I accidentally slightly, like ever so slightly bent 3 pins on my cpu, fixed em right up using my state ID and put it right back in the mobo, slapped on thermal paste, and the heatsink. Boots fine and I've been using it for a few days.
I was wondering if there is anyway the processor could still break, like if the processor is snug in the AM3+ socket, and the pins seemed sturdy and not flimsy. Could they eventually break off or could the processor eventually stop working due to thermal fatigue?
