Kids, they say be careful with socket pins for a r

Argghhh
so I noticed recently that my PC could only use 4gb out of the 6gb installed.. Appearently there was something with the memory controller, and I choked it down to be a bent pin in the 1366 socket of mine.. The I managed to get it unbent, but it was broken off so it didnt do full length.. Now I can use 4,5gb of the 6gb lol..
I cant think of how I managed to BREAK the pin..
Can't rma either.. so I'll just have to live with this until I get a new mobo.

D:

shitty thread.

Before I bent the pin back;

:(

At least with my Phenom II I could bend the pins back since they weren't attached to the motherboard. Talk about 2 hours of bending pins. Fucking up more, and finally getting it to fit.
