Hope you're ready to sell part of your soul for that over priced processor
u mean compusa/tigerdirect prices? oh yea i know, but if its in stock, and minus shipping if i buy online, its worth the extra

just got a gigabyte 990fx-a-ud3 am3, hope this time nothin will go wrong
Good luck, Let us know if it fixes the problem!
3 bent pins? you did place the CPU the right way round, there is only 1 way it will fit, the gold arrow on the CPU points to the arrow on the socket. it should just drop in, no pressure is needed to seat it, just enough to hold it flush with the socket as your locking it.

well it turns out that the mobo is good, the bent pins fx is also good after i fixed it, and when i tried to boot with the 1 ram stick only, i happend to only use the bad one out of the two cause it seems 1 of the ram sticks is bad and this time i tried the good stick out of luck and booted like a champ with the 680! the new processor and mobo is gettin returned with a 15% restocking fee to learn my lesson

Yeah, you know malfunctions sometimes don't happen one at a time and then troubleshooting is more complex. It's like working on an old car and you can't figure out why it quit running all of a sudden. You check for fuel line pressure and find the fuel pump quit. You assume replacing it will fix the problem but it doesn't. What you didn't realize was that the ignition coil fried at about the same time. But you didn't check for spark. I had a 1970 Pontiac years ago that three things quit all at once on it.
