You'll be fine man.
>>57547421
>the cpu temp fluctuates anywhere from 30 c to 80 c.
typical FX 6350

is return fraud a felony?
>>57547421
Were you fucking holding the CPU in your hand while applying thermal paste? Jesus fucking Christ, never breed.
>>57554145
>>57554145
above poster is a dumbass.
You're not getting arrested for return fraud from a single ebay purchase.
If you make a lifestlye out of it maybe but i've still never heard of that...
still its a dick move

Uhh, no?
