So i just bought this mobo, and already i see bent pins in the back of the motherboard. Not the cpu socket pins, but the pointy pins. Are they supposed to be bent? or did i install every badly.

And only 1 of them are bent. Which is the top pin and they are not touching each other. I dont have a camer to show you but i circled the 2 pins. And again only the top one is bent and their not touching.

That's just a through-hole soldered component. When you're doing them by hand, it's common to bend the legs outwards to keep it from falling out, then solder it. I'd imagine something similar happens when you're doing it by machine.

Nothing to worry about.

Highly doubt it. That's normal for some manufacturing processes.

At a guess, I'd say someone manually touched-up the component.

just check for damage near that area if the board has sign of any crack or any scratches. Also make sure that part of pins are properly attached with the board like others.
If this is the case(pins slightly bent) like in picture, http://store.curiousinventor.com/media/images/how_to_so...
you don't have to worry about it then.
