Hello,
So I purchased my Gigabyte Aorus Z270X Gaming 5 Mobo, picked it up.
When playing with the mobo, i accidentally bent about 6 cpu pins. using a mechanical pencil and a needle, i was able to re position them, but when glowing light against the formerly bent pins, the light shade is not consistent, but looking top down, they are aligned. One or 2 pins feel maybe a half mm higher then th rest.
Will my Mobo and CPU still function properly if the heads of the pins are aligned but may not be 100%? Id say they are about 95% aligned now. I know i cant return the mobo and exchange, but i paid $300 for the mobo, and i really dont want to lose my investment the day after i got my mobo. I dont have the ability to test it as I only have the motherboard.
Thoughts?
