[WillLTT]

Im building a Retro Windows XP build i got this MSI Motherboard paired with this cpu, i installed everything and started the computer No output. And the cpu cooler goes louder and louder And the cpu smells burnt the cpu does not fit any other way in the motherboard

You're missing a pad and are you using any coolpaste?

[Stormseeker9]

That cpu looks crap. Even looks like it’s missing a part

What is the brand and model of the motherboard ?

Does a pad like that have anything to say???

Pretty sure a pad cannot speak  

The problem is that if its missing then the CPU cooler wont be flush but will be at an angle and this making minimal contact with the CPU.

Hence the burned smell  

 

Excuse the bad drawing but this is roughly what happens: (it only makes contact at the one point i circled)

i had a giggle at this

but so if i replace the pad problem solved?

 

 Theres a bump under the cpu does it matter?

I'd just let it go until it quits, while preparing to replace or upgrade.  The bump looks like delamination due to abnormal thermal expansion; something is shorted. While this may cause a fire, it will be small and short lived. Please have a small fire extinguisher on hand before proceeding.

yeah i figured it smells extremly burnt

the system does not post with the cpu in it.

im off to buying a new from ebay

The only computer stuff that I have actually seen burn was a controller chip on an old HDD: burned very brightly for about a second and stunk real bad.

Meh, that was an exaggeration of the situation  nothing to fix.

Besides the bump (also browninsh) shows it clearly was to a burned  

[WillLTT]

case closed ive ordered a new cpu

I thought the pads were there just to protect the die from cracking when applying a cooler since the corners were fragile and prone to cracking. I chipped one of my 2200+s by screwing the cooler down a little too tightly so better be safe than sorry!
