Recently while dusting my motherboard (msi H61M-P31 G3) i happen to partly damage my processor socket (lga 1155). It apeared to me as if there was a strand of hair in the lower half of the socket, curious of how it got there, i tried to get it out. After I pulled off enough of the strand (like 15 cms) i realised I've been pulling on a thin-purposfully-wraped copper wire. And yes i panicked and ended up pulling most of it out.
It resulted in lower performing desktop. The readings on taskmanager would give between 0 to 3 Ghz but i think its only for 2 cores instead of 4, also the processor's heat sink remains at room temprature or slightly higher (same after applying fresh heatsink compound). The pc keeps lagging every now n then for 3 to 20 secs, n especially way more than before when playing some directx intensive game (on integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000) Ifnyone has any deeper insight on this pls share.
Is there any way to get that wire ( or the same type of wire ) wrapped inside the socket again and gain back optimal performance?? Or will I HAVE to get a whole new board??
