I'm looking for anybody with experience with those flimsy Skylake CPUs and their inelastic properties.
I have in my possession a rather expensive motherboard, with a broken CPU mounted in it.
Socket looks fine, but obviously the board won't POST with this CPU (tested before disassembly).
I have a spare CPU, but I don't want to kill two birds with one brick(ed motherboard).
Has anybody broken their CPU / dealt with one? What was the outcome - Did you have to replace your motherboard? Did everything work OK afterwards?
Anecdotal evidence is OK, I'm just looking for a consensus.
