Selling because I have bought a 9900x, so glad to be off of AM4 and their terrible "pins on the cpu" mantra.
The CPU came off with the cooler during de-mounting- I am extra careful with my hardware but the tensile force (strength?) of the CPU being vacuum sucked with the latch still down caused some pins to be bent 5-10 degrees. It was very subtle, but it bothered me enough to take a toothpick and realign them. I plopped the CPU back into the motherboard to make sure it fit and it was perfectly fine. I did not retest the CPU, but I'm almost certain it will work. Some thermal paste also had gotten onto the pins but fortunately it's non-conductive, this does not mean I didn't decide to go back and clean it- which I did with 98% isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristle toothbrush. It is spotless, and should be in near-perfect condition. I must have the hands of a real technician.
