Have you fixed the cpu pins on the motherboard ?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to as I don't have an easy way to see which pins specifically are bent to try and rectify. I've bitten the bullet unfortunately and asked for help from a local repair shop to see if they can help with this.

Theese things happen unfortunately hope they sort it for you and don't charge to much.

I'm hoping so! And if they can't help then guess I got to get a replacement motherboard which would suck.

So I ended up trying to bend the pins back with a needle but I still get either the 00 or CC error Q-Code, and now because of lockdown I can't take my PC to a repair shop to have a look at it.

I think I might have to bite the bullet and get a replacement motherboard, but looks like ROG Maximus Hero XI is End of Life now which sucks.
