Hello all, i have a question about a motherboard with a broken pin which seems to be working fine but I need and Intel EXPERT here to resolve this..... The pin is half broken, only the the ball at the end. The pin number is A23 which is labeled as "VCCA - A23 - Power/Other" in the Q6000 series pin layout. I need to know if this pin is critical for the mobo not frying the CPU, because the system seems to work fine

those usually are just redundant power. there are a lot of power plane pins, so usually if one is broken its not that big a deal.

There are a lot of redundant VCC (power) and ground pins, so losing one shouldn't hurt too badly unless you're an uber overclocker that needs every bit of juice.
 
Thank you very much for your replies. I guess the pin is redundant power just like both said, because the motherboard seems to work fine.

Thank you for your help!
