oh yeah thats just to keep dust out i think. but when you install the processor that little plastic part comes out.

and Geoff, that looks more like building my pc...

i mean 3 pins on the socket look like they have moved, like folded over two north of the square whole in the center, and one on the outside line right corner

look on top of the top row, four from the left square thing

if there are a few pins bent, is it a work/wont work thing or will it possibly slow it down? if its a will or wont work deal i'd take my chances (i really dont feel like taking this thing apart and shipping the moboard back and waiting for another one :X but if it has a chance of working, but only slowing it down, i'd prefer to go ahead and swap it

yikes. you could bend them back with some sort of precision tool, something like a dental pick MIGHT work. if they are not EXACTLY back into place and you try it, it could very well fry your motherboard/processor. its not a slow down thing, its a pop sizzle flame thing.

but i would just send it back. you dont want to risk blowing up your processor.
