Part of cpu broken, does It still works?

[dXDb]

It's a I5-10400F

 

I searched some photos and mine is like this:

 It always stays at the motherboard but yesterday I took it out and i saw this.

So it would be a problem?

Hello dXDb,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

The best way to know if the processor works or not, is by testing it on a compatible board/system. Can you confirm if the PC boots, or do you have the possibility to test it?

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,

Hello dXDb,

Since we do not have repair stores to test the unit, the way to proceed is by initiating the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process for defective units.

First, make sure your warranty is still active by going to the Warranty Center (https://supporttickets.intel.com/warrantyinfo?lang=en-US). Then, directly contact Intel Customer Support (this process cannot be done through the forums).

Here are pages where you can look up contact information, including local/country phone numbers, by geography:
