it should be ok.  are the REALY straight now as they where original? Sure it comes with a risk. Well wich kind of a CPU you want to test with? A expensive one?

When applied downward pressure they all align into place. Otherwise they are like 1mm out of place at the most. The cpu is a i5-4460. Not expensive, but still around $200.

 

EDIT: CPU Came today, she lives! Just need to order RAM and a MSI R9 290 to complete my semi-budget build.

Is it safe to test my cpu with the pins (3) bent back as humanly possible into position? Or should I be safe and just buy a new mobo? I'm like to save money but at the same time I don't want to kill more hardware.

Linus once bent some pins on a cpu and bent them back. You should try to do it the same way as him. 

 

If you want to be completely safe just buy a new motherboard.
