Bend it back, it’ll probably work fine.

E: from the silkscreen labels, that bent pin is a chassis intrusion switch, which I’m guessing you won’t use anyways

You can do a visual inspection around the area (both top and bottom side of the board). If the solder joint on the other side looks okay, and there aren’t any scratches/nicks/defects anywhere, bend the pin back straight and don’t worry about it. If something doesn’t work, then you can RMA it. Of course it’s kind of annoying to build the whole thing and then have to replace the motherboard, so there’s that consideration to weigh.

Can you post a closeup of this area? It looks like major damage where an IC, power-related judging by the package, should be.


Looks like solder deposited on pads for an unpopulated part

I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 240 with a 7800X3D. At idle it’s at 20-30%, and goes up to 50-60% when gaming. That’s mostly because I set a pretty aggressive fan curve for it. It’s super quiet all the time, gaming or not.

That picture of the bent pins doesn’t look great and is probably your issue
