What kind of a lame answer or advise is that?

What do you mean lame? Not half as lame as the dumbass who used a hammer to pound a skt 939 CPU into a socket 462 don't cha think?

Not half as lame as people who won't take caution and learn before jumping into assembling a computer.

For these people there is Dell.com who provide a very valueable service at a reasonable price. I suggest them always when I see unrecoverable folly.

He's trying to say I'm a dumbass and that I should go and buy a dell instead of build something. REAL funny.:disgust:

Anyway the jewlery ppl said they were sorry and they couldn't do anything about it. Anyway I found an athlon 64 2800+ for 117 (@ newegg). I'm just going to try and be more careful next time and overclock the 2800 to 3200 speeds, possibly even higher if it is stable.

Edit: And thanks for all of your guy's advice, maybe later on if I ever find a similar pin I'd take it and RMA it to AMD =) , although I think the vaccum cleaner ate the pin forever =( Anyway rule 1 to everyone here: Never try and install a cpu with the hsf still attached.

Edit #2: Are theese chips bassically underclocked 3000/3200's? How high can they go usually?

Do not rma it, find out what the laws are in your local area to see if you qulify for a replacement; Because I guarentee AMD will not Take it back, unless the state you live in requires them to do so. TRUST ME.

too bad you broke a s754 processor, if you broke a 940 processor then it would become a 939 processor and you could use it in something like an A8V. would that even work if you broke the right pin?

Lol, I don't think so, they both use differenct cores and stuff.

I will try and find out my laws, but where?

And just because I make my first mistake (because I am a newbie) doesn't qualify me for needing a dell. I understand that whatever I did was stupid and that I should've learned how to deal with the cpu before I touch it, but if you guys really wanted to make sure I was careful, you should've answered the other post I had when I asked questions on how to deal with the CPU, none of you replied to that question (even after countless bumps) so I became fed up and said to myself whatever, I'm sure everything here is just common sense.

What state do you live in? I will give you a start, but the rest is up to you.

Obviously it is the one he needs, since his processor can't function with out it. Hmmm.... Maybe he can find one on his processor that he does not need (using white sheets) and stick it where he broke it off.... NAAAA! But if you really think that finding the old pin will work, and i doubt it will; But if you insist
you can always find an older processor(p3/barton/k6/p4) and cut off a pin or two. Just be 100% sure that they are of the same DIAMETER and not a single hundreth of an inch differant. Also Good luck keeping the solder from coming in contact with the other pins.:)

Have you tried using the CPU, despite the missing pin?

About 400 pins on an A64 are used for power - break 1, and you've a good chance that there are 99 more which make exactly the same connection.

There are also about 50 which aren't connected to anything at all, and seem to be there for decoration.

No I haven't tried it. I don't want to risk losing my whole computer over a small 200$ CPU. I managed to get some Pentium 4 pins on it =D (the first ones that came out, 1.3 ghrz I think). I will try it when my computer becomes obsolete and I have nothing else to do with it. Right now my 2800+ is in there doing what my 3200+ could not, keeping my system stable.

Ok, my advise would be to speak to a lawyer, you may have certain warrenty rights to replacement where you live; And you could be entitled to a replacement.

Speak to your lawyer about a processor return policy. >_>. That is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. Oh yea that is what a law firm is looking for, some nerdy little twirp that is wondering about his processor return policy, (no offense), and if the lawyer even knows who AMD are or what a processor is LOL.

dude, just return the goddamn processor. Tell them it came like that. Or find some solder pro to fix it for you.

i wonder if u just insert the pin into the socket and apply pressure on top (like a heatsink) will it actually make a perfect contact?
