ok recently i relized my dfi board was foobar(shi*ty) so i ordered a ASUS AN A8N-SLI deluxe. So far great board.
Ok when i took out the old mother board the zalman cooler on my CPU was afixed to the CPU so in trying to take it off the CPU, the CPU acually just popped out still stuck to the Zalman. T in it self wasent a great thing but oh well it happend well in gentely prying the cpu of the zalman i slipped the padded screwdriver head and knocked the cpu off.. you would think this is what i wanted but no.. when it fell off i wasent ready for it and it fell and hit my motherboard..... (you can see this getting bad). When i picked it up i saw the real damage. about 30 pins in one corner were bent dawn half way at least.. these pins as most of you know are roughly the size of a really thin peice of mechanical pencil lead.. Iv just spent 2 hours with a straight edge and a magnifing glass.. and IT WORKS AGAIn!!!!!!! i just had to share this story. Once i get windows up and running gona do a burn in all night.
oh and i will post a review on the ASUS AN A8N-SLI deluxe later so far though sooooo much beter than the DFI POS...
