Are they truly missing or actually broken? If the pin is completely missing, that would be a manufacturing defect in the socket and you should be able to get a replacement without too much resistance from the manufacturer or retailer. If the pin is broken though, it will be difficult to prove that it wasn't user error which isn't covered by the warranty. That's why I buy motherboards locally and have the store clerk show me the socket before I go for the cash register, this way any defect cannot be blamed on me.

According to google images there should be pins there, I would contact the MB manufacture and ask them. It could be as simple as the CPU or board not using those pins but it could also be that the cpu is not being used to it full potential because of the missing pins.

If the CPU works, the two missing pins are most likely either power or ground which account for 70-80% of total pins, which makes them inconsequential unless you aim for nutty OC. Missing pins for any bus or other function would most likely crash the CPU or other major issues.

Some pins in the socket are redundant. If everything is working normally, then missing ones are of redundant kind.
But - there should be no missing pins in the socket.
So it's up to you - to RMA it or not.
