I had recently done some installations to my pc and I noticed a pin in the Ethernet port is bent. The connection is still good. I am getting the same speed tests as before but I am just wanting to know if I should buy a new board to prevent future connection issues. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

I can provide a picture later today. The pin is somewhat making it 45 degree angle towards the exit of the port.Comment

the bent pin can’t be important otherwise you would either not get a connection, or would have shorted something out if the pin was related to PoE.
in an ethernet cable, of the four pairs of wires, only 2 pairs are required to make a connection, so it sounds like you have gotten lucky, especially as it seems the bent pin is coming straight out rather than sideways towards the other pins.Comment
