I fixed a Ryzen 7 2700 with two broken off pins!

First, I tried if it worked without these two pins, but it just would not post. I tried inserting two pins from an old AMD CPU into the MB socket so it made contact with the CPU, but it woulnd't post neither. 

It took me a while to get all the necessary items to fix it: soldering station (with flux, tin, etc.), 0,3mm copper wire, an AM4 socket motherboard to test it...

I followed the same steps than this video: 

 

Here are two pictures of the fixed pins:

any problems with OC stability from possible introduced impedance?

I only posted it in a friend's house because I don't have RAM. I don't have the case neither. If you want, I can do a little update when I try it.

would be interesting to see if it clocks well regardless of the pin used. I would anticipate, at worst, slight voltage problems, but it would be cool if it was business as usual in this CPU.

Nice work. Awesome the cpu is operational, that's always a good feeling!!
