th-thanks for the warning foxconn
You are an idiot sandwich
>>50789334
imma sell it on ebay as used
I broke the pin trying to straighten it
>>50789514
Just glue it back on
>>50789514
Wow, you're pretty lucky anon,
D1 = Not needed to function
>>50789827
actually its AY3, not D1
>>50789868
still non-critical to function
>>50789868
Still don;t need it
>>50789885
>>50789888

>rtfm next time.
story of my life...
>boot it up
>this motherboard is not compatible with i5 2500k
hence why i was replacing the socket cover
Shiiit man that happened to me too to a board that I wanted to RMA but after bending the pins that was not an option anymore. Thanks for reminding me OP

You're welcome, taking a quick look at google it seems that a lot of people make the same mistake.

Motherboards based pins are much easier to break than the ones that were on CPUs.
>>50790295
Get the fuck out.
LGA is so so much better than PGA.
I don't understand how people can fucking break their socket with LGA, OP must be a fucking retard, if it doesn't have a CPU in it, put the fucking cover on it. Done. Fucking boggles my mind.

Kek. Switched from AMD my entire life to intel the other week, I put my CPU in the mobo
>cruuuuuuuuuunch
>Oh fuck
I spergged out for 30minutes on google and realized that's what is supposed to happen.
>>50789279
Why can't we just return to slots for the motherboard/CPU. My PIII 450mhz installation was so easy.
