Pulled out gpu fan pins.

[CactusMascul]

I got some fan replacements for my rx 570 4gb and when I tried to unplug the gpu fan socket it would not budge at all , so I took off the heat sink and tried again , I pulled gently , then I put more strength into it until the socket came out like this .

The pins are completely out. Then I tried to separate the fan from the broken socket (they were the hardest Lego pieces to separate) and I am left with this , I tried to plug in like that the new fans but they are not getting any power. Any advice?

Update (5th April) : Dropped it at a pc repair service.

Final result : The shop repaired it , only costed me 3 euro.

Solder pads seems fine to me

I'd try resolder, make sure the pinout is correct.

Uh oh, that's a pretty major screw up. You ripped the whole header out, it's going to need to be re-soldered.

 

It should be a simple re-solder. But you won't know until it's done if that will work or not. I'd suggest if you have never soldered before taking it to someone who has, either a friend or family member you trust with it or to a shop that has experience is your best bet.

no it doesnt, it gets compacted. 

 

 

Gonna need a close up pic of the second pic to know for sure but I'd say you should be able to resolder it.

What the hell has this card gone through?!

All of the connectors are completely corroded!

I got it very cheap some years ago , it looks horrible but works just fine.

 

I will see if I find anyone who can re-solder it.

If it doesn't work, you could try to power the fan from the mainboard if you've got a spare socket

buy a cheap soldering kit, they cost less than 20 euro where i live and if you canwait a few days there are even cheaper ones on AliExpress with 10 day shipping. its a really easy solder job

looked for any fan similar sockets but the pins are too far on the motherboard (B450M pro max)

I have no experience with that kind of procedure , there is a pc repair service close to me , I will see if they can help me.

Of course, you'd have to adjust, but it's doable

You can strap a desktop fan to it. The arctic p series are popular for this usecase

I forgot that it auto compacts, it only didn't do it for me because it was fresh reply. My bad.

That's my bad, it was such a fresh reply it didn't compact for me, and I forgot it auto hides it.

It's fine. Wasn't hard to do, just in case you are using some sort of special tweak or there's a bug that made it uncompacted.

Cheers.
