My buddy has a slight issue with his cpu , he said he added a bit too much voltage and now it's stuck in the socket.  It's in a Rampage IV Black Edition ( no pun intended ) I removed the Koolance CPU-370 waterblock , there appears to be some slight water damage and a small hole in the chip but we're thinking if we can get it out then use a small bit of liquid metal (to fill the hole) and a file to level things and out it should be fine.  

What do you guys think ? Any chance we can save her ?

I would say that this is a lost cause.

Yea we kinda figured that , things been kinda serious around here lately so we thought why not try some humor
 
It was actually in a fire ( house totally destroyed ) we were shocked to still see the numbers on the chip , here's a shot of what was left of his computer

Oh....at the first pic I thought....yeah abit too much voltage lol. Wow, that is too bad.

LOL! Yeah I was thinking his friend must have gotten hold of Thor's hammer or something

The fire was about 8 months ago so all is well , he was fully insured and no one was hurt .    It was his idea for me to post the pics for a laugh , I was gonna send in the cards to evga for an rma as a joke but they fell off the waterblocks before I could get them home.

You should talk to Asus about an RMA on the board, there should be protection against those issues.  I mean, they did put thermal armor on the sabertooth boards to prevent against heat.. lol.

That is a good idea.....  .....  ....  .....  I don't think it worked.  How did the fire start or was it determined?
 I would rub some sand in it, that usually works for me. Well, on injuries anyway.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

This is fantastic.  Poor computer and poor house.  From the first pic, I thought this would have been from flooding - the block has a corroded feel to it.
