How did you manage to break some pins of a cpu? I demand more info.

And pics...biggrin.png
Modern processors have dozens of power and ground pins. If the pins that broke were both power or ground and there were enough other power/ground pins nearby, it will probably work.

If they were signal pins, I wouldn't expect it to damage the motherboard, although I don't know enough to say that it definitely won't.

This. If it is two ground or power pins, it'll probably work fine. And it won't fry the board. I dunno about the pinout, I doubt it was ever released online, you can maybe try finding some technical contact address for this and asking. Soldering would be incredibly tricky.
