CPU Dead?

[weeag]

Hello all I am in need of help. My pc is dead. When I hit the power button nothing happens, no fans spin and no leds turn on; no sign of life. I decided to take it apart and put it back to together to see what is causing the issue. I tested it without gpu and ssd but same result. Initially, I thought it was the psu so I contacted Bitfenix and they sent me a paperclip test video. I performed the paper clip test on psu and the psu fan started spinning without any issues. So I narrowed down the issue to cpu or motherboard. Then I was messing around with pc when I noticed something odd. When I disconnect the 10pin head from psu while leaving 18pin head connected (24pin cable that goes into motherboard) and I switch on psu; cpu fan starts spinning, gpu led turns on/off, and psu does clicking noise. I then decided to reseat CPU when I noticed what looks like a burnt pin on cpu. My question is, is my cpu dead and does warranty cover it? Or should it still work and it might be the motherboard thats faulty? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hard to say based on the image if that's a burnt pin. That's not something I've experienced personally but I'd expect it's something that's covered under warranty. The problem is was it the CPU, the motherboard, or the PSU that caused it? Replacing the wrong part would mean it's likely to happen again.

 

Weather or not the CPU is dead can really only be said by putting it in a known working testbench.
