Broken MoBo pin...

[david_1276]

Hi I have a board that I was replacing the CPU on, and I came across some bent pins upon removal of the CPU, so I bent them back no problem but then came across one that looked too far gone to straighten out, it was bent back on itself and when I tried to straighten it it came off at the hands of my toothpick. I am using an Asus HB1M- PLUS board with a socket of LGA 1150, and the pin is the one above the small plastic notch on the left hand side of the holder, not the one dead in the middle but the one nearer the bottom (I'll do my best to elaborate if needs be.) I know I'm probably too far gone but I'll just make sure before purchasing another MoBo. Thanks

P.S completely unrelated but anyone know of any low profile good GPUs? I'm currently looking at an R5 240 but any improvements for the price would be great thanks

If you can boot the pc up, and use it, you are fine, but just monitor the temp, because every pin has their own function. If you can't use the PC, you will need the new MB.

For the low profile GPU, how much will you pay for it? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137320&ignorebbr=1
