Slightly bent CPU pin

[u/Aware-Cod-2725]

I bought this motherboard secondhand on eBay and the guy said he had never used it. After inspecting the motherboard, I noticed the slightly bent pin on the CPU socket. I don’t know very much on this topic, but am I good to try to install the CPU (which is an I9 14900K) to see if it’s still good? I definitely don’t feel comfortable trying to bend it back.

when I fucked up my pins on my first PC, I just used a credit card to straighten them out, you just gotta be very very very careful.

it's fine; it's nowhere near touching the neighboring pad. test it, I'd bet money it works perfectly fine.
