So I purchased a ASRock B360 Pro 4 motherboard about two months ago and let it sit while I worked on buying other products over time (Graphics, CPU etc). Finally I have everything I need and I got around to building the PC today. I took the motherboard out of the box and installed it with the plastic cover over the socket. I removed the cover getting ready to install my CPU (Intel i5 8400) and noticed one of the pins looked different to the others. I'm hoping that I can still use this board as I would rather not buy a new one. Any responses are appreciated. Thanks!

PS. Uploading pictures here is a pain heres a pasteboard link

Yep, It`s bent. But no worry, it can be fixed just with needle and pair of straight hands.

This is the most common complain on Amazon about ASRock boards. There are surprisingly many such boards.
