So I was putting my CPU in the socket of my mobo earlier. I noticed some bent pins before I put my CPU in so I tried to fix them with tweezers, but as soon as I looked closer, I saw about 4 pins broken off. There were about 2 broken pins on the very bottom right corner and 2 in the middle left of the socket. Is there anything I can do? Please help!

MOBO: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

you have to use your cc and do a charge back as most online sellers like newegg dont cover bent pins at all. the black cpu cover in rl should protect the pins in shipment but who can tell if the mb pins were bent at the factory. you cold put in for shaping damange. or call msi see if they cover it. but you may have to use your cc to get the funds back for the mb.
