Hi, I recently got a ryzen 5600x cpu I installed it incorrectly and bent all the pins. I managed to straighten them with a sewing needle and got it to work. I’m wondering what I should check to see if it’s impaired in any way.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

A lot of stuff is hard to, but a RAM module not registering or unexplained crashes are possible causes. Not all pins actually do anything; if you got it to go in easily, you may have done a good enough job with the repairs that the CPU is just fine now.
