You really have to be unlucky or do something stupid to bend the keys. You just have to pick up the CPU and put it back down at some place without any pressure.

You really have to be unlucky or do something stupid to bend the keys. You just have to pick up the CPU and put it back down at some place without any pressure. If you let it fall down or try to force it to go somewhere - sure you can kill it. But how often do you let something fall down every day? For me it's the same probability then damaging my car while parking in a spacious parking lot - which will be even more costly. Or dropping my laptop.
- nsxwolf 7y agoI recently watched my friend attempt to remove the stock cooler from his 2200G and it yanked clean from the socket, bending about 50 pins in the process. Unlucky, sure. Dropping things is unlucky, and that is all it takes. People drop things all the time.
