So I was fixing a 2600X with bent pins after I GENTLY took it out of the socket (don't know how they got bent). I used very small tweezers to fix the bent pins but one of them snapped off. Is this the end for the 2600X? I heard that many pins don't have a super important use such as data or vcore (that might be important correct if wrong) and some are just redundant and don't really serve a purpose. If anyone can find an accurate AM4 PGA 1331 pin layout that would be very helpful. After my RMA for my MOBO comes back, really hope that the system can boot and work with stability. I also saw a video from Tech YES City and when trying to fix bent pins on a Ryzen 5 1400, he snapped off two on accident but the system still booted and worked although it ran in single channel MEM. Thanks for any advice for this.

@AYDANN6ix9ine If you're handy enough to try and reflow the pin back on but best of luck for that one. I'll do some homework to help you out on pin responsibilities

Thanks a lot! I don't have the materials or the skills to try to reflow the pin back and my relatives (uncle/parent) wouldn't let me take a risk on something that cost $175.
