So I manage to broke 1-2 bents on my 1151 mobo yesterday.

After the first shock I assembly everything and I boot the pc. It was working but I didn't have display. I put everything out again and then I manage to straighten some of the pins but I saw that I was missing 2 of them. I assembly everything, I made my prayer I boot and vouala the pc was working BUT the first 2 ram slots are not working and I have my 2*8 GB ran working as single channel.

My question is if there is any chance in the future this mobo will fry my cpu (i7 6700k). Everything look to work perfect like before.

Thanks in advance.

I have personal experience fixing customers bent pins on cpu. Take your time, use a magnifier you can actually bend the pin back. Well, that is unless the pin is bent over itself or some crazy situation. At which point no you're screwed.

Now if you do manage to bend the pins the WRONG way, then yup, zap, zap! buh, byeeeee cpu!

Please be careful!

I personally like using my cell phone to help take high resolution photos of the pins to better see them before I decide to try the cpu after bending pins back.

Thanks for the quick reply but I have done my best with those pins and everything is back on route ( I am missing two pins)... my question is if there is any chance in the future to fry my cpu although now is working perfect except from the ram slots 1 and 2.....

Technically if those pins are ground related then no not really a chance.

It depends on what the pins are for. As you say now ram slots don't work now with bent pins.

I wouldn't over clock that cpu now, leave everything as stock.

I am not overclocking.... well if it was something that it could fry the pc it wouldn't fry it immediate?

If is just the ram slots I don't see how it can hurt it more.....I don't know if you agree with that.
