I wouldn't have even tried straightening the corner. I've got some cpus that will worked in that condition, but you have to make sure not too stress it any more with the tightening of the cooler.

Hey guys!

I recently bought a new 10th gen intel CPU and i tried to insert it in a 1152 socket, indeed it bent its 2 corners slightly. (See the pics below ). Got a new motherboard with proper socket now but the build wont boot. Very likely because of the CPU. Is there any way to work around this?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: Gently straightening the CPU corners worked. Everything seems to be working just fine.
For everyone asking about the new motherboard, its the cheapest 1200 socket board i could fine, the Gigabyte H410M S2H.
