I fucked up the socket earlier on my motherboard. Is it ok to keep the CPU in the socket and memory in until I get the replacement

So basically I am using a broken motherboard to store components until the replacement arrives

As long as you don't power it on and don't move it around, it should be fine.

What happens if it got powered on, out of curiosity

Stuff would short out. Probably wouldn't get magic smoke, but that really depends on which pins are bent. You could probably fry something expensive though.

how many times are you going to make this thread when you already got answers in the last one?
Get a company that can rework it.
>>57892045
Literally how does this even happen
>>57893658
this, you fucking troglodyte. Jesus.
>>57892045
Without juice is safe.
If you don't know that you should not power that thing if you keep it mounted then you probably should keep your hands off of any kind of technology

Chip seems to have survived. Just won't get the new board in for 2 days so you're couldn't figure out what else to do

And now it's just sitting in the motherboard in its box
