The only way to know is to drop in the processor and see if she posts.

About the only way I guess, bought a P6T V2 recently I was worried about that looked pristine, then I looked at the socket and thought I saw 3 bent pins.
I built it and it fired up well though and is plugging along, from the way mine looked that looks negligable.
I'd never tried it, but if you're that worried I think people used to put a ball point pen with the ball removed over the thing and realign them a bit, but never tried it.
I'd say to try it as is myself, looks pretty safe.

I don't have the pin diagram on hand, but really the only way to find out is to drop a CPU in there and see. I had a few bent pins before, I was able to straighten them out with a jewel flat head screwdriver.
You can order them with bent pins?

I would give that a try. You may get away with it. Doesn't look drastic at all

my point was, if he bent it, try to fix it. If he didn't bend them and bought it that way he should attempt to ship it back.
Lol, I knew what you meant. I was just giving you crap.

How about checking the pattern the socket makes on the CPU's contact pads?
