Moms computer was screwed up and needed a new mobo. I got everything in a turned it on....smelled smoke. Stupid me, i noticed that the hsf wasn't on correctly, i put it on backwards so that the cpu wasnt even touching it. What are the chances of the cpu being fried? I also noticed that the cpu fan was disconnected. Im such a fuckin tard, today was a bad day. Anywho, do i get to shop for a new cpu?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Put the cpu fan on correctly and plug it in. Try to see if it works now.

if you smelled smoke thats a bad sign. Also cant you test the fan before you boot up?

Can a CPU be fried that quickly???
You would think that it would simply be a "Poor Performer", like a retarded school-child, neglected as a baby.
