ok i got a 3 ghz cpu from ebay but 3 pins were bent so i carefully put them back into place and it fits perfectly into the slot i just wanna know will i have any probs with it or is it a gonner? cant test it yet need to buy a heatsink 1st
 
I dont see why it shouldnt work, As long as they are still attached and straight down. But there is always a risk that it wouldnt.

The best way to tell is to boot it asap.

I've bent a pin on my P3 once (only one), I just unbent it and it worked fine.

Thats till a couple of months ago, but its been working fine for at least 2 years after the incident. Not sure if its related. Cause of the computer unable to boot is probably motherboard anyway.
