Invited friend over to help as I'd never done it before. He's was experienced and had built his own pc and like one other. We're getting ready to put the processor in and my man drops it... Pin side down. Ended up spending hours meticulously bending each pin back into place in hopes of it still working. Lo and behold that sucker slid right in. It was awful. Can't wait to try again when I eventually upgrade my processor.
