PC Processors

[den223]

So I broke off 2 pins off my CPU while trying to straighten them (they were very badly bent) and apparently the pins I broke according to the pinout diagram are the VSS pin and the dp0_txn(0)/dp0_txn(1) pin. 

My question is would the CPU work with those 2 missing pins, and what is the dx0_txn pin for, and will it cause any issues?

Breaking off two pins from your Ryzen 3 3200G CPU, specifically the VSS (Ground) pin and the dp0_txn(0)/dp0_txn(1) pin, may still allow the CPU to work, but it can cause potential issues. The missing VSS pin could affect electrical grounding, while the missing dp0_txn pins may impact the CPU's ability to output video through the DisplayPort interface. Stability problems and reduced performance are possible consequences. It is generally recommended to have all pins intact for optimal functionality, and seeking professional assistance or considering a CPU replacement may be advisable.

Thank you for your response. The cpu ended up working and I'm using a dedicated gpu now since I didn't get any display from the cpu.
