1 CPU pin bent (RYZEN 5 3600)
Hi, it seems you got your Ryzen 5 3600 in May and the pins bent at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. It fits into the motherboard socket and works well for two months. You should check if the bent pins are still secure and whether they can be straightened or replaced. If not, consider replacing the motherboard socket or consulting a technician.
Use a thin, flexible card for easy alignment. Gently straighten the pin until it’s level. A card is ideal since it fits well with other pins in both orientations. It might be a ground or power pin (with many available), an unused pin, or one that doesn’t serve a purpose.
