[strike][/strike]Ok, to start. Just bought Asus P8Z68-V LX motherboard and I7 3770K CPU. Cos right now I dont have RAM and PSU, still didn't test it but seller send me a video that is boot up... So I decided to clean it a little bit and put new thermal paste cos there was a lot of it. So I removed the CPU and spoted some bended pins, one just a little bit and another one little bit more, but I manage to fix it. The thing is that also small amount of thermal paste stuck under some pins and I'm wondering can that couse some problems? There is some pics so you can see it. And I'm really asking myself how he manage to boot it up wit that bended pin?!

Ok, just to add, position of broken pin was AV-2 and I found one more, it's a little bit twisted, but I saw it on the picture that I took. Position of this one is A-5. Can anyone tell me for what dose pins are? Thanks...




EDIT: I just find out that the first one, AV-2 is for the RAM and other one, A5 for PCIe, so they are important. Now I dont know to remove CPU and try to fix that twisted one for PCIe or leave it like that until I buy GPU and Check what happening then? Ofcourse if I manage to boot it properly, cos today I'll get RAM and PSU...
