Can you post a pic(macro) of the pins? If I can straighten them and test the cpu and confirm its working, I might be interested in taking it off your hands.

Chili, anything you would use a normal pc for. But this would do it much faster, and more efficient (less power, less heat etc). Another benefit would be features such as Sata3/USB3.0 which are more superior than the previous iterations.
You could use it for Gaming, Multi-Tasking, Virtualization although the 4770k only supports VT-x and not VT-d, video editing (but the 2011 socket would trounce 1150 in this spectrum), pretty much anything that really need pc power.



Also FFC, good job on the move to Intel; if you plan on playing BF4 that is. All AMD procs I saw in beta were getting fucking smashed by intels.
Sometime this week, i'm going to make the move over to X79 since I got the proc. All I need is some r290x's now
Hopefully I can get at least 4.6 or higher on the 4930k.

It's pretty fucked. If you want it, it's yours. Free.

I also have a crosshair v formula z board I'm waiting for from asus. I'd let it go for 150. It's new.

I'll take it and try to straighten the pins, I've done it before.

I must ask, how did that happen? Did it slip from your fingers onto a heatsink? I just can't see how that can happen by placing it into the socket.

i guess it was just out of place, I really dont know how I fucked it up lol
