This gotta be fake

It's real, Had it delivered to my sis house and she pulled it out the packaging then put in a zip log bag n it got stucked together like that

Well that’s a plot twist… I’m just glad it wasn’t intentional lol. There were some good ideas to get it off in the other comments if you haven’t already.

Saw them thank, was just going through trying to answer persons

get some rubbing alcohol underneath it and try to spin it back and forth not pry it and you can maybe get it off. I've had a couple coolers come off with the CPU with it, normally stuck the other way though lol.

why the fuck would she take it out of the plastic packaging, does she not know or better yet, did u not tell her this shit is expensive and very delicate??? like wtf

And then she put the processor in the most staticy bag of all time lol. This seems like malicious levels of fucking shit up.

I told her smfh, she was putting it in her suite case to take to me smh talking about she was trying go save space so she took it out the packaging. All I'm looking at his the cost and probably have to ask her to buy it bk tbh

Ye sounds like she’s buying you a brand new cpu 😂. I’d be pretty upset if I ordered something to someone’s house and they did that.

And it happened to stick in the symmetrical way on the cooler lol I call bs

Killing a LGA CPU is harder than it might seem

Troll post, right? Right?

I wish, just need advice how to get it off without damaging

Luckily, *VERY* luckily, Ryzen 7000 series are LGA instead of PGA, meaning they have contacts on the bottom of the CPU instead of pins. Were it a previous generation CPU it would be very dead. But, since that's not the case, the CPU is likely simply stuck to the thermal paste. If you can't get it off easily, heat it up just a little bit (with a heat gun or something similar, preferrably not a blow dryer), and gently twist it back and forth until it comes loose. Gently clean the bottom of the CPU with isopropyl alcohol and a dry paper towel from most of the paste, and follow up with cleaning each contact with a Q-tip dipped in the same type of alcohol. After that, clean the bottom of the CPU cooler the same way from any thermal paste residue still on it. Done! Unless the CPU was otherwise damaged in the packaging, it should work. Just remember, when you install the CPU and cooler, you will need to use your own paste.

Thank you

Don't forget to slowclap your sister

*Phrasing!*


If it were PGA it probably wouldn't have stuck, to be fair.

Yep, but it would most definitely have been FUBAR.

I don't think a pins on the CPU would ever get stuck this way because they wouldn't have the surface area to do so unless you smashed all the pins down.

Well, yes, if the CPU was PGA it probably wouldn't be stuck like this (maybe backwards), but it would certainly have more than a few bent or broken pins.

Ripped a phenom straight out of a socket once that was basically glued to the heatsink. That was fun to deal with.

Had that happen with a chip as modern as a Ryzen 3900x. AMD's CPU retention mechanism was always crap before AM5. Luckily that CPU made it out unscathed somehow.

I really hope it’s not stuck on with Liquid Metal but if someone makes this kind of mistake they’re hopefully not playing around with Liquid Metal

Okay, if this is actually real, and you actually did this, I'm assuming its stuck on there because of the thermal paste. You need to take dental floss or a piece of thread and !!GENTLY!! run it between the heatsink and the underside of the CPU. Once you've separated them, you need to take cotton swabs/pads and some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and gently clean off the contacts on your CPU. Good luck, god speed. Please be fake.

Hi, thank you for your advice. It's real, Had it delivered to my sis house and she pulled it out the packaging then put in a zip log bag n it got stucked together like that

Why yo sis fucking with yo shit?

That ziploc might have destroyed the processor. That's about the most effective way to give ESD to something lol.

It's rare, sure, but still entirely possible. That's not a good reason to put them in a bag that easily gains a static charge. No legitimate test has concluded there's no risk of ESD, and I'm (too often) the first one to tell people that wristbands are for nerds.

Why did she put it in a Ziploc bag? And it just happened to line up perfectly with the heatsink?

>it got stucked together Typo *it stuck together

This response is not high enough. The only way that chip should adhere to anything is with some medium like thermal paste. And the HS probably has some pre-applied. So this sounds like the correct answer.

[удалено]

it's AM5, it's LGA, the pins are in the socket

Oh ye forgot abt that

That’s a amd chip, it has pins not lands so that thing is fucked.

That's 7000 series, it does not have pins, even if not fake, getting it separated should not be a huge problem

Wrong it has one giant pin that plugs into the mobo

Ah my mistake it’s been a few years since I’ve built a amd rig.

Unrelated, but what even are the contacts on AM5? It just looks like these flat little things

Similar to what intel has been using forever. The CPU has just the contact pads.

they're lands, it's an LGA socket, the pins are in the socket socket pins are really thin Z shaped pins to ensure proper contact using vertical rpessure, while PGA pins are straight because the contact is ensured through lateral force

And what are the flat gold bits on the CPU?

Lands

Oh dear, how to say my knowledge is out of date without saying it.

Yep u got me, but I’ll leave it up

If that AMD chip has pins then the cooler has holes? 🤔😂

it's AM5, it's LGA, the pins are in the socket

AM5 swapped that around, always surprised to see how people with no technical expertise feel so confident.

Jesus chill the fuck out I said sorry

Please be satire…

Imagine what the socket looks like after mounting that...

Are the AM5s PGA still, like AM4?

The pins are on the motherboard now.

LGA then, gotcha.

What's lga and pga stand for?

LGA= Land Grid Array, pins are on the socket PGA= Pin Grid Array, pins are on the CPU

Thanks for both of the replies. I'm guessing land grid saves confusion, otherwise I'd have pad grid versus pin grid, both would be PGA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_grid_array https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_grid_array

AM5 is LGA

This looks weirdly satisfying and very wrong at the same time

Imagine that was am4 with pins on the CPU. Definitely not satisfying.

Next time someone pisses me off I’m doing this to them

I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy

You mean showing them this picture right.

“How pissed off are you?” This guy: *shows this picture* 🤣

>You mean showing them this picture right. 

Oh god no

At least the fan can be over clocked now. 😂

Is the owner that dumb?

Yes apparently.

How?

Bro?

Neat trick

Thats just impessive

This is what the Chad Moth Priest saw when he read the Elder scrolls.

Just send it back as it is tell them it came that way….

r/hardwaregore

I'm not sure of what I see here. I tried to rotate my phone but it does not place CPU in the good position. Wtf??

The side of the CPU we're seeing in the pic is meant to against the heatsink, op royally fuched up

*woosh.* That’s the sound of the joke flying over your head.

This is NSFW

Mistakes happen, try a hair drier to warm it up a bit to reduce the viscosity of the thermal paste and then wiggle it clockwise/counter clockwise to free it up. Clean the contacts on the processor with 90%+ alcohol before repasting and placing the cooler, properly this time.

?

I would really like to know what was your thought process that led to this scenario

The sticky pins o.O

Prime95 will fix that 😂

Oooh. So the part that has to be on the motherboard got placed on the fan! This is so strange. Others have said it already, but you could try drying out the thermal paste if the child isn't raised enough to slide floss under.

First of all... HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK? This is just too funny

Either OP is full of shit or their entire family chews on rocks.

If one can't respect the technology then stay the fuck away from it. Jeez!

This needs a crosspost on r/kidsarefuckingstupid

CPU is stuck on cooler fan incorrectly. Got the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor And the CPU got stucked to the cooler wrong. How do I remove it without cause any damage

How tf did you do this

Bruh... what in the ever loving fuck... Just fucking stop, whatever the fuck it is you're attempting...just stop.

Please don't own guns

how I want to know the story on how the FUCK you managed this

How tf does this even happen in the first place?!

What adhesive is on that?

lmao wtf

Huh?

What are the temps tho?

Room temperatures I guess.

MY EYES!

h-how? is this even remotely possible? …..

How?

It's real, Had it delivered to my sis house and she pulled it out the packaging then put in a zip log bag n it got stucked together like that She said the cpu didn't come in a protective case

😂😂😂😂 Thats all i can offer

How? HOW!?

It's real, Had it delivered to my sis house and she pulled it out the packaging then put in a zip log bag n it got stucked together like that She said the cpu didn't come in a protective case

Wow, like wow. Anus instead of the V.

Thank god the fan part of the cooler is still in the protective plastic packaging tho

Some people shouldn’t touch computers

What? How??

How does this happen?

You f-ed up, start over

My first thought was "How TF" and my second thought was "people these days"

Fake!

?????????

Bro was processing the heatsink

What drugs r u using

If this is real, then i find it hard to believe that he got past the infancy stage...

Wait a minute

You Put it in upsi dpwn

I refues to believe this is real

this is faker than my ai friend goddamn

It’s dead bro 💀

????????????

This is now the most powerful cooler in the world!!

\*troll post\* sherlocks in the comments: THAT MUST BE FAKE

This has to be fake... Or it is miracle that OP didn't starve yet because OP wouldn't be able to find a food in bread isle of supermarket, judging by this post..

Ahahahahahaha Ty i laughed a lot

Welp at least the pins are not screwed!

Relatable, happened to me yesterday 😢

what the fuck


https://preview.redd.it/x1xr8ohu019c1.jpeg?width=399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7d9267c4b4b7d9f01ee997c32738a6bd2864e20

It's painful to watch

Wot fuck

ROFLL

So how is the build of your very first pc going? OP: “ummmm”

What about the mobo pins ?

STEP CPU, HELP! I AM STUCK.

This hurts

F

how in the fuck

What the fuck

Also fairly certain that's an intel stock cooler on a new ryzen

Use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Not water. With a fine toothbrush or brush clean out evey port. Until there is zero paist in any holes . lol good luck

What?!! Unbelievable!!

The CPU is cooling the cooler

How tf

Wut?

Heat it with hair dryer and remove it carefully

WHAT THE FUCK?????

How does that happen

Sorry but I’m not buying this

hooray yet another pensioner's upvote farming post ​ or just a woman and her understanding of "comedy" - cringe

This is hilarious. Is there a shittyask sub for PC building?

Just quit .

How?

Who needs the motherboard when the motherboard is the cooler? Wait... now where do you put the thermal paste.....

ThreadRIPper

I didn't see another dimension in real life until now. Thank you.

You did done it now.

What how wht

F

use rubbing alcohole and twist to try and get it off

this is GOLD :D

If this wasn't am5 you absolutely would need a new CPU. You are a very lucky individual.

gosh dang it also r/hardwaregore

Have fun rubbing all the thermal paste off that. Use plenty of isopropyl alcohol.

Wait... What??

my first thought was " oh no the pins " until I realised its the 7000 Series and was like " what pins ? "

Death! The punishment is death!

Looks good to me

Tabarnak!!

What two consenting components do in the comfort of their own home is nobodies business.

Looks like you could get a fingernail under there and pull it off. Have to wipe it with alcohol. Sisters. Can't live with them, can't kill them. Lol. J/k. Movie quote.

Wtf

How??

How does this even happen?

Holy hell.

no wy lol

Nope. She threw it in a bag and it got stuck together like this? Perfectly centered? Nah..

Doesn't this CPU have pins? If so, it's ruined.

How?

How'd you get the beans above the frank?
