lost a pin on intel core i7-4790k and want to know if it will still work

[blue_711]

A few days ago I was working on a gaming PC and the problem was that a pin was lost on the CPU socket. I was wondering if anybody would know if my board is no longer usable. I am using an Intel Core i7-4790k on an ASUS Maximus VII Hero MB and I think I lost the G8 pin called PEG_RXN7. Does anybody know what this pin does, I'm a beginner at this and don't know.
