There is a pin all the way down on the bottom corner that isn’t there, anyone know what’s it responsible for and can it still run

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I actually had my 5600x ,from Newegg, come in with bent pins all around the corners. I had to take an exacto knife and bend them back.

[Jaman34500]

@Middcorewell the only critical pin is not there

[Jaman34500]

@SirWendallwill it run? Is there any way to put a pin back, I saw the legend for the critical stops for cpu and mine is missing a “critical” pin

I mean you can try, but I'm not held accountable if something breaks or shorts out. It may or may not happen. Could get lucky like Linus and it be a redundant pin.

If I understand the diagrams that @Middcore referenced, it the AZ_BITCLK pin, which apparently stands for "Azalia HD Audio Interface Bit Clock." Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the picture. Is that the pin that's missing?

I was gonna say it looks like it lines up with it being the DDDR B pin? Maybe?

I was looking at the Google Doc Spreadsheet

 

And according to a reply by Dijky on this reddit post, without the AZ_BITCLK pin, motherboard audio will not work.

[Jaman34500]

It’s all the way down from the corner arrow pointing the Bottom right

Oh, sorry about that

@YoungBlade @SirWendall I’m currently trying to make my own pc right now so I can’t test it, im still saving money for a mother board, and saving a Gpu I found for cheap and etc

Are you able to return the CPU for a new one? If you're still saving money for the parts, then the few weeks for an RMA shouldn't be a huge deal. If the random people on reddit referenced in this thread are correct, then without that pin you won't be able to have working audio on your motherboard. And while sound cards are cheap, I don't know whether that issue would also extend to expansion cards or external sound cards.

I got this on EBay, and i’m going to try to fix I think, either I just heat it up and find a extra pin I can use or I can play it safe and just put the pin inside the socket and place the cpu like normal

you can also put the pim into the right hole and make sure its connected to the CPU.

Not sure if that is a great way to do it but, I think it may be possible to loose fit, not fully recommended and if one can add something to the pin to make an easier/better connect DIY style.

Yeah, that’s what I mentioned. But I’m not sure if it would work and also where would I get another pin. I don’t got a spare one, and it’s not like someone’s selling 1 specific pin anywhere.

a good metal contact is maybe all needed, but sure, it can be hard to find something that fits or does the job without connecting to anything else creating a short.

Agreed - It's for the onboard audio to work but not a necessity for the chip itself to function.
If I'm not mistaken a soundcard will let you get around that problem.

DO NOT try to "Heat it up", you could make all the pins around it come loose too and then you will have a dead chip on your hands.
If you are not good with soldering, leave it alone because if you apply heat for too long to the pin, the heat will spread out through the PCB and affect other pins around it, that being the risk of this kind of work.
It should work as is so just go with it.

Thanks but like I’ve metioned would it work if I plopped a pin in the socket where the pin would normally be in would it still work?

[Quackers101]

sort of, loose bits might not always create contact or be too short by falling into the socket instead of making contact to the CPU.

[Jaman34500]

What about glue, I have a sort of persice glue from the gorilla brand, it would be thin so the pins still would have connection 

[Quackers101]

not recommended, maybe work?

in just that tiny area without spilling and able to stand the heat when in use?
