Missing pin on motherboard

trendx · Dec 16, 2006

I am missing a pin on the cpu motherboard socket and was curious if its a big problem.. Here is a pic of the bottom of which pin I am missing and where i would come intact with the processor.. does anyone have ideas on what i should do? Thanks.

only way to tell is try it.The pin on the cpu is missing or the hole on the socket is plugged?

What do you mean.. the c2d doesnt have pins.. its the pin on the socket of the mobo

If you are missing a contact in the LGA socket, I think you are pretty much screwed and will have to send it to the manufacturer for them to fix it. AFAIK, nobody can fix the LGA sockets on the mobo besides a manufacturer.

The pin or contact area on the cpu and socket .

I know the 775 doesnt have pins..
But you could try it.I know some poeple have gotten lucky with cpu's missing pins.So why not the board.But if it doesnt work rma it.

My hardware seems to be working flawlessly..

Then i wouldnt worry about it to much

Well I can easily RMA it through newegg because i dont want problems later down the road if i were to sell it or buy a new processor. Now my question is if i were to RMA this one and get a new one would my OC be as stable and good as it is now or is there no way to tell?
