When I wanted to install my i7 4790k I noticed that some pins where slightly bended. I took a picture and I want to know if it is a good looking socket or not.

I really want an answer ASAP. Thanks!

P.S. The bend was on the top left corner of the socket

 

 

Can we see the picture?

If the pins are all bend in the same way and are parallel there is no problem.

The picture will bring clarity though. (You can use imgur if it's too big)

On the picture you can something black-ish pin at the top left corner. I don't know if it is a good socket though.
