I've actually fixed a cpu with this video. I used a mechanical pencil to bend crooked pins back into place

I did the same with my 8320 when it came out of the socket as I removed the stock cooler and it bented 3 pins. Works perfectly now.

Just to update, the CPU is fine. At least i suppose, I sold it without testing it. However the buyer has not issued a refund nor complaints about it and its been about three-four days since it arrived at his shipping address. I guess its safe to assume it works just fine. And while i feel bad for not testing it prior to selling it, I did make refunding an option for said reason.

 

Anyways thanks all.

Try it and see if it works. If it doesn't get your mum to buy an upgrade replacement.

yeah youll be fine, i dropped my Phenom when i build my first pc and bunt pins, but i bent them back and it worked just fine, they are solid and have no moving parts so nothing can really break
