  Amazing work I like how you found a nice method at the end of heating the tweezers! Thanks for the shoutout 😎

  Repinning a CPU is nuts. I've never even considered attempting that, but after watching this I feel a little brave.

  Remember to test them with 2 sticks of RAM to make sure the memory controller is working correctly

  for those with missing pins, you could check out their pin diagrams to confirm if those missing pins are actually important, most pin on a cpu are usually ground and are there for redundency

  Bro was born for soldering CPU pins. Perfect work for a first timer!

  Go to the store and buy yourself a Pentel Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm. Remove the graphite from the pencil. Place the hollow shaft over the bent pin and adjust as needed.  I keep a second pencil just for soldering the pins in "its all metal". You may want a 0.7mm and a 0.9mm mechanical pencil as well, as sometimes the pins are really bent up and you need a bit more wiggle room to wrangle them. PIck up some reballing solder balls to go with your mask.

  You legit went from not knowing how to solder pins to a pro in minutes. Incredible!

  The gaps between the pins is just diabolical. It looks like less than 0.1mm. I can barely solder with 1mm gaps, so this work is impressive. IDK why AMD puts the pins so close though, even a 0.5mm gap would be so much better.

  When I saw the sticky notes come out and you write "Needs 3 pins" I was thinking, okay this chump is going to shelve these forever because no fkn way he'll be able to solder these pins back on, especially after watching the first attempt. But, I apologize dude, you fkn killed it. Mad props for being able to fix these. Cool ass video.
