Fixing a Pin UPDATED PLEASE READ

Depending on how badly it's bent, it's an easy fix. Take a mechanical pencil and push-in or remove the lead. Push the pencil head into the pin, so the pin goes inside the pencil head. Now simply straighten the pencil and pull it off. The pin should be fixed.

Core 2 Duo heatspreaders

Do you really use grease when lapping these things? How do you hold on to the CPU without damaging it?

Interesting: eVGA's entire 7900 series (except 7950) is on "Backorder"

EVGA Rocks!

EVGA get's an AVERAGE rating by me. I bought a 7900GT KO from them that went bad after 2 days. I promptly RMAed it to EVGA and my replacement crapped out after 2 days. There is a serious problem/flaw with the 7-series video cards, which EVGA admits, but they still occasionally point fingers at...

COME ON ANANDTECH

FYI, I've decided to pass on this 7-series debacle. I'm returning my RMA card to EVGA and the original to Newegg for a refund. I guess I'll have to hold out a little while longer with my lowly X800XL :\

COME ON ANANDTECH

Hey folks, I've been an AT reader for years, but I decided to create an account to respond to this alleged issue. On 5/7 I purchased an EVGA 7900GT KO P/N 256-P2-N564-AX (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130015 ) and just a few days later I received it. After about...
