I was trying to clean the cpu socket on my asus p6t7 ws supercomputer. I bent the pins in the socket a little bit. I bent the pins back as much as i could and got my pc to boot up fine for a while. Then i started noticing that my pc would reboot randomly. I got the board rma'd but Asus sent back the exact same board and the paper it came with said the board is functoinal. The socket still looks the same though.
My problem is thagt i want to test the board out but I have read that bent pins could cause serious damage to my cpu. Since i have a core i7 980x i definately do not want to take the risk if there is a chance that it will damage my cpu.
Here is a picture of the pins :
