Hy boys,

 

today I have removed my 3770K cooled by single stage and I have found this surprise. The contact are removed. Why? Can I use this cpu now or are damaged?

 

Thanks

 

Clean them Picture isn't too clear, but from what I see pads are still here, you have to clean them with some chemistry

 

You had condensation (water) or you socket melted

But there is 3 pin contacts removed if you see good. This compromised the cpu?

I have try the cpu but anything. The mboard boot but I have error code 55 and sometimes 00. I have try an other cpu, a 2600K and the mboard ASUS MAXIMUS GENE V boot and reboot always. Have the 3770K killed also the mbaord?

Maybe I am blind or this photo isn't clear but I still see those pads on cpu

 

Use descaler and metal-wired polishing sponge

I agree with xtreme addict, the contacts are there, you only need clean that carefully and you will have you CPU come back.

No boys, there aren't four contatcs on the rear of cpu. I mount the cpu on mboard now and it don't boot. Tomorrow I try it with other mboard, but i'm sure that it's damaged.

Mine is ok.Have about 8-10 contacts like these.

 

It works like new

I have clean the pin socket of my Gene V and the cpu now work, but not always. I think it's contacs problem, but I do RMA. The mboard isn't damage.
