What happens if you cut off a CPU's pins?

Cut off all the pins and put it in a Intel motherboard

I think he should keep removing more and more pins and see how long it lasts.

This video would have been a lot more exciting of he used the big knife

it completely depends on what that pin does, many are power and ground pins, those you can lose a few of, if however you lose one of the more important pins, you can lose memory channels, PCIe channels, or even prevent the computer from booting.

Pls do my idea: Heat water with a CPU to make a coffee/tea

When I was an intern in a computer store, I accidentally bent like 8 pins on a than Brand New AMD processor because I accidentally bumped it in to something while I was trying to place it on the motherboard.
I spent about an hour trying to put the pins back in to place with a small knife and a small needle.

But it worked flawlessly.

Grounding pin is exactly what I guessed. Cutting that off only slightly increased resistance of VSS in that area.

I tried this at home, but after cutting off the ground pin, I get shocked every time I build a PC. That's my CPU's revenge...

I was installing a zen2 CPU and I had a stock prism cooler with the 2 metal hooks. I couldn't get the cooler to clip correctly and actually pulled the CPU out of the socket with the thermal paste, and ended up pushing the pins into the plastic socket housing. Bent like 30 pins on the CPU and straightened them. After about 2 hours of painstakingly pushing and inspecting I got it to seat, and it works fine. Haven't pulled it back out since.

I saw this video a while ago from my recommended, thank you for it. Tonight I did a horrible job of installing a new heatsink (I didn't mount the cpu correctly), when I got around to bending the pins back into place I ended up knocking one of the outer ones out. If I didn't see this before I probably would've freaked out and immediately ordered a new one, but I went ahead with the installation anyway and everything works fine. Great work 👍

Nice, a years worth of mryeester in one video. 😁

Your channel is amazing. Great content! Thank you, keep it up!

Most pins are redundant power and ground pins.

Not all of them could be electrically connected internally though, but it’s unlikely a single pin will be used.

If you cut off an IO pin you would get a failure after just one.

I find that most issues occur when pins are touching each other, either on the CPU or the mainboard

It sure is fun bending them back into place

[mahditabatabai]

i literally cant miss any of your videos . tnx for content .keep it up 👌🙏

My daily driver is an FX 6300 and It is still suprisingly good even for gaming.

Please do more full videos. Even if you have to make a separate channel to keep everyone happy. Love your PC destruction tests

Great video i love the longer forms of videos from you
