Hey everyone, I'm a bit worried that my AM4 socket might be damaged. I've been having issues with my CPU—there were some bent pins that I managed to fix, but the PC still won't boot consistently. I'm not sure if the problem lies with the CPU itself or the socket. Here's a picture of the socket for reference: [link](https://imgur.com/a/jryedvi). Should I consider ordering a new socket just to be safe?

From what I see in the picture, the socket looks alright to me. What makes you think there’s an issue with it? Maybe check all your connections and make sure everything is seated properly. Also, did you look at your PSU? Sometimes that can create boot issues too.
Well, the PC won’t boot sometimes, and I did bend my CPU pins before. I’m just really anxious about whether the socket could be damaged along with it.
