Hi
My intel branded motherboard pins snapped off i saw a eBay ad of a intel motherboard extreame edition with 3 pcies so i brought it and knew that 1 of the pins are bent so i tried repairing it and failsled and managed to snap off 6pins in total well not fully snapped the golden top bit is snapped so is there anyway i can get a function old dell made lga 775 mobo and take those pins off and put them in my intel mobo which is lga 775 as well. If so how and what would i need
Thank You

I highly doubt you would ever be able to do that. The pins are way too close together and way too small, I have never heard about anyone being successful soldering socket pins. You may be able to straighten bent pins, but I doubt you would ever be able to reattach pins that were broken off, any soldering iron I have seen would be much too big.

I disagree with that completely because you can get a whole socket replacement and its just the actual pin nothing else and its the top bit thats snapped off

Well good luck, I have never heard of anyone having success repairing pins that have broken in half I cant even find an example on google.
