Hey, I am currently building a rig for a friend. I have just about finished the build now but I think while installing the CPU I have bent the pins on the motherboard although I wasn't sure. The pressure upon pulling down the latch simply seemed far too much and after doing so I reopened the socket and some of the pins did appear to be bent although that may of just been from the perspective. There was also quite a lot of noise while closing down the latch, almost like pins being crushed down. Regardless I carried on and connected everything up to see if the motherboard would read it. Sure enough upon looking through the bios, it detected it fine and was showing all the cores, temps, volts etc etc. Everything appears to be fine.
So, what I'm wondering is what does this mean? Is it all fine and i'm worrying too much or can motherboards still read CPU's even if only a few pins are bent?
All opinions welcome, thanks.
