So, I was doing a seasonal cleaning of my rig the other day and wanted to change the cpu cooler for a more efficient one. As I removed everything I noticed a tiny brownish spot in my chip (i7 7700k) thought it could have fried. When I got back to testing it I also noticed some pins were bent in the socket, exactly where the brown spot was on the chip. I tried putting the chip back again as gently as humanly possible (in fear of breaking everything) - turned the PC on and everything was normal - ran benchmarks and everything - all perfect.
My cpu is no more than a month old. But I'm afraid that maybe I'm pushing something by letting it be the way it is? You guys think maybe I should try to unbent the pins? Or paciently wait for my pc's bitter end? How do I proceed?
