So recenly i've bent some pins on my motherboard's socket and it stopped working (I was turning it on an after few seconds it was shutting down and starting again in a continous loop) but I've managed to repair them with a needle and a magnifying glass. My question is, will it be ok if I overclock my CPU again like it was before benting the pins?

My PC Specs:
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5 GHz (OC 3.0 GHz)
Motherboard : MSI P35 NEO(BIOS updated to 1.9)
PSU: Inter-Tech SPS-520 Booster 520W
RAM: 2x1GB Kingmax DDR2 800MHz
1x2GB Kingmax DDR2 800MHz
1x2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHz
HDD: Western Digital 500GB Caviar Black 7200RPM 32MB
GPU: MSI GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 OC Edition
 
Solution
If should work when overclocked; personally I'd give it a try and stress test the CPU for stability. Ultimately it's your call, but none of your parts are expensive to replace.

Yes, but I'm worried I will damage my hardware. On the other hand I can't hold the GTX 660 without overclocking my CPU because of the bottleneck.
