Looking to see if my CPU is ALRIGHT

[myleafs_telab]

So when I was taking out my CPU out of my socket AM3 motherboard I looked at my cpu and I noticed a bent pin. So I put it back in the socket put the heatsink and put in the graphics card and it seems to work fine completely stable and my CPU is a phenom II x6 1090T is this bad?

Nope, that's absolutely fine. I've done the same for family and friends.

So long as they dont break off there is no issue in straightening them out.
It happens with AMD processor fairly easily. Just know the pins become more brittle as they bend.

The pin is bent on to another pin and I don't wanna risk bending another pin

 

[Gam3r01]

Just aim low on the bent pin with something very small, it takes some time and practice but its fine.

My CPU is still fine and stable what happens if I get that pin to fit back in that socket would it make my overclocking more stable?

 

[Gam3r01]

Some pins arent actively in use, and others are vital.
My question is how are you using it with a bent pin? The processor wont sit level if its not in the socket.

 

[myleafs_telab]

Yeah I noticed that I had to put pressure on the CPU to make it fit in luckily I didn't bend anymore pins and I also have a hyper 212 evo sitting on my cpu as well.

I used to have the pinnout so I could tell you what the pin would do, but I seem to have lost it.
Overall, if you can try to fix it I would, but if its currently working obviously is not that important of a pin.
