Ed Reasonable eyesight, steady hand and lots of patience that’s why I couldn’t have a go myself.

Now Now Dave I didn’t think you was a defeatest, you have nothing to lose and might end up being proud of yourself.

I keep thinking I might have a go.

Glad the M’2 can live in the next mobo and glad my thought of gaming (only) are incorrect.

Cheers

It’ssaid to have this mobo in

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/H410M-A-PRO.html

This says .2 does that mean I can use the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB M.2 Gaming Solid State Drive (SSD)

However it says gaming is that no good for the OS

Great Dave I look forward to it.

Are you any good at straightening CPU socket pins, if so you could have a go at the MSI for me.

Or does any one fancy a go and feels confident.

Bear in mind I think I did a proper job of bending them.

Thanks for all the suggestions and thanks Dave for the offer to build. I would have took u up, however its all gone back. I did ask for a rma off ccl for the cpu not had a reply. Reading there returns policy it said it has to be unopened/unused. Its not been used but is open and has been in the socket so I dont think they gonna rma.  While doing a search I came across a rig on ebuyer no OS so I had this  https://www.ebuyer.com/1287487-xenta-mt-intel-core-i3-10th-gen-8gb-ram-240gb-ssd-gt-xr-d5304

Thanks PM & Ed

The conformation abouyt pins bent as you say in a few places. It’s too much for me even with glasses to try and straighten them. Also I am caggy handed and I suffered paralysis down the left and still have mil;d symtoms in my hand / fingers.

The CPU looks ok, what you think.

There is about 12mb used with all these pictures, can you delete them (or this thread)

I can confirm (in daylight) I have -ucked up the CPU socket, bent many pins. Most likely when first installing the CPU as it has never worked. I think the CPU doesn’t have pins so will that be ok or may I have -ucked that aswell.

I hope it does work, once gfx card is in?

John, as I said to you before. This i3 10105F processor you linked to does not have integrated graphics – so you’ll need a dedicated graphics card.

A confession

The  i3 10105F was cheaper (by half)  than the i3 10105, so I then forgot all about integrated. However I should have added up the savings I could have made not buying a GFX card. I was trying to save but ended up not.

All becuase of an F, that I was warned about.

Anyway my thanks go to all  participants in this and my other recent threads.

Lovely JayCee thanks

I wish I was going for the one you’re having, maybe 1 day I can get a bigger case. At the moment I use what I can for now.

I have only VGA but I do have the adapter.

Hopefully I can fire the rig up soon.

Cheers
John

[johnbarry]

Is this one any good

It does match the suggestion, so maybe a silly question.

Cheers
John

[johnbarry]

Thanks JayCee

O yes I forgot what David said (when it comes to it) glad you pointed it out.

Thanks for the suggestions I will have a look.

Cheers
John
