This bent pin can still be straightened; don’t give up—your new R5 3600 is ready for use.

I don't replace CPUs, but my understanding suggests using needle-nose pliers could help align things.

Gently rub it until it improves.

Use tweezers for the task; remain calm and precise. For multiple bent pins, consider replacing the CPU rather than trying to fix them individually—this is simpler.

It can be adjusted easily. Use a pair of small pliers or tweezers. Avoid bending other pins while doing so. Remember it doesn’t have to be flawless—just needs to fit snugly for reinsertion. The socket will also assist in realigning things. Try to get it very close (as near as possible), and refrain from pushing anything into the socket. Take your pace.

The pencil could realign the issue.

Absolutely, your concerns are more significant than just a bent pin.

Indeed they do. That chip is probrably dead with the PCB peeled back like that. The pin itself is an easy fix. It's the OP's call whether to fix the pin and try it or write it off as a loss - There is a risk of frying the board with this chip as it is now with that corner of the PCB folded back.

the cpu functions properly but it isn't recognizing the second ram slot. unsure if the issue is due to a bent pin in the center or a corner damage, though the corner had worked before according to the manufacturer.
