Cpu bent pins and 3 broken pins am4

billymichael1999 · Sep 10, 2018

I recently bought a gtx 1070 along with a new motherboard and i decided to take apart my computer and install my am4 along with 1070 on the mobo but when i tried to remove the stock am4 cooler it was diffcult to get off and i was very careful but the cooler woudint come off so i gently pulled the cooler than off came the cpu and than i noticed some pins were bent so i used a card and small needele to fix it and ended up braking 3 pins 6 pins are facing the other pins and its hard to make them even the 2 other pins are bent all the way down facing down to whare i cant unbend them im not sure what to do at this point

Not much you can do at this point with this many broken pins, bent pins, and pins so bent you can't unbend them.

If they are broken, the CPU is toast.

There are You tube videos showing how to fix bent pins.

Here is one using a razor blade on a Ryzen 1700x (that he intentionally damaged).

Here is another using a mechanical pencil to straighten pins.

I bought a ryzen 3 1200 and im getting low gtx 1070 fps that drops below 40 in fallout 4 and im running it on optimal setttings is the cpu bottlenecking it

terry4536 · Sep 23, 2018

The Ryzen 3 1200 is a 3.1 GHz / 3.4 GHz turbo quad core. The operating frequency is low enough that it might be a possibility.

Check out the Windows Task Manager CPU % and Memory % usage. If the CPU % is high during gaming then it likely is. I would also look at the memory usage, that could account for it too.

Someone on the web said micron gtx 1070s have issues regarding memory i checked gpu z and it says i have one

terry4536 · Sep 23, 2018

billymichael1999 :

What do yo mean? All graphics cards are susceptible to low system resources due to inadequate RAM. For example if you only have one 4GB stick of RAM working, any graphics card isn't going to perform to it's capacity.

billymichael1999 · Sep 23, 2018

Im asking if my gpu has issues regarrding the gddr5 memory

terry4536 · Sep 23, 2018

And as far as GTX 1070 VRAM goes, the vast majority have 8GB of VRAM (which is fine).

As for Micron memory, there have been reports of problems with Micron memory modules. Who knows. There have been GPU BIOS released to address the issue.

I'm sure a certain amount of the rumors are more based on AMD / Nvidia rivalry.

billymichael1999 · Sep 23, 2018

Could the micron memory be the
Culprit

terry4536 · Sep 23, 2018

For example here is a discussion on the topic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/59k9by/how_serious_is_gtx_1070_micron_issue/

and another...

https://hardforum.com/threads/nvidia-gtx-1070-vram-lottery-micron-or-samsung.1908758/

The thing is there seems to these type of discussions going back many years. I remember same thing going on about the GTX 970 VRAM too. Regardless of the fact that the GTX 970 had excellent performance.

billymichael1999 · Sep 24, 2018

I looked up my processer and it should run the minimum for fallout 4 i get low fps in other games like bf1 and wolfinstein 2 the gtx 1070 should be able to keep a solid 60 fps on ultra fallout 4 and geforce experiance already gave me the optimal settings i bought this gpu at best buy and i still have the box and manual but im not sure if thay will understand my issue

billymichael1999 :

If the return period has expired, it is up to them if the will accept a return. But you still have the manufacturer warranty for repair or replacement. If that is what you are referring to.

billymichael1999 · Sep 24, 2018

Should i contact nvidia since i have the newfounders edition

terry4536 · Sep 24, 2018

billymichael1999 :

Sure you can give it a shot. I don't know if you even have the Micron memory modules.

billymichael1999 · Sep 24, 2018

Checked the cpu usage on fallout 4 and when i attacked a enemy it went up 100 percent and my gpu usage is up in the 40

terry4536 · Sep 24, 2018

billymichael1999 :

That isn't out of the norm. CPU % and Memory % fluctuate with the demand on the system. The GPU usage also fluctuates for the same reason. Although it is more the result of the complexity of the display. The result is that the FPS also fluctuates with the complexity of the display.

billymichael1999 · Sep 28, 2018

A question why does my gtx 1070. Fan still spin at low temp im at 35c my rx580 didnt do that only when it rised at 60c

terry4536 · Sep 28, 2018

billymichael1999 :

I would guess that at some point the temperature ramp for the fans was changed.

billymichael1999 · Sep 28, 2018

Im not sure because when i bought the gpu on day 1 and installed in my mid tower it automatically started spining and most gpus have a setting that makes it spin only at 60c

billymichael1999 · Sep 28, 2018

Would a ryzen 5 1600 fix the low fps gpu issue

terry4536 · Sep 28, 2018

billymichael1999 :

The R5-1600 would be an improvement over the R3-1200.

billymichael1999 · Oct 8, 2018

So my cpu runs at 3.1 ghz but on ryzen master it says 1.55 ghz do i have to unlock it
