Hi!

So I accidentally hit the GPU pins with my hands while I was building my first PC and now the pins are just a little bit bent. Is this a bad thing? Will my GPU work just fine?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by GPU pins, but as long it's not the CPU pins, and all plugs still fit in place, it should work fine. If it doesn't work, report back here for assistance :p

Like under the GPU it has like tall little sticks idk how to explain it, but anyway they're bent just a little and i'm worried if it will change anything :/

All they need to to is make contact with the pins in the slot. So if they can do that, you're probably good.

Unless you mean the bottom of the card is actually damaged ... usually those pins are attached to the printed circuit board. So if it's bent because the board is cracked, or the pins have broken loose from the circuit board, that may be another story. Pictures would help.

The GPU fits just fine into the socket and everything but yes the bottom card pins are just a little bent. There aren't loose, just a little bent.
