I have fixed bent pins several times before.Originally posted by Bok
Yeah,
unless I can bend the pin back, I think it's going to be an expensive paperweight
I feel like switching everything off right about now and selling it all

You must have PUSHED it into the socket.
Granted, 939 pins is a tad more difficult to just slip in, but still...
Unless you crimped it a full 90 degrees and it cracked it, you should be able to warm it up some so it's more flexible and slowly straighten it...
You'll need a magnifyer to see it...
And it wouldn't hurt to call AMD and explain your situation as jasong mentioned, before you do it to see if there is something they can do for you...
You could send it to me and I'll give it a go... send me the mobo to, because if I get it in there, I'm not sure you would be able to remove it once it's seated.
