ok a little back story a few weeks ago i upgraded my AM4 motherboard. and while taking the cooler off the cpu the cooler pulled the cpu out of the socket. upon inspection of the cpu i noticed a few bent pins, i gently bent those pins back and the cpu slid nice clean and easy into the socket on my new board altho i had some random boot issues that have since sorted themsleves out. cpu is a ryzen 7 2700. fast forward to a few days ago, i tried to overclock the cpu i followed a few guide but lets face it i have been overclocking cpu's since the old intel pentium 4 days so im not a noob. anyhow last night i ran the prime95 bland test went to bed and woke up to find that my system had shutdown for no reason average temp reported by ryzen master was around 73c on my 360mm aio. is it possible that the bent pins are the cause of my shutdowns? what other ways can i check to see if my system is stable at stock bios settings?

 

could the fact that the pins were bent even tho i bent them back be the cause of my issues? i should not that before the random shutdowns under stress testing i have other boot issues before they were sorted out

 

heres my system

 

asus CH7 X470 mobo

team group vulcan ddr4 16gb 2x8gb 3000 mhz ram

sapphire pulse rx 5700

seasonic focus gold 750 watt semi modular psu

512 adata ssd 5 4tb hdd seagate

wired internet

enthoo primo case

360mm cooler master aio

bios version: 2901

 

if it matters both the bios and hwinfo64 say my pump is operating at 4,500 rpm so i dont think my cpu is overheating nor do i think its a thermal throttle

 

i bought a cheap 1600AF cpu to test in my system to see if i still have the shutdown issue but it wont be here till next week?

 

just trying to figure out why my system isnt stable and why it shuts down when i stress test it if temps are fine

Yes bent pins can cause issues. 

When you install the cpu, slide the lock up/down twice/three times, assisting the cpu motion to help seat the pins into the couples. 

My 1200 sometimes requires a re-seat from some bent pins during the de-lid. Cpu is fine, just some pins don't make contact and it have a system that just sits there cpu LED armed. So far, that's what I've experienced with bent pins. 

But once it posts, I don't recall having stability issues, but alas I bought it to de-lid it and pound on it more than anything.  Almost hit 4.4ghz with that bad boy.

No, it went so far, bend pins issues are showing at start.

You left it over night, i assume it went to sleep, if so there might be the problem.

I had very bad experience with sleep, i have it disable it now for years!
