While building my pc yesterday I bent about 8 pins on my 3900x. I tried to fix them but I ended up breaking 2 off. I then tired to re sodder them on but ended taking about 8 pins off. I honestly don't know what to do now. Any recommendations?

failing to solder on pins, and in the process destroying more, means you are not able to fix this CPU by yourself. Either hire a professional or see if AMD will give you a refund (doubtful)

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Oh I know it's a lost cause. I was thinking of just selling it.

idk who would buy it but also you can make a cool keychain out of it and maybe sell it for even more than just a broken CPU
