Firstly hello , first time here.
So I built my first pc not to long ago , was doing some cleaning and as I went to remove the heatsink I didn’t wiggle and then tugged the cpu straight out with it , bending multiple pins in the process ! I have tried to straighten them up with a the aid of a razor blade and a strong magnifying glass but still no joy when I try to boot.
Anyway because of this I’ve just gone ahead and ordered a new better cpu , but it occurred it me that maybe I damaged whatever the cpu plugs into on the mobo and could potentially destroy my new cpu the moment I try it out . So in short , could someone tell me if this looks okay
