One bent CPU Pin

[crispykiller96]

Hey there after opening my computer to apply new heat sink gunk i noticed i had one bent gold pin on my Phenom 2 955 its completely bent beyond repair yet it still works perfect there was no way it was damaged tonight as i was as always very carefull with removing the CPU so i'm guessing its being like that since i purchased it over 2 years ago i never even noticed it yet it still works perfectly fine overclocked by 20% to 3.6GHZ

Question is is there any need of concern its been like that for a very long time and i game constantly yet never had any issues or motherboard beeps thanks 🙂

could be lucky and a non used pin, or a extra grounding pin that get's covered somewhere else. you got lucky.

bent beyond repair ? you could try straightening it with a pair of tweasers or mechanical pencil. but if its not done nothing after 2 years id hardly worry about it now
