I accidentally bent my CPU socket pins on my motherboard(3-4 pins).
But I still managed to install CPU and get into windows.
Does it gonna affect on CPU performance or temperatures in future.

I have Asus z97A
i7 4790k
 
Impossible to say for sure, all depends if there was damage done to the pin or if it was just bent. I bent the pins on an old Phenom II and after straightening them with a pair of very fine needle nose pliers installed in a computer that is still being using for simple web browsing and word processing / printing to this day with no ill side effects.
