Hey there, im in the process of building my first computer and i accidentally bent pins on my cpu amd fx 8350. The eight pins or so were bent around 35 degress or so just barely touching the other straight pins. With my fingernails i was able to bend all the pins back in place without breaking any of them. I am still waiting on parts before my computer will boot and i can test it. I have a few questions I had trouble finding the answer to. If all the pins are attatched and sturdy can there still be issues and how? Also, will this cause problems down the road? Lastly, am I better off staying with this chip or trying to return it? As for the return, there is absolutely no visable sign of bending after the pins were straightened. They literally look perfect. I just dont know if i should hold on to the chip or swap it. Could really use some opinions as this is stressing me out pretty bad!
