AMD Phenom II X4 695 Black Edition: Used for <1 year, never overclocked, just removed from heatsink and motherboard today.

UPDATE: Pins are pretty much perfect now. CPU tested earlier today, worked just fine.

Here are some more pictures of the pins: http://imgur.com/a/VcnbI

More information below, however it is outdated now.

Being 100% honest, I did have to very slightly bend a few pins to get it out. I tried to get it out for about 30 minutes, using every method I could find, but the thermal paste was like super glue. I very gently pulled on the heatsink until the heatsink and processor came out, then I removed the processor gently by twisting slightly, then using a hair dryer and eventually using a razor blade to get it off. I then cleaned the processor and heatsink, so there is no thermal paste. I (gently) bent the pins back slightly using a straw from a can of compressed air, and attempted to insert it into the motherboard socket. It inserted okay, but it's not quite as easy as it was before. It should work just fine, but I cannot test it as I do not have any extra thermal paste to use for testing. It was last used January of 2014, at that point running strong. PM me if you have any questions or are worried about it working.

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard: Used alongside the Phenom II X4 965 from day one, never had a problem. Will sell with the processor for an additional $35, or alone for $50.

Selling these due to the fact that I was given an Intel Core i5-4670K and Asus Z87-A as a gift last month, so I have no use for these and would like to use the money gained from these to go towards upgrading my own computer more, and helping relatives upgrade theirs.

These come from a very clean, smoke free home.

Feel free to make an offer if you feel my prices are too high.

Have a nice day!

ok, so how much is it again? you list one thing in titel and other in post.

what version is the motherboard?

 

[Mephikun]

Processor is $95, can include motherboard for $35 or alone for $50.

Board is rev 4.1.

I wouldn't include the part about the bent pins if i were you..

 

[Mephikun]

The whole point is being honest. They're only slightly bent, and this is an enthusiast board so an informed buyer knows what they're doing, whether they want to try and bend them back or not.

Besides, it still goes in the socket just fine, the pins are only ever so slightly bent. Not a big deal

Well, you should at least test it out before selling it, assuming that it works. Since we are being honest and all.

It specifically says that it isn't tested, and that I have no thermal paste to test it. I lost my thermal paste, I can test it soon if I get my hands on some. It was last used in January. It worked just fine then, I'm sure a couple of pins being ever so slightly bent won't cause problems. If it turns out it didn't work I would offer a return to the buyer. I'm just trying to make honest money, I listed every detail.

If it's not sold within a couple of weeks, I'll attempt to test it. I've already gotten the motherboard all sealed up, but I'll take it out if necessary.

Sorry if I came off as rude or anything. But a bent pin can make a cpu unusable. I've learned that the hard way..

 

[Mephikun]

Nah, no problem. I got a bit defensive there, so I don't blame ya.

I just spent a good hour and a half straightening the pins more, being very gentle and using a credit card, and by following steps I found in a guide. Here are some more pictures of the pins after this, and I will be uploading a few videos tomorrow of seating the cpu into the socket to show how minor it is.

OP updated. CPU tested earlier, posted pictures of it working, as well as a video of the CPU being inserted into the socket and an album of the straightened pins.
