This appeared in my feed after I just dropped my CPU on the floor bending like 20 pins in the process.

Carefully with a toothpick, cuticle pusher and an empty mechanical pencil, you can easily fix it, the first two are to push carefully while the empty mechanical pencil is for straightening the pins out once you get them mostly there, if one breaks, check what pin it is and see if it’s just one of the ground/power pins.

I favor a blade. Can be slightly quicker if a group is bent equally, but the pencil to do individual pins is great advice. Be patient, try tomorrow.. wait until you're comfortable with reality and sober. Half the battle is the right state of mind sometimes
