Realized it the hard way haha. From then on, I make sure to run Prime95 for some time before removing the cooler.

I'm pretty sure the Reddit post is linked at the bottom of the article, under "Sources".

In what might possibly be the deal of the century, a Redditor found a returned 12C/24T AMD Ryzen 9 5900X selling for just US$3 in a local store. The CPU had bent pins and a couple of missing ones, but the OP managed to straighten the bent ones, successfully POST the CPU, and even stress test it. The missing pins apparently correspond to integrated audio, but they didn't seem to affect the processor's functionality.
