So being the pc noob I am I managed to put the AMD Processor in wrong and bend some pins, but does that mean the motherboards cpu socket works?
Well, with AMD, the pins are on the CPU, not the motherboard.You could try straightening the pins, and do some stability testing, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're out a CPU. I suspect the motherboard is fine.
For future reference, AMD sockets are ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets, meaning you drop n lock. If the CPU doesn't drop in, it's not aligned properly.
all sorts of confusion
thats the reason when i buyed my fx 8350 few days back
i told shop keeper to assemble it for me for free !
yes ur mobo should work
but i am not sure about processor check its pins
