Now power after new CPU and BIOS

[JollyJamma]

I have already written it off, had a quick go at straightening them but it's beyond my tools and ability.

Have ordered another ROG B650E-E should be here Saturday

Royally annoyed myself as I was gentle as hell putting that new chip in but apparently now enough! Oh well expensive lesson

Thanks all for the trouble shooting!

I might be able to fix the pins. There’s another member who does pin fixing quite often.

LGA sockets are a nightmare! I killed a Z97(think), expensive upgrade!
Put it on the bay for spares/repairs, someone will buy it.

*ahem*

So update, taking it to a friend tonight who is a little more experienced with this kind of repair, have a replacement board coming at the weekend incase it is dead and past saving.

Final update

Managed to get the pins back into somewhat working condition, PC would fire up and get into BIOS but failed repair mode and consistently failed to fresh install windows. May be because one of the damaged pins in data related so have a new board arriving tomorrow.

Saga of how to trash a rig concluded!

Ah, that sucks. Can you send me a very high photo of the damaged pins?
