Hi, I am Vimal from chennai - Tamilnadu - India

My config is,

Sabertooth 990FX R.2 MotherBoard
8150 Bulldozer Black Edition Processor
FirePro V5900 Graphic Card 2 GB
4 x 4 Ram 16Gb DDR 3 Corsiar
1TB and 2 TB Hard drive
Phanteks Enthoo Pro
Noctua NH D15 air cooler
EVGA 220 - G2 - 0650 Y1 80 Plus Gold 650W

My Question is, in my processor (bottom part), it has more tiny needle that will enter into motherboard slot. In that, 4 needle has bends. If so, the processor is damaged or not? Will it work? Or its has to be serviced?

Those need to be fixed or it will not function properly. There is no way to tell what in particular will be wrong but something will be.

You can use a credit card to GENTLY motivate the pins back into place. You can also use a mechanical pencil with the lead removed, slide the end on and GENTLY move the pin back into place.

Dear Rogue Leader,

Thank you so much for the info. If I do that, will it work properly as like before?
