Bent CPU Socket Pin

[Conex]

Straight out of the box I noticed one of the pins on my CPU socket is bent but I've just done a POST and it seems to work fine. Should I continue with the build or try and fix the pin?

You could continue on with the build, But if it starts to become a problem, then just use an electrical screwdriver to push it back into the nearest sort of looking angle, It's what i did as i had a few when i bought my ASUS Z97-K, Which after some small surgery it works fine

u can try to fix it with a needle if u are too worried u can also send it to warranty

How bent is it? Can you send us a picture? If it's only slightly bent then take a sewing needle, a magnifying glass and get a good light source over the socket, and try to bend the pin back into place.

Well, if it works, I most like ly will for some time (Like it's average lifespan). I would just keel it like this, fixing it could cause problems if you mess up.

if it works fine, then since the cpu isnt moving, it should stay put.
