I just bought this cpu, didn't see it had a crack on it so will this be a problem?
Must i just throw the cpu away and forget about it or will it work??
Yes whe all know why it is cracked:mad:

I got it for cheap so i am not going to make a big deal out of this.

Sorry but I don't see a crack :( If you're talking about the black zig-zag on the heatspreader, well that's solid metal so I doubt it's a crack - more likely a mark or scratch. It should work, why don't you try it out?
 
Thanks Oj0, this is part of my 2nd pc build, still need to buy a mobo
 
It looks to be a crack, when i push something over it it stops like my nail or something
 
Even with that though, the top part of the CPU is merely the heat spreader. The actual "working" part of the CPU could still be undamaged. Pop it in and check, you won't damage any of your other components in any case.
 
O.K thanks guys looks like i am retarted it is only a scratch.

My bad!!!
 
Definately try that CPU ! It has half of Hitler's SS badge on it so its probably a cpu prototype developed using secret high-performing Nazi technology :p

/sarcasm - You should still try it , thermal paste would fill the scratch anyway :)

^ agreed! + i have tested a few cpu's with scratches like that & had no issues but obviously this is at your own risk.

@ "retarted", that there is some funny sh!!t :)
 
Maybe it got some black magic, looks to be the Harry Potter of AMD cpu's :D. Glue a wonkey wooden stick to the thing and check if it can make your car turn into a Ferrari :D
