So today I was changing the thermal paste in the CPU when I accidentally pulled off the CPU too hard bending some Pins in the CPU ( see the photos below). Tried my best to bend them back where there were and achieved it somewhat fine.
After applying new thermal paste and cleaning dust in the case , tried to power on the PC only to realize it won't POST. I haved tried unplugging RAM, GPU, clear CMOS, reinsert CPU in the socket and nothing. When I hit the power button the only thing it does is to start spinning all the fans but not beeps or bios.
So I just assumed something died, how can I tell if I need a new motherboard or CPU? Is there a way to tell without trying with a different motherboard or CPU ?
Pc specs are
PSU 600 watts 80 bronce certified
Vega 56
Ryzen 1700
16 GB RAM 3000MHz
MoBo B450 Asus prime
If you read all of this thx in advance .
