Looks like I've got a bent pin

on my motherboard’s cpu socket…

I’m really hoping that when the new chip is installed it pushes it back into place…

all the pins have a lean to them… and it’s leaning in the right direction… just not as much as it should and I’m afraid that it’s angled wrong… it might not be… the cpu socket cover has ■■■■■■■ prongs on it…

that ■■■■ is way to damned small to really see what is going with it and the lighting is shitty over there.

I just have a ■■■■ load to complain about right now. effing iphones… those cameras and “flashlights” suck so damn bad…

If you go on YouTube there are lots of videos about repairing pins with a mechanical pencil

Sounds sweet. I am still on an old Xeon chip but like you have the 390. Is a great card - am hoping the 8 gigs of vram will make it fairly future proof.

I had to buy a new laptop on the weekend. I don’t know much about computers but this one is great.

My old one died, well the screen died. It is probably something that could be fixed but it was a 7 year old computer running windows vista.

My new one has 8gb ram, 1tb hard drive space, AMD A6 processor and radeon graphics. It runs windows 10 which I like a lot. And it has a matte screen so no reflection on my game!

It is an ASUS.

Like I say, I don’t know much about computers but I felt like sharing in this thread. Thanks for reading.

this is a good brand in my experience…

Cool! My last one was HP and I was worried about changing brand.

Yeah I have bought a lot of asus stuff. Good brand

HP sucks a big one…

My laptop is an acer…

I’d say MSI, Acer, Asus, Microsoft, Sony, basically anything but Dell or HP will be a decent windows machine.

Thank you both for replying to me. It was nice being part of this thread!
