Clear picture of an 1155 socket set. Regardless of the void in the middle the pins should be the same exact layout.
You're missing pins. Sorry to say but I really don't think you did that. I'd return that asap.

I actually see a couple of bent pins. Just throwing that out there. If you can't return it and you're up for it there are methods to restore bent pins. The board already is broken due to that so, just do some research and see.

guess thats why i dont sell electronic components on ebay any more
you think you touched the pins and bent them
yet you expect to get a refund or replacement?
leaving the seller out of pocket because of what you did?
what ever happened to taking the consequences of your own actions?

He may have not bent the pins. That's highly accusatory. He says he thinks he might have but some people guiltily claim they did but they may very well have not.
I've been on the other end where I've seen people get ripped off by crappy sellers.

Disregard. User said he bent the pins and has before and after.
Yea man if you bent it you're SOL. You can try to fix it but that's not the sellers fault. You can't return it now.

hey sorry if my tone was a bit too strong but i have had stuff like that happen to me too many times on ebay
you can straighten it
just need
good eyesight or a magnifying glass--though good eyesight is best as can use both eyes then
a steady hand
very good light
something very small/fine like the smallest watch makers screwdriver or a fine needle or very fine tweezers

and i agree i can only see the 2 pins bent and they arent flattened or anything so not too bad really
the 2 empty ones may actually be meant to be empty though dont know that for sure

course you can
main thing is make sure you get something small enough before you even try
or you could make it worse than it is by using something too big

here in the uk you can get a set of watch makers screwdrivers in pound shops--thats under a dollar in usa
would imagine you have similar kinds of stores if you are in the usa
the very smallest screwdriver in those is about the right size

People sometimes recommend using something like a credit card because it's relatively soft and flexible, and if you line it up carefully you can use the other pins in the row and column as a guide. But more concerning is those possibly empty pin holes. In the before picture you can definitely make out that they used to hold pins. I think I can see one still attached. No idea on the other.

yes using something that can run along through the gap between the pins like that is how i have fixed bent pins on amd cpus
though its easier with those than with intel because the pins are on the cpu not in the socket
i used to use a stanley knife blade to run along the rows in both directions
the flat side of the blade that is not the sharp side
not sure if a credit card wouldnt be too big or too thick and probably too awkward to use in the intel socket
and your eyesight is more than likely better than mine so you might be right that the pins were there before
not sure on that myself to be honest
