Motherboard pins bent

[Funny_Bidness]

Hello, I seemed to have bunged up my pins on a new motherboard and I'm not sure exactly how. I've built around ten computers over the past few years and have never had a problem. I did all the procedure I knew to do and the pins just bent. Is there any way it could be the fault of the motherboard having some tolerance off or did I just goof it up myself? it was an asus b250m a and an I5 10400F

Very unlikely to be a tolerance issue on the motherboard. You probably just made a mistake or slipped and didn't realise.

 

You can bend pins back though if you're very gentle. I bent back a few pins on a board I bent some pins on when cleaning some TIM from the socket and it worked fine.

I assumed that's what happened but I could tell a major difference between the previous board the cpu was in and the new one in terms of resistance when flipping the lever. That and the fact that there like literally no way (with some experience) to insert cpus wrong these days made me think i could have some crazy rare defect or something. and I can't recreate the the error I made on the other board.  I appreciate the reply.

I hope this is a typo. Lga 1200 CPU in a 1151 socket motherboard is no good.

Why would you try to recreate the error of bending pins???

because its an old dell motherboard that I don't care about. I thought if I could recreate it on the old one, then I could make sure that I didn't do it again in the future but I couldn't. I saw breaking a possibly already broken motherboard to learn as being worth it.
