Hi all,

While trying to clean some dust of my AMD Athlon 64x2 processor, one of the pins came off. Just to see if it worked, I put the processor back. It seems to work ok till now. However, I am sure there is going to be a problem somewhere down the line, and my computer would probably hang up, but I am not sure. What do you think?

you should have posted yesterday "how to clean dust from AMD Athlon 64x2 processor"

i think some pins may be dummy, so not used. lets hope that was dummy pin.
