What you're experiencing in this video, I experienced at age 12 - albeit with an iron rather than hot air station. Persistence leads to great things, though. Those bad experiences led to perfecting my soldering technique over the years, and I now routinely solder things even smaller with an iron - and it is easy!

@J M do you mean incorrigible? I'm not sure "encourageable" is a proper word and certainly wouldn't be a weird one if it was, as it's clear meaning would be "able to be encouraged".
I have tried to straighten pins on a CPU and you need a magnifier and a light - but working up close like that on such small items THOSE same magnifier and lights can easily get in the way!!!
Starts off cheerful like Mr Rogers but goes down hill. But I feel like I'm watching TV; this is a really good channel, awesome story and production I am so impressed 😍
At the beginning of this video I thought “Man the guy is gonna feel real stupid about giving them his CPU if it’s such an easy fix” 16 minutes in and I think the guy has every right to feel like a genius for getting rid of that CPU
Years ago I was building a PC with older parts and I mean really old parts from the 90's. The CPU I wanted to use was a Pentium 166Mhz. The pins on the bottom were bent up though. So I went and sat next to a table with a lamp, took the lamp shade off and help the CPU below the lamp and started working on the pins with a tooth pick. I got them pretty straight and the CPU worked.
Reflowing is difficult because of the unleaded solder that amd is using? Louis rossmann always cleans the pads then applies leaded solder because it has a lower melting point. I think
When Linus brought in flux and SMD machine, I waited for Louis to jump right in to frame and knock Linus out. Jokes apart Louis will repair it so good that AMD will take notes about how to repair broken CPUs
my first thought was him saying "slow and steady" for a reason to keep the temps low while soldering.. turn that shit up! Also why didn't he clean it before plugging it in ahhhh!!!!???
Replaced a motherboard because my first mobo was faulty. Bought z590 and splurged on a new case, and I had lots of help on the first time I built it because nerves. Over shot the thermal paste by a million and it squished out all over the mf mobo. Didn't know, booted it, nothing. Took cpu out, cleaned the hell out of it, picked thermal paste out of all the pins, cleaned everything as best I could, plugged back in, nothing. Pulled it back out, recleaned and noticed bent CPU pins. Thought I was fkd, so I got a toothpick and started bending pins back at like 4 am... put it back it, booted it, and it worked. Shocked.
Exactly what i thought, but leaving the flux there after soldering is not good idea though some flux are more conductive than others especially if it hasn't been warmed up 😅
@@jimellis1496 well yes I understand the value of getting it completed, but if my boi Linus is having this much of a struggle then there's no hope for my shaky hands and lack of dexterity
I'm late but it should be mentioned that whether you're using an iron or hot air, it can actually be easier to overheat components if the heat setting is too *low*, because you're applying that heat for much longer and thus it has more time to spread out into the parts that you don't want heated.
Hi, I find a very easy way, to fixing the bent pins. If you use an unloaded mechanical pencil (with the little metal tube in the end), you will be do all of this extremly easy (if you have steady hands) and for bonus you can fix the pins, that bent in the middle. All you need to do, just load the the pins in the tube and bend to the right place. I did it with an athlon 64 x2 (sorry 4 bad english).
You think computers are bad try working on cars. "It should take me about 1 hour babe" 3 hours later "so I finally got the part off now I just have to install the new one"
Linus: “Nicolas, your only way out of this is for the audience to just love how much you’ve been messing with me for the last 45 minutes.” (12:25) Audience: “Yes”
Linus: "X470 is not compatible out of the box!" Nicolas: "It isn't?" Me: Thinking about the sentence in your comment. Tip to Linus: If you're going to say something like that you're giving an incentive for them to f*ck you over.
Lmao this is definitely something that would push someone over the edge. However he did get the satisfaction of great success at the end though so maybe it would offset all the frustration.
That was a journey. I remember back in the 90s, I'm at my new workplace and during a conversation they picked up that I was "into computers". One of my new colleagues was a tinkerer who had bought an intel 286 powered IBM PC 15 years earlier.... taken it to pieces to "learn how they work", and had ended up with a pile of components dumped in a box in his loft for 15 years. He brought the box in the following day and by trial and error 2 hours later (they covered for me while I was reassembling this PC) I had the joyous pride of being able to call my new found friend back into the store room and reintroduce him to the now fully functioning PC he had destroyed 15 years earlier. The look of relief and disbelief on your face after resusitating that CPU immediately reminded me of that moment.
More videos with Nicholas please. LOL I enjoyed the way he made your steps 100 percent harder than they needed to be. You might not enjoy that, but we do as the audience.
Guys, calm down. This is a UA-cam comment section on a random daily video from another tech channel. No one cares, we are all just cruising and having fun...
Me: I've seen these bent pin CPUs on craigslist and maybe I can take those and save money thanks to this video! After 75% of this video: no that is not something I will be doing
@@kitekrazee I wouldn't try that, if you put the bent ones in anyway it would just do more damage. They don't have to be perfect and sometimes you need to help them but that doesn't really take practice)
This was interesting to watch. I do a bit of repair myself and I never thought to try doing a CPU before. I would have to e high heat low air speed. That being said having the right tips would have helped a lot
There are few things that felt more real than the moment Linus realized he fixed it. I've been through that and there's no better feeling than success after countless failures.
Linus: "Nicholas, your only way out of this is for the audience to love how you've been messing with me the last 45 minutes." Audience: "Nicholas, well done good sir."
I didn't knew this could be done like this. I mean, I didn't have these tools, but hey. Back then my almost 70 years father held the magnifying glass, and I held CPU and needle in my hands. The problem with mine was that the bent pins were in the middile, so when I tried to push bent ones to side, to return them in correct position, I bent the good ones... Some fell off, like five. After a lot of stress, yelling swearing, giving up, I managed eventually, to align them as they should be but I was afraid of the worst. Turns out as you said, those were grounds or some reserved. The funniest thing is, it's AMD Phenom XII, you know, the one with secret two other deflected cores that shouldn't be working (i didn't knew this when we were buying the PC). Well hey, they work on mine! I OC'd it on around 3.5 ghz stable (3.2 ghz stock two cores) and it runs for about... five years now? Once I came home and my GPU was literally melting (AMD Radeon 5670 1GB Sapphire) GPU fan was melted and AMD Catalyst was saying that the temp of the GPU was 102c . I bought my PC in like, 2010 and I still use it. And I play Planetside 2 with it too. Cheers!
@@xxalex423xx Oh god the button was flimsy so I had to get a loaner cpu from amd which took 3 weeks to arrive and send back to upgrade the mobo to 3rd gen.
it might not be a bad idea to look up the pin layout of the board you wanna replace and taking a pin from an unused area of your CPU, its jankier but also the pins would be the right size and if you do it right it can end out being cleaner
I have been doing this for more than 10 years and have built an apparatus with which I can put individual pins in a hot syringe cannula where the pin fits right in and can thus place the pin where it is missing, hands-free. In this way, it is possible to heat this one PIN so much that it melts the soldering paste without the risk of other PINs being unsoldered or touched. Once the soldering paste has melted, I turn off the soldering iron on the cannula (basically a normal soldering tip in which I have drilled a hole in which the cannula is inserted) and wait until the CPU is cold again. In addition, the base board material is not charred, so my repaired CPUs cannot be distinguished from unprocessed ones. Perfect results with a centered and 90 ° position of the PIN.

You think computers are bad try working on cars. "It should take me about 1 hour babe" 3 hours later "so I finally got the part off now I just have to install the new one"
This is a perfect demonstration of why I hate soldering.
He's just doing it wrong
Don't hate soldering, hate lead-free ROHS-compliant solder, that stuff won't flow for anything
Agreed. Had to solder a couple of small things yesterday and it fucking sucks.
Soldering very small and delicate parts is always annoying
Not even worth soldering broken CPU pin

7:59 “little bit of flux” Not sure if it’s just me but he sounds kinda like gru from despicable me
I was looking for this comment lol
He really does
Gru?

New drinking game....Take a shot every time Linus squeals.
Shot every time he says Nickolas
Ayy marvin
We'd be hammered. LOL
take a shot every time he drops something seems more productive imho!
Yep lets do that then get the vodka boys
7:59 He sounded like Gru from The Minions/Despicable Me

Wow that’s shockingly true
YES
ITS sooo TRUE
What if he is actually Gru? Lmao

Linus: “Nicolas, your only way out of this is for the audience to just love how much you’ve been messing with me for the last 45 minutes.” (12:25)
Audience: “Yes”
Linus: "X470 is not compatible out of the box!"
Nicolas: "It isn't?"

Tip to Linus: If you're going to say something like that you're giving an incentive for them to f*ck you over.
I can only speak for myself here but i very much did not like it
(That Evening)
Linus: "Guys I'm thinking about retiring"
Head cannon:
Linus makes this video takes a break, goes home live streams "I am thinking about retiring"
bro this was my exact thought! If this video wasn't done before that stream, then he'll surely retire after making this.
Lmao this is definitely something that would push someone over the edge. However he did get the satisfaction of great success at the end though so maybe it would offset all the frustration.

I wouldn't blame him lmao
that hot-air rework station needs a narrow tip for more precise heat direction

Well, duh, Linus: that's why it's called faith.

@@fluffehgamer4712 I'm aware of that. Why do you think I reacted to this comment.
@@jay22alco Rossmann*
That was a journey. I remember back in the 90s, I'm at my new workplace and during a conversation they picked up that I was "into computers". One of my new colleagues was a tinkerer who had bought an intel 286 powered IBM PC 15 years earlier.... taken it to pieces to "learn how they work", and had ended up with a pile of components dumped in a box in his loft for 15 years. He brought the box in the following day and by trial and error 2 hours later (they covered for me while I was reassembling this PC) I had the joyous pride of being able to call my new found friend back into the store room and reintroduce him to the now fully functioning PC he had destroyed 15 years earlier. The look of relief and disbelief on your face after resusitating that CPU immediately reminded me of that moment.
19:37 straight up thought that was a Segway to skillshare

That would have been one of the best segues on this channel imo
@Dylan Morgan good to know it's spelled that way 😂 i didn't know either 😅
I haven't seen Linus enjoying himself this much for a good while.
That is so refreshing, plus the video's subject was awesome.
Keep it up!

Me: I've seen these bent pin CPUs on craigslist and maybe I can take those and save money thanks to this video!
After 75% of this video: no that is not something I will be doing
Buy super cheap and old ones and practice!
Depends how bad it is, I managed to bend em back good enough and had like 20+ bent ones.
Bent is easy, broken.... not so much
Time would be better spent practicing putting the CPU in. Unless things have changed it's not a rocket science installing one .
@@kitekrazee I wouldn't try that, if you put the bent ones in anyway it would just do more damage. They don't have to be perfect and sometimes you need to help them but that doesn't really take practice)
This was interesting to watch. I do a bit of repair myself and I never thought to try doing a CPU before. I would have to e high heat low air speed. That being said having the right tips would have helped a lot
Linus: "This is going to be an easy video today"
Also Linus: "No... I'm fine" counter goes up.
Linus: Today we’re going to fix a dead CPU-
Louis Rossmann: *HOLD MY SOLDERING IRON*
Flux intensifies
Louis: *You know what, give it back, I'll actually need it*
Linus: So just a small amount of flux....
Louis Rossmann: *beats head on desk*
There are few things that felt more real than the moment Linus realized he fixed it. I've been through that and there's no better feeling than success after countless failures.
miata
bro that feeling of fixing something that felt impossible.
I was addicted to that. *was*
all this video is teaching me is that i’m going to want to be incredibly careful with my cpu
The price point and how easy it is to screw up if you don't follow directions didn't already teach you that?
Dont build a pc if you dont even know how careful you should be with parts

Not really. The first few times can be funny, but the latter screwups are stupid and irritating.
@@9308323 yup
I Liked the video exactly as he said this
17:49 watching Linus being happy , makes me happy too.
Same here
I didn't knew this could be done like this. I mean, I didn't have these tools, but hey. Back then my almost 70 years father held the magnifying glass, and I held CPU and needle in my hands. The problem with mine was that the bent pins were in the middile, so when I tried to push bent ones to side, to return them in correct position, I bent the good ones... Some fell off, like five. After a lot of stress, yelling swearing, giving up, I managed eventually, to align them as they should be but I was afraid of the worst. Turns out as you said, those were grounds or some reserved. The funniest thing is, it's AMD Phenom XII, you know, the one with secret two other deflected cores that shouldn't be working (i didn't knew this when we were buying the PC). Well hey, they work on mine! I OC'd it on around 3.5 ghz stable (3.2 ghz stock two cores) and it runs for about... five years now? Once I came home and my GPU was literally melting (AMD Radeon 5670 1GB Sapphire) GPU fan was melted and AMD Catalyst was saying that the temp of the GPU was 102c . I bought my PC in like, 2010 and I still use it. And I play Planetside 2 with it too. Cheers!
That entire PC that took a dive way back when STILL makes me cringe in pain every time I see it
"Has this motherboard been bios flashed?" Gave me flashbacks.
thats a pun
Oh yea, the b450 with a ryzen 3rd gen was one of my worst mistakes
@@grant.keegan why was that a mistake?
@@grant.keegan im happy I had a ''EZFlash'' button (I think its called like that), took me some time to figure it out tho
Not using that mobo anymore
@@xxalex423xx Oh god the button was flimsy so I had to get a loaner cpu from amd which took 3 weeks to arrive and send back to upgrade the mobo to 3rd gen.
For a hot minute when he said grizzly's i thought tunnel bear was back.
It's a thermal bear this time around.
it might not be a bad idea to look up the pin layout of the board you wanna replace and taking a pin from an unused area of your CPU, its jankier but also the pins would be the right size and if you do it right it can end out being cleaner
Linus:"accidents happen"
*Proceeds to show the only 3 accidents on the channel that weren't his fault*
one was his
He said that accidents also happen to 'yourself' and then showed his infamous laptop drop
"Louis rossman wants to know your location"
Louis actually knows his location, he's been there and did a collab.
The measly amount of flux calls for the wrath of Gods.
**Yeets flux to linus** YOU NEED MORE FLUX!
"Why the hell is there a JTAG connector on this? That's illegal." - Rossman (probably)
If there are no fans to spin, does the CPU actually work?
When linus says "I'm fine" you know he is raging.
I have been doing this for more than 10 years and have built an apparatus with which I can put individual pins in a hot syringe cannula where the pin fits right in and can thus place the pin where it is missing, hands-free. In this way, it is possible to heat this one PIN so much that it melts the soldering paste without the risk of other PINs being unsoldered or touched. Once the soldering paste has melted, I turn off the soldering iron on the cannula (basically a normal soldering tip in which I have drilled a hole in which the cannula is inserted) and wait until the CPU is cold again. In addition, the base board material is not charred, so my repaired CPUs cannot be distinguished from unprocessed ones. Perfect results with a centered and 90 ° position of the PIN.
Initially titled: “Dead CPU? TRY THIS!”. Then they realised you shouldn’t actually do anything shown in the video.
this is LTT.... marketing and click bait
They intentionally show mistakes to prevent others from making the same ones.
i fixed my cpu pins with a tiny flathead and it works now, im never taking it out ever.
