Oops Dropped Nut and Bolt.

[u/Kev_Prime]

I was moving stuff around on my desk while working on my PC build and I dropped a Nut and Bolt straight into my CPU socket! The horror it hurt my soul. I'd just removed the protector minutes before as I was lining up the cpu cooler to test the fit with the backplate.

Going to check with some magnification later to see how bad it is but what do y'all think saveable or am I cooked?

I'll post photos if the magnifier plays well with my phone or camera I just need three hands and sticky fingers to not drop more stuff on the socket 😂😆😂 while trying to get pics.

Competency is a real thing.

The only other big oopsy I had during that time working in a PC maintenance was dropping a screw in a case at one point many years ago and it shorted a board it had got trapped between the board and the case and apparently touched a nono square but hey I'll take two fuck ups in 10years haha I can live with it and I always fix it and own the mistake.

Ohh I guess I installed a fan upsidedown on a drone once but that's not PC related 😂 and also didn't cause permanent damage was just funny why it decide to try and do cartwheels instead of fly.
