Wait.... is that NOT the way TIM is supposed to be applied??!! Shit! no wonder my temps have been SO off.and i EVEN watched an Entire 45 second Youtube video tutorial too...:nutkick:
 
That actually improves the conductivity between the CPU and the socket so it runs faster. It's like overclocking.
 
i thought that in order to make your Pc run faster you used coke paste between the CPU and the socket :):po_O
apparently they call it " The Crystal METH od" :)========//

Reminds me of that ancient prank post where one of the oldtimers made a fake "noob account" mistake of using toothpaste for a TIM, and put it on everything, then put it in the dishwasher to fix it, etc... People were speechless about the amount of retard in that thread. Shame it was all fake, I could almost buy it today... Anyone got a link?

Here we go.

PART 1. Not so nasty, but still horrifying... LGA socket pin straightening.

I'll start with a typical Youtube DIY video followed by a few newbie attempts at replicating the repair process.

Attempt #1 - "I had 2 bent pins and tried to fix 'em with scissors... It didn't work..."

Red circle marks the spot where he accidentally pulled out a pin after successfully straightening its neighbor. The best low-budget H81 board banished into oblivion...:banghead:

Attempt #2 - "I saw a guy on youtube: he used a flathead screwdriver."

End result - requires full socket replacement.

I'll add some nasty fails tomorrow, because it requires some digging in my "discard box".

I always preferred to use a mechanical pencil. the pins fit right into the end of the pencil :)
 
Cleaning out the upright vacuum cleaner outside today; I thought of this thread.

...Dust was flying and then some.

Wow, that gave me a good laugh. I could probably find something around here full of dust. Hmmm, maybe opening up that old Hewlett-Packard would be interesting since it never been open and very old (it has Windows 3.1 on it).
