Bent socket 1150 motherboard pins? :(

Guest · May 28, 2014

I just got a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard from eBay, but noticed that about 20-25 of the pins seemed bent. I haven't got the CPU yet, but will this stop it king, and if so, how would I fix it?

Thanks

How badly bent is it?
It should still work as long as its still able to enter the CPU and make sure they haven't snapped anywhere along the pins
Hope this helps!
P.S Don't directly touch the pins as this will damage the socket

RMA the board and make it clear that it was not you that bent it. If they're bent enough to be visible, they're not going to touch the CPU correctly, and might cause problems.

Request a return from the seller, unless he stated that it is as is and damaged, he lied about his item.

Can i RMA a second hand board? About 20 pins are bent, but they haven't snapped - should i wait until i get the CPU to see if it works?

The seller stated it was 'untested' and so returns wouldn't be accepted

See if the CPU makes contact with the pins, but don't touch the pins until the cpu comes because if they are bent and you bend them back they will snap
