Question Should I fix my cpu socket.

[Aleaaleaalea]

So recently, I accidentally dropped my cpu on my motherboard socket and I bent a pin, should I attempt to fix it or should I just get a new motherboard? Is there a huge risk if I unbend it and turn it on? (Picture of Socket)

Impossible to tell anything from that image. It is simply too small. Generally speaking if the pin is minimally bent are you don't have two hands full of thumbs, you can bend it back and no worse for the wear. If however it is moderately to severely bent, then you might simply make things worse by attempting to fix the problem. If that is the case, then you might be better off simply replacing it. With a better image I could probably give you a better opinion.
