Hello

Yesterday i bought a brand new Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard from a local retailer. At first glance the motherboard looks OK while i was in the retailer.

But later back in my house and with better lighting a closed inspection revealed what i think is a bent pin in the CPU socket. I dont even try to install the processor.

Before returning the motherboard to the retailer, i would like a second opinion from you guys. Has been a long time since my last build.

Here are some pictures.





In the lower right you can see the pin bent

Thank in advance
 
Looks broken off... is it actually still there but bent down? Definitely should not look like that on an LGA1155
