LGA 1155 Socket Pins

[terraazrael]

I've done some research, so I presume I am right that the pins on an LGA 1155 motherboard are supposed to be settled uniformly at an angle (not bent). I just need clarification because this is draining the blood from my face. >_<

Should it look something like this?

Correct.

Thank you ^_^

Am I also right that you need to apply a decent amount of force? The screeching sounds like it comes from the depths of hell.

 

[stulid]

Yeah, sounds like death when done for the first time.

Okay, I'm a lot more confident now

Thank you stulid
