Posted September 12, 2018 so I bought a new motherboard and a few of the pins are bent (or ones missing I cant really tell). I noticed it when I removed the cover and getting ready to seat the CPU. Am I screwed? or should I try and take it back to the pace of purchase and get a new one? or attempt to fix it myself. I have a picture of it i can take a few more if needed. Its in the lower right hand of the socket (near the latch/holder). The motherboard I have is a ASUS ROG Maximus hero x (wifi ac). Any help is great.

Posted September 12, 2018 @CellBlok69wLamP obviously take it back and replace it, don't try and attempt to fix it, if you break them off then that's all on you.

The ideal option is to take it back; hopefully, they do. I will not even try to bend it back, with my luck as of late, its way to risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 12, 2018 Good chance they may not take it back as they will probably say that you bent them and they are not under warranty any more. If this occurs, you can try Linus's method to try repair the pins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1H5_FVX9lU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
