Will a cpu work after pins have been bent?

I got a new cpu and as I was about to put it in my mobo I dropped it and 3 pins were bent. I straightened them and seated it on the mobo. I have not received my heat sink yet so I don't know if it will work, but the pins straightened back out.

Should work fine as long as the bent pins didn't break off during straightening.
