Hi guys. Yesterday I decided to build my new system (asus z170A with i5 6600k) and on my dumbest move ever I just bent 3 pins from the mobo when tooking out the socket protection
I spent a couple of hours trying to bend them back in line again, and this is the best I could get:
(Pics below)
I know the best option in situations like this is always trying to return the mobo but rma is not an option for me since I got it overseas, so I need your expertise on this:
- Do the pins need to be perfectly aligned for the cpu to work without issues?
- Do you think that Im currently in condition to test the cpu at this stage or do I need to keep working on aligning the pins a little more?

Thankss!
