Hi there! I just started building my first PC and got really excited about the process. It’s super enjoyable and fun. I ended up listing on a local Polish market site to sell my builds. While I wanted to test things out, I realized I don’t have a proper setup—just used sticks for graphics cards, etc. I managed to snag this motherboard for around $2, which was a bit sad because it has bend pins. Should I try fixing it or just discard it? Or maybe I can salvage some components. Thanks in advance for your time and advice—I really appreciate it all! <3

There are more bent pins than I’d attempt to fix by myself. You might try it, but be careful not to damage any pins or bend others. In the worst case, you’ll at least avoid spending a lot of money.

Sure, I understand you're asking about what happened with the motherboard. It seems like someone might have handled it in an unusual way—maybe experimenting or testing it. Let me know if you'd like more details!

Occasionally components fall out of sockets. With a solid set of hardware, this can become a risk.
