bent pins on ryzen 5 processor :( [duplicate]
Mechanical pencil is what I've always found to be best for this job. If you leave out any graphite and use the hole at the end you would normally write from it should fit snugly round the CPU pins.
Tweezers should do it. Have you tried them?
I think I used them once. I read about it along with the credit card method! You may want to use both But from the sound of things, tweezers would be more useful to you.
My suggestions
- Hold the CPU tight
- bend the pin at the bottom of the pin to make it straight at bottom, then use a tweezer to hold it at that particular place. (The rationale here is that the worst thing you can have is breakage of the pin at the bottom of the pin nearest to the CPU, which is exactly the place of highest stress if you use tweezers to hold it.
- while holding the base of the pin adjust the top of the pin (faraway from the CPU). try not to make too many tries.
