Found a bent pin on a server motherboard that was causing random reboots for 3 months

Oh come on, a bent pin causing reboots for THREE months? That's way more likely a bad capacitor or a PSU issue you just didn't bother checking properly. Bent pins either cause instant failure or nothing at all, not intermittent chaos like that. Sounds like you just finally got lucky swapping parts and are crediting the wrong culprit.

Bent pins can def cause intermittent issues depending on how the socket's making contact.
