Hi everybody :) just wanted someone to help me clarify things up. First, I bent my AMD A10-5800K CPU pins while reinstalling my CPU cooler. I bent like lots of the pins, like 8 or 10 pins. I managed to fix it by precisely straightening the pins using a pinset. and behold it seems like new. it fits inside the socket without hesitation. it works fine, temps are fine, tested on prime95 and all a pass, Don't seem to find any problem at the moment. Even though I managed to fix it, I'm still afraid if the processor will have any problems in long term use, will the processor suddenly stop working? or fail? I don't know...I just needed to get this out of my head. :) I'm just being skeptical as always.
 
Solution
Should be fine. The cpu pins just make the connection because the cpu to the cpu socket, its not actually affecting the processor in itself. So you shouldnt have any problems

any problem wouldve resulted in you not being able to boot into Windows, the fact that your motherboard POSTed (motherboard's self test, that beep you hear in the beginning of every computer startup) means it fully detected the CPU, so you're good.
