So I bent 2 pins, 1 of them being a black block aka most likely doing nothing and the other one being a 1 Bit DDR0_DQ pin which means 2 of my dimm slots don't work.
I already ordered a new mobo since I am too scared to straighten them (Already tried, made it kinda better but it is still a bit iffy).

So what I wanna know, If I keep using this mobo for a few days with the dimm slots not working (Using a singe channel stick atm), will it hurt my pc any way in the long run since I just upgraded to a i7 9700K and RTX 3070.

The board I got is a Prime Z390-A and I ordered a Z390 Aorus Pro to replace it since it had good reviews and looks clean.

So until then, should I be worried at all or is it all good? I did some stress testing and on some of the dimm slots the pc would crash etc. but on 2 slots it was all goody so I kept it on that channel.

Just worried because I do not wanna fry anything.
