    what socket is the celeron made for? Depending on the socket type, the VCC pins are in different places. There are multiple VCC pins. They are to tell the motherboard what voltage to use. The CPU will function if the voltage is manually set at the correct value or the motherboard is still using the last detected voltage.

    I don't know where the VCC pins are for that. Have you tried using the cpu since the pins broke? You have that picture for us to use, why not show us which ones broke?

    Yes there is, googled it, people with broken/bent pins still had the cpu running.

    Either way, im going to call Intel sometime this week for a replacement, because [fact] 20% of the returned CPU to intel the pins are either broken and/or bent.

    When you broke some UCC pins in Socket 370 CPU, it refuses to work at all!
