I saw a 4790k on ebay, but its broken.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-4-GHz-Quad-Core-BX80646I74790K-CPU-Processor-Damaged-/191482705388?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c954235ec

Could somebody let me know if it's fixable, you can see the damage in the last pic.

and if it is, plz dont just get it for urself.  finders keepers i guess

 

I can help with programming and hardware.

I would say that is dead - but some people can do wonders with a soldering iron. If it weren't for the lower left corner damage it may just work. 

 

don't waste your time. 

 

Must have been a delid gone bad.... 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se

Personally I would avoid it. Some of the edge contacts are ripped off, but an even bigger issue is that a large amount of the solder mask/trace area has been damaged, so the chances of fixing this processor is slim(non existent pretty much).
