Is this one of those cracked cores?

[BeauJangles]

Guys, I really can't figure this out. Is that what everyone means when they talk about a cracked core? The damn thing won't work nomatter how hard I try. Also is it normal to have to insert a processor in two pieces?

here is a pic. Can someone help me out PLEASE???!

Thanks

looks to me like you can glue it back together ...........

actually...if u push the 2 pieces together real hard and bust a monster sh!t on it...it has a pretty good chance of working. I swear!

Just to spike the interest how did this happen?

And no its not a cracked core its a cracked CPU :Q

 

[BeauJangles]

Well, first I was stupid and forgot to check to see my heatsink was clamped down properly, and pop, the thing fries and takes my motherboard with it. Well, i'm already poor, but I take a loan from my mom and replace the mobo and CPU. In the mean time we move and during the move it somehow cracked in half, as you can see... but the weird thing is that the pins are still alright, it's not as if something crushed it... i dunno it's weird. but funny

So is that the one you bought with the loan money, or is that money for a new one?

 

[SammyBoy]

muahaha, its so sweet. you can see the back of the core and the fact that the pins dont seem to go anywhere

not even a decent photoshop? come on! when ceramic cracks, it completely breaks across the whole part, esp. when the crack is as wide as that one

Not a decent photoshop? That's real dude.

check it out from this angle

:Q that must have taken a LOT of force! maybe the small wires/traces inside held it together

Just use pencil lead to reconnect all the traces in the ceramic. Might as well unlock those L1 bridges while your at it. You gotta love that pencil trick.
