When i tried to straighten a bent cpu pin i broke it off. It's 1151 motherboard cpu socket. You can see it and which one is broken in the pictures below. It's VCCGT pin.

Will it work without any problems? I'll wait for your answer. Thank you.

You're kind of lucky here.
The VCCGT pins are for the integrated GPU power.

It should work even running only on the iGPU with only one broken, but if you're running on a dedicated GPU you shouldn't encounter any issues.

Here's the datasheet for 8th gen CPUs:

Thank you. Hope it will work. I don't have a cpu yet but i'll buy one asap. Then i think it will work fine as you said. Thanks again.
