![]() What we can't be sure of, because we don't know how the damage came about, is if the rest of the CPU suffered any mechanical shock/damage from the event. You can see that there is no visual indication of exposed copper, meaning the damage did not get into the wire traces that exist within the PCB layers. I'm 99.99% confident your CPU is just fine. (I nicked it while removing my IHS for a delidding experiment) I nicked my 3770k with a razor blade right in that same general region, not at wide of a gouge as yours has but it was just as deep. it doesn't look like there is any circuitry in the light green area of the pcb, but what about the dark green area on the front side? is there any circuitry there? could this dent stop the cpu from working or do you think this dent won't be such a big deal? to be more precise, the dent is located on the edge of the pcb, mainly in the light green area, but it seems like the dark green area (between the light green area and the heatspreader) is also affected a little bit. it is on the right of the golden front side contacts. The dent is located above the heatspreader. ![]() the dent on the pcb is what worries me the most. there are also a few little scratches on the heatspreader and one little scratch on one of the golden contacts on the back side of the cpu, but these little scratches don't bother me that much. Unfortunately, the pre-owned cpu i've bought has a dent on the pcb. the pre-owned intel celeron g530 was really cheap, so i thought it could serve me well until i can afford the upgrade. indeed, this is not a big issue for me because i hope that everything will work fine.īy the way, i've bought a p67 board to be able to upgrade the intel celeron cpu to an overclockable intel cpu in the future. case, ssd, hdd and gpu) to be able to test the hardware i already have. I also ordered a new be quiet! straight power e9 400w psu.Īs you can see, i still have to buy a few more components (i.e. i can't afford buying new hardware only, so i decided to buy a few pre-owned components.Ĭpu: pre-owned intel celeron g530 (2x 2.4 ghz)Ĭpu cooler: pre-owned but unused intel i5-2500k stock cooler (12v 0.28a) I'm new to the forums, so let me first apologize for my froken english because i'm not a native speaker!
