Hi guys, after a month of eagerly awaiting, today my cpu and motherboard turns up and cpu has bent pins :(. I Picked the cpu out of the packaging and straight away my attention was drawn to two pins every so slightly knocked over. Will cpu be ok? I was going to see if they are important but not sure if there is a pinout diagram somewhere. The two pins are on either side of the arrow so the last two on the corner edge. I managed to carefully straighten them but I cant power on pc yet till I dig out a compatible back-plate for the cooler. One of the pins felt a little flaky :(. damn typical that this had to happen after waiting so long, will ocuk send a new one out so I can do a straight swap if it works? Not sure I want to keep it now :S.
 
Unfortunately I didn't... My phones camera wont focus on anything close up. I will just have to see how it goes I guess.
 
Morning, it was a sealed retail cpu, no signs of damage to box. Cpu fits socket ok will contact cs when I get chance...
