Step 2Prepare the CPU
In order to not have your CPU sticking out a quarter inch from your buckle, and in order to optimize contact for the eventual soldering, we will have to flatten out the pins.
For this, lay the CPU logo face down on a table, exposing the pins towards you. Take a blunt object, I used a Sharpie marker, and flatten out the pins torwards the center. Don't be shy to put some pressure, we want them all nice and flat, as uniform as possible. Check out the pictures if you don't understand. I have also recorded a video demonstrating how that is to be worked out.
Once that is done, we will prepare out pieces for soldering.
