Mission Impossible: soldering on busted off pin on a Opty CABNE!

[krag]

Hey Krag, how does your 4800 do on LS?

Not o good...only does 2,880 on zee phase. I sold it on ebay last week. I have a FX-57 here with no IHS waiting for my DFI Expert to get back from Monarch...psssst!...don't let SSS know that I am on my Intel test rig...He would mock me into my grave.

I just got the Pentium chip delivered. Here is a shot of the pins side by side.

 

[krag]

The pins are quite a bit thicker on the Pentium. I wish I had a 939 socket mobo to see if they will fit.

What do you guys think?

 

[godofgorks]

I think it looks easier to solder a pin on the old pentium then that opty....

Pins look almost too big but....

Best of luck...

it looks like they'll be a tight fit. anyone know of a dead smaller cpu like a p4 or amd chip, if one has died. it looks like if you heat them with a soldering iron the pins will fall right off.

The pins go deeper into the substrate. They have a root thats proly a 1/16th of an inch.

crappy pic....

I'll clip one off my FX-57 and see if I get a higher overclock, then send it to you

Intel

Hey if it's a 955XE it's OK by me

Like I have asked before. Give us/me the opty's pin thickness/height and we'll have more information on how to help. I am 99% sure i'll have something in my collection of parts.

How am I gonna measure the thickness? I do not have a micrometer. There is no way for me to measure 100ths of an inch. I can get the highth but not the thickness which seems to be the most important part.

 

[four4875]

other than buyin a micrometer.... i think its gonna be hard to do. no datasheets around detailing pin layouts and such? those would have to cover pin specs.

ive done the "oebards style" in my P4 before and it worked.. i used a strand from an appliance (stranded) wire...

That's all well and good, but who the hell is "oebard"?

 

[sunrunner20]

nm, amd seems to spec it at .32mm diameter. my first look through didn't spot that. Sorry. Anway, I'll find it in my collection somewhere...

Thanks bro! Where did you get that awsome desk? It looks like it came from a laboratory.

First, The desk acctually did come from a lab, just a computer lab instead of something like a chem lab. And, unfortunatly I was unable to find an exact replacment for the pin. However, I did find a connector thats a mear 1/10th of a mm off from what it should be and they have a wider part at the bottem. They seem to be a perfect replacment with a tiny bit of work. I'll be happy to post a few pins off at a time (the connector has plunty) via regular mail. I think I'll have a PM in a bit

that sucks, i was hoping the chip would help.

can anybody confirm if the socket a pins are the same as socket 939's?

i dont think they are. look at the package size of a 462 vs a 939...

how about some speaker wire?

I looked at all of my speaker wire and its to thin...multi-strands all twisted together.
