I know that's it's painful to watch someone intentionally cause harm to a component, especially if it's a part that you desire however rather than getting triggered try to realize that these videos are designed to help give confidence to viewers to try and repair their own devices. The CPU still worked afterward and it's pain potentially helps countless people in the future to try and salvage their bent AMD CPUs. You should expect more videos like this, but I won't apologize if that bothers you. That's on you, not me.

I was building my younger brother's pc last night and I accidentally dropped his Ryzen 5 1600 and bent about 14 pins, this video saved me and I've just completed my first fully functional build!

You’re a lifesaver, not only for teaching me how to do this, but giving me the confidence that I wasn’t screwed. Thank you so much

Just wanted to say - this video saved my ass. I was in a deep depression hole thinking i'd messed up my 5800x; and I was allready in my head planning what I would have to sell to try and replace it. Watched this video and decided to give it a go. The relief when it actually worked was out of this world. Thanks Jay!!

There is also a ghetto workaround for broken pins. In my previous PC I had an FX-8350 and once while installing it into the socket I sneezed and smashed the CPU really hard. I broke off about 10 pins and bent a lot of them. I straightened them, but the CPU didn't post. So I found matching "''holes' in the socket and inserted short pieces of copper wire into these holes, so that they would replace broken pins. The CPU worked absolutely fine. Actually my brother has this PC now, and the CPU has been working like this under heavy overclock (5 GHZ) for 3 years or more and still keeps chugging along. So, you can try this method if you are desperate.

Thank you for making this video! It helped me recover from a nightmare scenario. The razor blade technique and gently feeling for resistance were key.

My blood pressure has lowered and my enthusiasm for the build has been restored.

2 years later and this video just saved me. I was using extra fine point tweezers and couldn't see well enough what the problem was but dammit if that CPU kept not fitting on one side and mocking me. Jay to the rescue! Grabbed a razor blade and went back and forth a few times and BOOM. Seated PERFECTLY! THANK YOU!

I just had this happen as i was transferring my computer to a new case. After i did i noticed in this case i could rotate the prisim cooler to make it look nicer and when i did tried to remove the cooler from the processor, the processor came with it was stuck hard to the thermal paste and bent some pins when it yanked out. You saved me so much money, time, and heartache. Thank you.

Three years later, still helpful! Thank you so much, sir!
Bent my R5 3400G pins when removing my stock cooler while the CPU was cold. The whole CPU got dislodged out of the (locked!) AM4 socket with the cooler!
Freaked my ass out, then watched this video and it saved my 3400G! THANK YOU

I dropped my AMD FX-8370 on the ground and got thermal paste on the pins! The pins bent on impact and I re adjusted them. I got the thermal paste off using a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol. This video has really brought back some flashbacks for me, Jay!

@JayzTwoCents This video just saved my Ryzen 7, my 6 year old I5 streaming PC burned out and I'm building the new rig with a Ryzen 1800x...but it somehow had 3 bent pins in the middle when I took it out of the tray, and so I did a search and found this vid. Can't thank you enough good sir, you just turned a nightmare into an awesome day. :)

My ryzen 9 5900 pins were bent, but thanks to your guide and a scalpel, it works smooth now. I nearly ordered a casket because I was so close to dying due to this catastrophic failure of mine.

I despaired when I accidentally bent the pins on my CPU during installation. I nearly bought a new unit, then I found your video and figured I ha nothing to lose. This method worked perfectly! Thank you for posting content like this for novice builders like myself.

Still relevant and useful; my son is building his first gaming rig and we bought an used CPU off eBay. Pins were bent when they packed it in the plastic packaging; we used this method to get it back in ship shape. Thanks very much for saving us from a huge (and expensive) headache!
