[SOLVED] Corner AMD 3600 Pin broke off!!

[talem84]

Heres a pic with the arro to the cpu pin that broke off. What pin is this?

You have to check it by yourself. If you lucky, the CPU will work, but with some issue.
That can be anything, maybe ground pin, data pin, or another.

An AM4 pinout map shows that pin as 'reserved', or, unused....

If the pin isn't supposed to be used/connected, then it shouldn't matter. A couple of broken Vcore or ground pins (more than half of the total pin count) would be fine too as long as you aren't aiming for heavy OC.

Im not planning to OC , maybe turn on Turbo. i have my 2600x up to 4.3. didnt mess with voltage just resets./

An unused/reserved pin missing would not be a factor.
