So I recently bought a CPU from Newegg, And some of the Pin were bent/Broken. I was able to unbend the ones I could and get my Computer too boot, and everything Seemed fine, except Even though the CPU was Quad Core, No matter what I did, It would act like a Dual Core. I recently did a RMA, and I'm waiting for the replacement, assuming it had something to do with the damaged pins. I just wanted to know could the bent pins affect my CPU not using cores?
 


Actually, pins were damaged on Arrival, surprisingly. Can't say I was surprised though, my overall experience with Newegg was pretty bad for my order. Thanks for the response.
