RabidApocalypse Reputable Apr 6, 2015 159 0 4,710 Jul 14, 2015 #1 I recently got a Z97 G45 Gaming and I noticed some of the pins on the CPU socket are slightly off. Is this normal for Intel socket mobo's? Or do I need to fix them. If they aren't suppose to be bent, is it ok if just 3 or 4 are? Thanks

Solution I I i7Baby Jul 14, 2015 Its not normal. Post a shot - here and to the seller. You might be able to straighten them. But in trying you'll void your warranty. It'd be better to RMA the motherboard.
