revieving dead cpu?

[joe_p231]

so i recently blew up my i5 4690k and had to buy a g3258 since it was the only thing i could afford and needed my pc back up and running.

 

my questions is, is there a way of reveiving a dead cpu like there is with graphics card, and i know its not 100% gonna work im just in need of a quad core again an am willing to try anything.

why don't you just RMA it?

i dont know if i can as i bought it second hand and have had it a while

No. if it's burned out, its burned out and there's nothing you can do.

 Nope.

Linus has a video on reviving PCBs. He also said that you shouldn't refer to the video as factual information so follow it at your own risk (he put it in an oven).

you can't. What was your use case when it died? Clock speed, voltage ect?

oh ok

well, if it's truly dead, you could always try baking it. Probably won't do anything, but you can't kill a dead CPU anymore, right?

i dont quite get what you mean but i think it died from me doing this.  honestly not sure on how it died, went to put a cable through a hole didnt even touch the case as far as im aware and the pc turned off and now the cpu doesnt work

Through what hole? Motherboards usually protect the CPU fairly well, unless you short it directly. Are you sure it's even dead?

With gpus it works because the gpu die is a bga chip soldered onto a pcb and heating reflows the solder connecting the chip onto the pcb, with a cpu there is no solder, baking it would destroy it ever more then it already is, it would be the same as trying to repair the actual gpu die whih is impossible.

It was kind of a joke
