I Accidently bent pins on My Asrock z170M Pro4s board, when they were bent i bent 3 in total and i was able to bend 2 of them back but 1 I am not able to. When I did bend the 2 back I put the cpu back in and it booted up and acted normal when It was turned on it and it was turned on multiple times without the other one being touched. They were not broke pins. I just want to know if it would effect the Motherboard in anyway because I am looking to sell it for a upgrade and I don't wanna be the skummy guy on the internet. i already sold the CPU so I can't test anything else. I do have a video if that helps also.

Edit, it did read the CPU at 3.50 and the Ram also

Selling a motherboard with bent pins?
$2, and you pay shipping.

Yes, it can affect things. Yes it is bad.
Because it acted "normal" means that either that particular pin does nothing, or you didn't access whatever function runs through that pin.
