[DreamCat04]

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance 5600MT/s CL36

Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 2TB

Motherboard: Gigabyte B760 Gaming X

CPU cooler: beQuiet Dark Rock pro 4

Case: beQuiet Pure Base 500FX

PSU: BeQuiet StraightPower 11 850W

Graphics card: Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Twin Edge OC (originally upgraded my 5090 with that card)

So last friday I built my own PC for the first time because I wanted to get rid of that shitfest of Dell G5 5090. It went pretty well, but I did screw up bigtime while installing the CPU into the socket: I dropped it into the socket. But you'll see that in the pictures below

Here's the damaged socket (it actually worked just fine without having to try and bend the pin back)

 

Here's the finished build:

Yes, the PC works just fine, just inserted the CPU into the socket anyway to the "order" of my dad and tested it with no cooler on and it just worked. And even now that it's been "running" for a week now with absolutely no CPU related issues. My guess is that I was really lucky and "only" bent a voltage supplying pin and not a data pin

Yeah. Only thing is: it doesn't work anymore. One of my RAM sticks is completely dead and the other bootloops if I enable XMP but acts like nothing's wrong if I don't enable XMP. I'm gonna get then replaced soon
