Question Is this socket ruined?

[S7enli]

Hello guys, few days ago my CPU 14600kf crashed and the PC didn't start anymore. It was still in warranty, so i sent it back and received new one.

After 2 days of use suddenly the PC freeze and i had to hard reset it.

When i was changing the CPUs i spotted this on the mobo, is it damaged?

If a cpu socket pin is broken off, then obviously it is damaged.

Not all pins are essential though. Some are redundant.
You'd have to find function of the missing pin first.

LGA s1700 CPU Socket Pinout

The LGA1700 socket is Intel's latest development for desktop processors. It was introduced alongside Intel's Alder Lake processors in 2021 and is the successor to the LGA1200 socket.

Edit: It seems to be VSS pin (ground) - so redundant.

Can it lead to a sudden system freeze?

Possible, but unlikely in this situation.

Make sure, you update BIOS to latest version.
There is a possible deterioration fault with 13th and 14th gen Intel core cpus.
BIOS update fixes that.

Also check cpu temperatures.
