I just got a new MB and 775 Pentium Duo Core. I have installed Processors before, but this time something weird is happening. I place the processor in, in the correct orientation. Positive about that. Then I let the metal case down over the processor, and pull the lever back. The processor does not sink down, but I am able to get the lever into the slot and fit the case over it, with some pressure. I used quite a bit of force, but didnt feel like I broke anything, and my MB manufacturer said it might take a bit to get it down.
Now, after placing on my thermal paste, and trying to attach the psu fan and heatsink, I cant get the fan attached. Adjacent pegs will stick in, but anhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037y pegs opposite diagonally will not go in the same time, as if the processor is sticking out too far. Any ideas?
