It appears to be positioned on the side, likely a memory channel connector. It’s safe to try booting it just to see if it works.
It might be RAM-related; a memory channel could behave incorrectly in certain situations. Using just one channel on your board is simpler than dealing with errors. It would help to check the pin location in the CPU socket. If it's nearer RAM, the issue likely involves RAM. If it points toward PCI-E slots, it could be a PCI-E connection problem. The motherboard manufacturer usually arranges the socket so connections are as short as possible.
He mentioned that slots 2 and 4 don’t work, while 1 and 2 did. It could be worth clarifying the details.
Sure, I understand. I’m happy to see you made the payment, and I don’t have any complaints. It could be resolved or adjusted.
For $80 I’d put it on the board and check the outcome. You caught a steal. What matters is that even if two RAM channels fail, the remaining two will still work.
You're hearing positive feedback about your B450-F and GSKILL RAM.
Pins can be attached to the CPU using soldering techniques. You can source a pin from another CPU and install it on the new one. Apply solder paste between the pin and its pad, then heat both until the solder joins. A hot air gun or a soldering iron works for this process. Alternatively, use a socket designed for your CPU, such as the one listed here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AM4-CPU-Base-Co...SwUjJe0UNK. This provides a secure place to hold the pin in position while heating. A repair shop might be able to solder the pin for you if you use the CPU and a dedicated pin.
