New build, no POST, friend who "knows a lot about computers" put it together for him.
Had to dig through my IG to find this one and it's hands down one of my favorite "no POST" machines that came in.
This one was a Ryzen 9 Threadripper build and yes, the pins in the socket were bent as well.
We got the processor cleaned up well enough that he could RMA it, as it was toast (we tested it in a known good board after it was clean), but he had to buy a new board. He had us build it the second time and told us he was making his buddy pay for both the labor and the new part, as he should have.
This is why you do not trust that "friend who knows a lot about computers" when their knowledge seems to stop at "can change password on an email account without needing their hand held".
Never seen anyone put thermal paste into the socket before, haven't seen it seen it since.

Importantly, that investor viewpoint is not new. It cycles in when conditions are right (and vice versa). It also brings the ineffective warnings of an overpriced market with it.Looking toward a good 2022 stock market, there is no apparent reason to expect these issues to change.
How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
