well I can see atleast 4 pins,try and do one closer but without the flash,sorry to be a pain but wanna be sure
it will loop like that if any are damaged/misaligned
if they are damaged you need to rma the board

no worries want to make sure what the problem is before i return anything.
as close as i can get
still blurry but I can see one in that pic
and about 5 in that one but its hard to see properly
if I were you id just box it up and request rma,you can fix them yourself but get it wrong and snap one off then they wont accept rma
when and if you get a replacement take care installing the cpu,just ever so carefully drop it into the socket

thanks for all your help. 100% sure the pins must have already have been bent, i'm ultra cautious.
since i'm in the middle of mass effect 3 time to reinstall my old motherboard!(similar socket(i7 920) but had no problems).
