Someone overflowed thermal compound and it got on some of the pins, was really hard to clean off and a few pins broke off in the process, and many others were bent (9 or 10 probably). The breakage is on the upper left side...opposite side of the little corner arrow (doubt all CPUs have those but hopefully you know what I'm talking about. I figure I'm screwed but maybe there's something I can do? Even before the pins breaking/bending the CPU was very iffy.
