1 broken pin on motherboard can i yet use it

[Shaahid_Faiz]

Hi guys i have a b7 motherboard in which recently ive noticed that happened to have 1 broken pin which happened by a minor accident when the cap was open is it yet usable?

It largely depends on which pin and on what part it's broken.

Anyone knows if it is possible to fix it? If so how to?

Still don't know which pin on what is broken. There's about 1000 pins just in the socket of Intel CPUs and as many on AMD CPUS with 100 or more over MB.

I yet dont know which pin is broken unless if theres a lga 1151 pin map layout in which i could know if its a ground or something else anyone knows a link or a image

I think he means a pin in the socket is broken, op you need to specify this in your original post, as there are a lot of other pins spread out all over the board.

Now onto the issue, I wouldnt recommend using the board, they can be fixed sort of if you can get your hands on an old scrap board where you can remove a pin to replace your broken one, but, the missing pin could be for PCI-e lanes, voltage, memory controller etc and could possibly fry a CPU if you put one in.

Thanks for the advice but is that applicable in an lga 1151 socket

They are all the same, just different pin counts, the way the pins sit are all the same.
