Hello guys,

I just bent 2 pins of my ryzen 5 3600. Is there any way to fix it bymyself? Or my cpu is gone already?

I tried to circle the bent pins in picture(not mine). Max degree of bent is like 45 degree.

Use a small piece of plastic, such as a credit card, and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY bend them straight, using a second piece of plastic behind it so it does not bend past straight. That's the only thing you can do.

Use a small screwdriver to straighten bent pins. A sowing needle can be used but is harder.

Let's say i fixed the pins, straighten them. Is it going to work %100 right?

No one can answer that question, but if you were able to straighten them lets hope so.

netherons, always a crap shoot.  There are many redundant pins on processors, e.g. to supply heavy currents for Vcore, maybe more than 100 Amperes, so you can loose a few of these, but not optimal.  See if you can find a very small diameter tube, such as the tip of a .7mm or smaller mechanical pencil to fit over the pin.  If you break it off, go ahead and mount the processor and see how it works.  Good luck and enjoy, John.

EDIT: This looks like a good reference from people who do this for a living: Fixing Bent Pins on AMD's Ryzen PGA CPUs 

          I suspect the pin diameter is about .2mm to .3mm.
