Some of the pins are for redundancy , .

Maybe it wont overclock as well .

Could be anything . But it wont be harming the rest of your computer so if its working its fine .


That can be re-soldered if you have the right equipment and very steady hands

so im using right now playing games and music on youtube temps max is about 50C and it havent crashed till now but i feel kinda weird in the fact that i don't have a pin XD and i dont want to overclock aswell

*Do not* try to resolder a CPU without experience. You will fry your whole system if you screw it up because the power flowing into your CPU is more than enough to melt your board if it arcs. Make sure it's an even break. If it makes contact with another PIN, you could definitely cause some problems. Tweezers are your friend.

Its possible that pin is for DATA to the unused RAM slots .

I say if it works dont worry about it

For the moment its working well but i will take it to the store on monday and see if i can get back some of my money or even another new one

This is not an answer to the question.

I have a similar problem during installation. A couple pins came out and were in the motherboard slot.
You said the prosessor still worked ?

Thanks
