Replacing the board that comes with FX 8350

[dev_5_22]

My PC overheated and shut down, so I removed the stock cooler on my 8350. However, the processor came ripping apart from the motherboard as it was stuck to the cooler by the thermal paste. Now I went to reattach the processor and the board's pins got bent. Any solution on how can I stick the processor back to the motherboard? Can the pins be straightened?

Can you show us a picture? I'm not 100% sure what you're describing.

Clear, large pics are needed here.

The pins in the socket are bent? If so you will need a magnifying glass, a pin & a lot of patience to bend them back in the correct position.

@wildcard999 It's an FX 8350, so it would be on the CPU

Ah ok, well the same process will still need to be done with realigning the pins that are bent so it will fit into the socket.
