I worked on my PC last night and bent around 8 pins on the 3900x. When I tried to fix them, I accidentally broke 2 more. Later, I attempted to re-solder them but ended up removing about 8 pins again. I’m not sure what to do now. Any advice?

I believe nothing exists to repair this CPU. Apologies. Edited May 22, 2020 by TofuHaroto

Missing soldering on pins and causing further damage indicates you can't repair this CPU alone. Consider hiring a technician or checking if AMD offers a refund (unlikely).

I understand it's not worth much anymore. Selling it seems like the best option.

It's unclear who would purchase it, but you could craft a stylish keychain from it and potentially earn more than just from a faulty CPU.
