Missing pin?

Long story short, my CPUs pins became bent after trying to place it in a faulty motherboard. (the motherboard had bits of something in a few pinholes, filling them up )
CPU is an AMD Athlon II x2 270 3.4Ghz (stockclocked)

Tried to do a home-repair (the CPUs $40 brand new, so wasn't worried) and I accidentally broke a pin off, other then that every other pin is fine and straight enough that it went into the socket and booted. attn

My question is, will this missing pin be a problem in the future? I ran prime95 for ~30minutes without any problems. (stayed around ~55degrees as well, third party fan)

Picture before repair, missing pin is one (not sure exactly) of the bent pins:



Sorry if this is wrong section, decided to post it in general CPU discussion as missing pins can be a problem for both intel and AMD CPUs.

This is awesome! I would love to know what that pin does, good idea, and nice job on the fix (for the most part)!

Some pins are redundant. You just got lucky in this case.

Side note, Intel CPUs do not have pins, the motherboard does.

Quite a few of the pins are redundant - looks like you lost one of those. Without knowing which pin exactly, no way to tell what it does but if you're curious, you may be able to find a CPU pinout map for that processor
I gotta agree with Mokrunka, that is cool that it seems to be working properly

I had an old 486 back in the day with a missing pin, according to the white paper pinout it was related to 32-bit operation. It worked fine for DOS, the instant it tried to run a 32-bit program it would hard lock, requiring a reboot. It still mostly worked fine.

I know that AM2 Athlon Processors have a good handful of blanks. Had 2 6400+ cpus I got from e-bay, both missing pins on separate sides of the PCB. Both worked fine, Mr. Scott has one of them. Is also de-lidded to.

Ya, here's a picture of it. What a good chip that is. 3.6ghz daily on a decent water loop. http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/athlon_64_6400_x2/

Similar thing happened to a friends AMD CPU. May have been one of the AM2 Athlons ShrimpBrime was talking about, as he was trying to build a PC on a sub-$400 budget (Microcenter CPU + motherboard combo FTW). Accidentally bent a pin and couldn't straighten it, but he hooked it up and was Prime stable.
