During my monthly thermal re-pasting, I accidentally broke a bin trying to unbend it after I dropped the CPU.
If I stick it back in the hole will it still work?
If not are there replacement pins available or can it work without the pin?

Please tell me this is bait.

it all depends if you have gentoo installed
do you OP?
do you?

I'm running Mint :/
>>51712997
if you have linux installed there's a command to re-enable the broken pin

$ rbpin -A -x [posX] -y [posY]

Use a toothpick to bend them back, very carefully. Then take the entire thing and shove it up your ass.
Why did you even take the CPU out?
In no instance of repasting any brand of CPU do you actually have to remove the CPU from the motherboard.
Frankly, you deserve to have to buy a new one.
Fools, money, parted.

You dropped it and now its broken buy a new one for your own stupidity.
>>51712997
buy a new one shitlord

On the slim chance this isn't bait... if it's a redundant ground or power pin yes. Otherwise no.
Monthly repasting? Like, if you don't, dark spirits will come out of your closet and eat you at night or something? That's the only plausible reason I can think of.

And nothing of value was lost

Get out your soldering iron and good luck.
You don't need to repaste every month dude.

Take your clocks and get the fuck out

just cant be fucked desu

I laughed, gg OP
My nephew used a CPU missing like 3 pins for a few months. Random BSODs but it worked more or less.
I have no idea how unsafe that was.

You could try to fix it but it might be too autistic for you instead you should install Linux from scratch.
nice troll
you can just bend them back. I had some even break off of my old phenom processor (which I'd dropped a few inches), and I had to drop them in their respective holes in the socket so that the CPU made the pin connection anyway. I lost a couple pins and had to cannibalize new ones off an ancient CPU but - amazingly - I was able to get the CPU working again
