One bent pin 1150 socket

[cibar]

Hello!

As the title suggests, I "managed the performance" to bend one pin. After a hard 20 mins I bent it as close to initial position as I could. Im guessing that because of the pressure the CPU puts on the pins when you close the encasing, it might be ok? Any thoughts? (P.S. I touched the pin with my hand very very easy to feel if it was ok afterwards).

you should be okay as long as you positioned it well

Well, I put it as best as I could so its position would be the same as the others. But if it were to be a problem, how would it manifest? If something goes wrong because of it, how will the pc behave?

you will see your CPU acting up. You computer will slow down. and stutter. worst comes to worst your PC will shut down and it will not boot up because it can't read the CPU. CPU wont get damaged about 90% of the case that you have. but i would really not suggest overclocking the CPU to extreme measures. like going from 3.7 to 4.7. but going from 3.7 to 4.2 or 4.3 you should be fine. the more you overclock the more electricity goes threw your pins.

Well, i got to BIOS, so im guessing it reads it. I haven't got the change to install Windows yet to see how fast it goes or if it stutters. And about overclocking, it's a good cpu and I am happy with it as it is.

you should be okay really. i am about 90% sure that you won't have stuttering. but if you start to have stuttering open up your task manager and look at how much load the CPU has. if it has like 10% load with everything closed and it stutters then you know your pin is starting to have problems. and get the board RMA'd. you'r CPU shouldn't make your PC stutter at all even at like 70% load
