Yesterday I was installing a P4 2.4B and noticed it wasn't sliding into place properly. When I looked at the pins 2 of them were bent. I tried to straighten them out with a knife but one of the pins snapped off. I managed to get the other one straightened out and put it in. I didn't think it would boot but it did. I installed XP and ran some benchmark tests and it seemed stable. But will not having a pin affect my computer? I'm planning on OC'ing it but I don't want to risk it if it will damage the CPU more.
