I busted two of the pins on my AMD FX CPU. I was only able to solder one of them and it started working again. I am afraid though that at some point it is going to BSOD or something because it can't perform some operation. Can anyone give me a pinout of the CPU so I can see what the pin is for?

Chances are, if it boots and runs with the missing pin, it's not going to randomly act up later down the road. There are several hundred pins that make up the Vcore and GND connections. If one (or even several) are missing, the CPU will still function just fine. They do this for current carrying capacity, because the CPU's operate at a low voltage, but a VERY high current (a hundred amps or more at a low voltage, anywhere from 0.6 to 1.2 volts or somwehere about). One Vcore pin being missing won't make a bit of difference.
