After taking my time to think about this and taking all things into consideration (including information online and the comments in here), and asking tech stores about it, I have come to the following conclusion. Regarding bent/broken CPU-pins: As we can see from the pictures, none of the pins...

Thanks for the reply. The news is, I do have the Isopropyl alcohol and soft toothbrushes now, but I have not decided to clean anything yet, for now only if any problems occurs, which I guess there won't be then. I had Cinebench running to stress test the CPU at 100% for 12 hours straight last...

Thanks for the reply. So you would just not bother trying to remove it now, and only do it if any problem occurs? I'm on that computer right nowing doing all kinds of tests, reboots, stress tests etc, no problems as of now. I also appreciate comments from more people on what to do here. It...

Yes, my thought process and plan right now is to go with it and keep it at it is, and remind myself to not even bother removing the CPU from the motherboard socket. Only if I end up getting any issues this time, I will get a new clean soft tooth brush and the Isopropyl alcohol and remove it...

So, this is what my monitor AOC 27" QHD 155Hz Monitor (Q27G2E/BK) looks like from the backside: View: https://i.imgur.com/1qdmCsw.jpeg View: https://i.imgur.com/tuqVL6o.png View: https://i.imgur.com/5NslAbj.jpeg If you look just under the AOC logo, you can clearly see in the ventilation...

Thanks for the reply! :)

Hi! After having some bad luck with my last monitor from a different brand and another store, that monitor came with a dead pixel, I tried my luck with a new monitor from another brand and another store. After thoroughly going through the package on my new monitor, everything seemed brand new...
