Almost bad.

Rowsol · Aug 30, 2012, 01:52 AM

I just took off my heatsink to clean the dust out. I had to twist to get it off.

The cpu came out of the mobo and was stuck on the heatink. By some kind of miracle the pins were still straight.

AMDs were famous for that years ago. I think, at least they used to, they will RMA a chip if that happens.
