how hot can it get?

[pepsi_Based-man]

So I wanna resolder a broken pin on my Phenom II but since my heat gun is a cheap 2 temp setting (750-1000F) from ebay i wanna know how how a cpu can get when turned off before it damages any components

No need to yell.

 

A VERY quick and dirty Google search tells me that CPUs use a few different melt point solders, with the highest temp ones melting around 200-250 C (~400-500 F) for things like BGA/LGA pins. This is well below what your heat gun outputs.

 

Using a wide-pattern heat gun with a minimum temp of 750 F will be very difficult to locally heat the pin intended for repair and will likely cause more collateral damage.

 

Even a basic soldering iron with a small tip will be way better.

Then what the hell does it matter how hot your heat gun gets if you don't care about how to do this correctly? Just go for it and blast away. CPUS already broken anyway, why should we care what you do with it if you're gonna be like that?

Most integrated circuits can handle a short burst of heat up till about 300C.  I wouldn't go past that.  If you are worried you can heat sink the chip with a block of aluminium, this will help draw heat from the chip itself while allowing you to solder the pins.
