Hi, just received my Asus Rampage IV BE and Intel i74930K, now while fitting the cpu tightening the clamps down slowely seems to be bending the pins like they are too long or the clamp is too tight, not gone any further as don't want to damage anything but it just feels wrong, the cpu is the correct way round.
CPU fitting
- Thread starter Krony
- Start date
its normal for it to be tight and using fair force to close the clamp,the crunching sound is the pins flexing which is normal
aslong as the cpu is slotted into the notches in the plastic cpu plate on the board then your ok
