cpu pins

I have a technical question. so does the performance of a cpu decline if the pins get bent and you somehow are able to fix that and use it? ive used a needle to straighten out the pins which were bent. I have had this happen on fx and ryzen series chips. I just was curious if the performance declines any.

If you fixed the pin and what not Then CPU will work like it normally would.

umm ok the reason I asked was because I am using the fx series 8370 which had some pins bent and I was able to fix them and now I am seeing less that 4 ghz for stock speed. I am using a 970 asrock board but other than that and the drp4 cooler and all I am seeing stock speed at around 3987mhz or something like that in coretemp with temps around 20-32 or so c some of that is under load as I am using edge.

Degradation in performance is more about silicon and stuff like that than pins. As long as pin is making contact, it works. You would not be able to boot if pins aren't making contact.

ok what I am concerned about though is the speed of the processor if a bent pin could cause the speed to lower well you see my concern it could also do other more problematic things. I guess I am just trying to make sure that fixing the bent pins on a cpu wont cause harmful progressive effects on the stability or performance of a cpu. I basically have been using an fx cpu so far I had to straighten out some pins and well the speed is now not over 4ghz. that was the base clock.

Your CPU is 7 years old at this point. If it has had some overclocking done and run with higher clocks and volts, then that would cause it to need more volts to run just stock clocks now. Thats, in a way, part of the silicon lottery.

 

Jayz2Cents made video about this some time ago. Kinda explained what degradation actually means and how it shows. I'll try to find it.

yeah I guess so but remember I am using an asrock 970 m pro3 board which uses less than 200 on the bus and 2000 on the ht links its like 195 on the bus frequency and 1959 or something on the ht link or so and all. so maybe that could be the issue. I am not sure as I have very little experience with asrock boards. also I have tried ocing it and well if I do it via software it resets after a shutdown. it seems to have trouble rebooting in a regular way.

Very rarely is an cpu going run at 4ghz exact. That 13mhz is most like from blck.

Edit. You are never going notice 13mhz either.
