P4 2.6 northwood "slightly damaged "

[g33p33]

i have a pentium 4 2.6 800 fsb with HT, ive used it for a long time but one of the pins have snapped off, luckily for me it still works and has done since it damaged i was using it until i upgraded to a 3.4 Northwood. i bought it for £180 brand new a while back, its going for £30 ONO @ i23. you can test it at i23 before buying it to quad drouple check that it works.

I know alot of people would be put off by the fact that it has a pin missing, personally i would too. but it is actually in GWO.

will sell @ i23

thanks.

no chance that the pin snapped of in the socket of your mobo and your still getting a slight connection making it work?

no mate, iam using the same motherboard for my new chip, i took it out and checked it to make sure the pin wasnt there.

It's probably a ground pin or something, which there are quite a few of, so it still works with one missing... Still, it's not designed that way, and so you're running it out of spec.

yeah but for £30 its a bargain !

I've seen people run all sorts of processors with missing pins. The processor in mg G3 mac had a pint bent out sideways and worked perfectly well. I bent it back and it didn't make a busting lot of difference.

Personally though, I'd only buy a CPU with a missing pin if I was getting it cheap.
