I've encountered a problem with my MSI B650I EDGE motherboard. One of the pins is bent, and I'm not sure what to do. It looks super tiny, and I don't think I could get it back into shape without causing more damage. Should I attempt to fix it, or is it already too late? Also, will this affect my CPU, the 7900X? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I've shared some pictures for reference: [Picture 1](https://imgur.com/a/6uBs3pY), [Picture 2](https://imgur.com/a/nYWufSO), [Picture 3](https://imgur.com/a/4XTNLAD), [Picture 4](https://imgur.com/a/exz8l3A).

Your images aren’t super clear, but it looks like the damage might not be too bad. If you’re feeling confident, you can try straightening it out lightly. Just be careful because if you mess it up, it could break completely. If you’d rather avoid it, I’d say just leave it alone for now.
Thanks for the tip! If I don’t straighten it, is it still safe to install the CPU?
