I had the thermal combound stuck to heatsink/fan and processor and the topheavy heatsink tipped over while in my case and 2 pins were damaged in the fall. The two pins are located on one of the 4 last outter lines. My question is, can my processor live?
 
So youre mounting system broke?

What HSF?

Look up a pinout diagram for your processor, as they may just be ground pins that you broke.
 
AMD (939 Venice 3200+) ill lookup pinout diagram now. thanks! Bent/broken they are still there but i heard a click/snap.
 
click/snap probably means the heatsink retention clip wasn't fully over the lugs around the processor socket, and when it was in the case gravity pulled it off. Carefully bend pins back into place, put processor in socket, and correctly install heatsink.. making sure to clear the lugs.
 
thats a click/snap of the pins while in my hand as i tried to bend back into place. I looked in google with "AMD 939 pinout Diagram the PDF given has nothing that I could use? Anyone else have a link etc that could be helpful?
 
I will put it in as soon as motherboard arrives. I wouldnt even have this problem if i didnt get a deffective motherboad. /sigh.
 
I dropped my x2 3800 and bent like 5 pins, I pushed them all back to the way it was and so far it's working fine. Dunno if bent pins would degrade or effect the performance of a cpu at stock or overclock though.
 
If a pin is bent, it shouldn't affect anything if bent back into place... as long as the signal from the processor gets to the mobo or vice versa, there should be no degradation of performance.
