Hello all... I recently got a cheap mobo and i have on the cpu socket a bent pin... Can someone tell me what is the role of the bent pin? The Mb is as ASRock Z87 Extreme6... Thanks

Can't you bend it back into place with a pair of tweezers/small screwdriver? have you actually checked to see if the computer will work with a CPU in it as is? doesn't look like a major issue to me as it's not completely bent out of shape and either puting pin back in place or seeing if it works anyway would be my first options!
 
Doesn't seem too bad. Try NdMk2o1o's advice and put the CPU in. Might just work without any tinkering.
 
I tested an i5 4590 and an i7 4790 an everything works fine, no errors... a guy told me that the pin is for the ECC correction if i use a xeon processor...
 
I would still unbend it. I just did a couple lga2011 boards with good success
 
That is not bad at all! You should see my 1366 board lol it had about 6 bent pins and it took over an hour with steady hands to get them back to workable condition.
 
If indeed the bent pin is for the ECC correction for xeon processors i think i will leave it in this state...
