if the pin is not an important one it should work

Anyone remember that post about the motherboard someone bought “new” from Amazon had an extra broken pin in one of the cpu socket holes?

I’d be worried about the surrounding pins in that image.

I just want to point out what a fantastic question this is for new enthusiasts learning.

Wow good job community I sent videos where some pci-e lanes don’t work with bad pins u got lucky

It depends on the pin. There are actually a some pins on processors that are redundant and the proc will function perfectly fine without it. You would just need to get a schematic of the pin layout for the proc and identify what the missing pin was for.

The second picture looks like an oil painting for some reason.

Hey we found the cpu,
The other day a guy posted motherboard with one corner pin still in mobo.

There are many pins curved. Your cpu can damage a socket.

Yes

I mean you could very easily just find a local workshop that allows you to use their stuff for a small fee and solder it back too 🤷♂️

Solder it back.

It’s so over bro.

Depending which pin yes, some pins are just extra. There was a video of someone who ended up testing how many pin you can actually take off before it stops working, he took off like 5 pins before it stopped working.

Will depend on the pin.
I once had a single pin that bent the wrong way (Intel, on the motherboard), until I bent it correctly with a needle two of the RAM slots didn’t work.

Depends on the pin I think.

Straighten the other pins with a blade look up Linus tech tip video on how to do that and you should be good I have the same cpu and I broke two pins but they were ground pins so everything worked fine had it for 4 years now

Unless it’s a ground pin that there are like 4 of it on the chip, you pretty much need it.

Just get a 5600x it’s way better
ComfyCatOnReddit
Take care with the other pins too as they’re not straight.

I had the same thing happen to me once (bent pins), my heart jumped a few beats when I realised it wouldn’t fit in the socket any more. Luckily for me I was careful enough to straighten them alright without breaking the cpu altogether.

For some reason people still go for hard for amd even though this shit design has been there for ages and is designed for the user to break it and get another one

It’s a non critical pin. Your should be good to go. https://imgur.com/a/Pg3Zvgp

I see a lot of bend pins .

That CPU is corroded as fuck, like someone left it in a glass of water or it say in a really humid environment for awhile.
If you got this online or something I’m gonna say sorry man it’s probably a dud
