Hello world.
I just built my first ever PC.
And then I had to take it apart.
It appeared as though two RAM slots were dead, I requested an RMA to Gigabyte, and they approved it in less than 5 hours.
I took apart my pc, took out the motherboard, and cleaned the thermal paste off the CPU and it's cooler, and I took a look at the socket, and I noticed, after a lot of squinting, that there where what appears to be bent CPU pins.
And I thought to myself: 'Son of of a B!%#'
This is my first biuld, and I may be a noob, and an idiot, but I made sure to be EXTRA careful when placing the CPU. I'm CERTAIN that I didn't bend them.
Im now worried about the RMA, I just KNOW that they are going to void my warranty, and I'm going to have to spend another $130 on a motherboard.
Is there anything at all that I can do? I'm going to need to double my anxiety pill dose after this.
