It's kinda important to mention WHICH pins are bent. Are they among the 1155 processor pins?
A picture would also be very helpful, as perhaps it is possible to bend it back.
I will do this when I get back home next weekend. And yes, I am referring to bent CPU pins. I would imagine its possible to bend them back because they are at the perimeter of the socket, but I have never done this before and I don't want to make it any worse.
So you bought the board on newegg, it was listed as a new board or a refurb? & I would have been pretty ticked off if my order came in and had bent pins! Thats rough.
Yes it was brand new. When I sent it back to newegg for a RMA they claimed the user bent the pins and sent it back.
