Si bien esto hace que los procesadores sean m\u00e1s resistentes, debemos tener m\u00e1s cuidado con los sockets de las placas madre. Los \u2018pines\u2019 de los sockets de CPU modernos no son r\u00edgidos; tienen una delgada hoja de cobre doblada en su extremo, que ejerce presi\u00f3n similar a un resorte para un <a title=\"Intel Comments on Alder Lake Flex\" href=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/en\/intel-comments-on-alder-lake-flex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"5526\">good contact with the pad<\/a> corresponding to the CPU.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"><\/aside>\n<p>Damaged motherboard pins can sometimes be carefully aligned using precision tools. However, there&#039;s a real danger of them breaking if they&#039;re flexed too many times or with too much force, due to metal fatigue. If the pin is too damaged to be replaced or breaks, most people would consider the motherboard lost. But Mu Ziwen demonstrates a complete pin replacement process using a fairly basic set of tools\u2014and it seems like he completed it very quickly! \u23f1\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>The damaged motherboard socket is causing the system to fail to properly recognize the installed memory, with only one pin missing. What a shame! Some pins aren&#039;t essential and have duplicate functions on others, for example. The key symptom of the broken pin in this case was that one of the DIMM slots wasn&#039;t working. \u26a0\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Mu Ziwen takes us through the following process:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Repairing a broken pin affecting the memory bus<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Removing the damaged pin \u2013 using hot air and tweezers<\/li>\n<li>Load the new pin \u2013 heat gun temperature set to just under 300

The hot air station&#039;s temperature, just under 300 degrees Celsius, was perfect for this delicate removal and replacement job. The Bilibili user warned that anyone using hot air approaching 400 degrees Celsius could melt the plastics on the motherboard socket. \u26a0\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMasterTrendInfo%2Fvideos%2F1404696130891665%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the video, we can see how the Windows Task Manager process monitor confirms that two of the motherboard&#039;s DIMM slots are occupied, totaling 8GB of DDR4-2666 RAM, running in dual-channel mode.
