    Broken CPU Pin

    I broke a pin removing my FX57 a few months back now and i was wondering if you could help me get it fixed if it is at all possible ? it seems a shame to waste such a good CPU, especially when i paid you £730 for it. I still have the box with HSF i think somewhere.
    would i need to send it to you or to AMD direct?

    thanks

    I don't think that any warranty is provided for any user damage. Hope I'm wrong though for your sake!

    There is a very good chance AMD will repair it for you,

    I have spoken with them regarding damaged pins before im sure they claimed they would replace a CPU with upto 3-4 missing pins,

    Dont quote me incase im wrong but give them a ring you have nothing to lose,
