Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 with minor bending at the pin end.
Assuming the pin is a memory pin, it likely won't support DDR5. However, since you're using a DDR4 board, it should be fine.
Yes that is a possibility but if ur cpu is working fine then there’s nothing to worry about, I cut a capacitor of my 4790k delidding it and that worked fine for 4 years lol
