Hi there, basically taken my CPU out as was going to RMA it as a few issues were popping up with the build when I saw that one or two CPU pins were slightly bent, not drastically but out of shape. You need to move the socket around in the light to see it as the reflections on the pins are off, I've basically bent them back to the best of my ability and accuracy and they seem ok-ish... it's an X38 DS4 motherboard, just wondering if you guys think it's going to have an effect on my system and if I should just get a new motherboard or what...

yeh man, my camera is back at school, I'll post pictures of it a.s.a.p. They really don't look at all bad now, but with all the problems I've had with this system so far and r.m.a'ing I've done the issue could be down to something even as small as the pins, I'll put the pic up a.s.a.p
