Fixed a Gigabyte G33 board that had quite a few bent pins - 25 or so.

Just take your time and don't force them.

I used a paperclip and a watchmakers flat head screwdriver.

Lastly.... good luck! :)

I've never had to do it. But I've heard a propelling pencil with the lead removed works well.

Easier to do it on a CPU, but certainly do-able on a motherboard, just make sure you are very patient.

Good luck!


EDIT: D'oh, you've already done it *learns to read entire thread*
 
I thought I'd damaged my 775 board. Rather than being pins they appeared to be more like little folded over springs. I snagged a few and twisted them out of place. Sorted it with a pair of tweezers.
 
i took my AMD CPU to a watch repair shop when i dropped it and bent some pins, they didnt charge me anything and saved me £100 :) so i gave them £10 for appreciation
 
Wired my old system back up with everything new that i have, cant utalise the 4 sticks of ram as i only have two banks for it.

Second gfx card is sitting with its thumb up its bum in the box too, managed to get water cooling on tho
