Question

Iron

Hello!
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-H110M-HD2 (socket 1151).
Bent legs at the socket. Is it possible to fix them in this case, as in the photo?

Answer 1

Yes, with a magnifying glass and a thin plugger. Well, there are a lot of pins duplicating each other. There is a possibility that even breaking one / two pins will work.

Answer 2

Everything is real. I had even worse. Straightened without a magnifier at all. Much easier with a magnifying glass. Take a Soviet razor, and go ahead) the main thing here is patience and only patience. If you are not diligent, you will do it quickly and at random, so it’s better not to even take it. I spent half a day fiddling, straightening - with a razor and a needle. And most importantly, you need good lighting. Preferably under a lamp.
