A freshly chipped AMD cpu :|

WHY THE HELL DO THEY MAKE THEM THINGS SO DAMN FRAGILE!!! :|

Does Intel have this "chipping" problem?

If not I may switch brands!

BTW It is DEAD!

Did you buy it and open the box and find it chipped? If so, take it back. Otherwise, be more careful.

Yeah man, can't always blame the manufacturer for user error.........

How did it happen?

 

[ByteMe]

while removing the heatsink

<< while removing the heatsink >>


Ahhh...that's crap. It does have a warranty though, did you check to make sure this isn't covered?

It's not their fault you broke your CPU. Just be more careful. I do think they should make some way to protect the core though.


I popped the top casing off my old K6-2/300. Have never had any problems with it, it's still running fine, even though the corners are chipped from getting the heatsink on there at odd angles. I can't believe it still works, but it does. The K6-2 must have more space inbetween the edges and actual circuitry than the Athlon does.

Hard lesson. Do like i did with the first one i fried when my water block came loose... Hang it from your rear view mirror. When friends get into my truck they ask me what the heck is that? I tell them with a smirk... A $120 reminder that sometimes "good enough" is good enough.

That sucks!
