Hello guys, as the title says I have a brand new ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING.
Don't ask me how was possible but one of the pins is missing (actually was bended and I have removed it with a penset). Position E-35 on the Pinout picture.
My question is this, i plan to buy i9990K. It would work with that missing pin? From what I figured out the missing pin is a VCC on Caffeelake Pinout. I also want to do a small overclock.
I can test with a i5-8400 cpu right now but i dont' want to damage the cpu...
What you suggest? how the missing ground will affect the performance of the cpu? If this is not reliable i plan to change the socket with a new one.
Thanks!

return it.
 
It was ordered and received 1 year ago, now it's too late to do something. Just remained in the box until now....as I said is not possible, anyway I don't have the documents anymore.

and you never inspected it? yeah youre right, there is nothing you can do but try it and toss it if it doesnt work.
 
well iv had luck getting the socket replaced. i send things of this nature to a repair shop in the US, im in canada when i get this kinda thing ill get the refund for misleading a fully working board if they dont take it back it goes to his repair shop for a replacement socket,
