I recently bought a gtx 1070 along with a new motherboard and i decided to take apart my computer and install my am4 along with 1070 on the mobo but when i tried to remove the stock am4 cooler it was diffcult to get off and i was very careful but the cooler woudint come off so i gently pulled the cooler than off came the cpu and than i noticed some pins were bent so i used a card and small needele to fix it and ended up braking 3 pins 6 pins are facing the other pins and its hard to make them even the 2 other pins are bent all the way down facing down to whare i cant unbend them im not sure what to do at this point
 


That is fine. It has been happening a lot lately for some reason. I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong with the forum server again. It is still posting duplicate threads.
