I have working cpu with broken pin for 3 years. I have tested it with many programs such as Prime 95, OCCT, Aida64... nothing was found with them. Prime 95 blend test for 6+ hours and nothing crashed. But i don't know if it is still fully functional like before the pin broke. What if that pin had some important function? I also tried Passmark Burn In Test but can't run it for too long because my nb temps go over 70c and i must stop. Maybe i should replace it but at this moment i don't have enough money. Is there any program that will test every function of my cpu, so i can consider it rock solid stable? Does prime 95 tests everything on the cpu?

You may of been lucky as to what pin snapped on the cpu it`s self.
If it was just a grounding pin of the cpu, it will not effect the cpu at all.

If you got any sort of errors from the cpu after running it for 3 years it would of been a data bus pin.
But the fact that the cpu works with the pin missing,tells you that the pin that snapped was a ground pin point.

So you were very lucky.

AMD ? There were some "extra" pins placed on some models so they would not fit in wrong socket and they were not used electrically. Those are the ones that get most commonly damaged.
I don't know of a program that checks pin functions one by one but any CPU benchmark will use all the functions of a CPU.
AMD Overdrive has a stability test/benchmark utility and you can also use Cine bench, one of rare programs that can use and benchmark every AMD processor function, most of them are geared toward Intel CPUs.
