I've had bent pins on multiple processors. I just use my fingernail to bend them back. I've even had the processor stuck to the heatsink like that and pull right out. All of these were Intels though.

Speaking if Intels, isn't it nice they don't have pins anymore? There's only copper contacts to there's nothing to break. The proc. won't come out of the socket either since there's that cover thing.Quote:

While scoffing at the Intel person.
So easy, a Mac user could do it.
But Mac users don't know how to build (good, anyways) computers! :alien:Quote:

The cpu came out with the heatsink and a whole row of pins got bent. I straitened them with a Credit Card but didnt realy care at the time sence I took it out to replace it with a 4800X2.
Then the 3700 ended up on the carpet pins down some way or another. I dont know how long it was like that (probaley atleast a week) but I tested it a few weeks ago and it still runs fine. I even did stess tests to make sure. AMDs are definelty tuff.
I put my 8800GTX on the carpet
*hides*
if you don't want it just send it here, i'll even pay shipping ha!Quote:
