Broken In
Hi folks,
I've been noticing some random PC crashes, that for some reason I attributed to my CPU overheating because the side of my case gets hot. Since I thought of this self-diagnosed heating issue, I made the bad decision to replace the thermal paste on my processor in case it wasn't properly applied the first time (In retrospect, this was a stupid idea, since the only time thermal paste was applied on this was with the aftermarket cooler pre-applied paste, since then my processor and cooler were both new).
In this endeavour, I cleaned the previous paste, applied it anew, and then replaced the processor and re-assembled my PC and it didn't boot
After dismantling my PC again to check the issue, I noticed that I accidentally bent half of the processor pins on my motherboard. I would appreciate any help in suggesting a new motherboard to fit my existing config. Details are below:
Expected Price: 10-15K (approx.)
