Get a credit card and gently(!) bend them back in place. Should be fine after. Pretty scummy though this is how they delivered it.
Very minor bend. Do the credit card fix and you should be good.
Also good eye. I would have missed that and broken everything lol
isn’t 1 missing from the corner?
I bent mine back once, be very gentle and patient
Yes
You have two options:
1. Gently bend them back yourself
2. Send it back and request a new one
hoenstly as im sure you already know now, this looks very fixable
Just use a credit card to straight them out. I’ve bent 7+ pins before and straighten them using a credit card
Minor bend. Should be easy to bend back.
I’ve seen worse, take a credit card, and bend it back or a dull razor and use that
Is this the last of its kind with actual pins? I recently built a PC with a 7800x3d and it was flat.
If you have a mechanical pencil lying around, remove the lead and see if you can slide the tip over it to precisely bend it straight, one at a time.
If it was ordered new & that doesn’t work, RMA and be done with it!
people continue to recommend AMD processors when this is simply impossible on Intel
It’s fixable if you have a stabile hand.
