Intel cpu installation?

So apparently you are supposed to push down the little bracket before the lever, Ive always pushed down the lever and let it take the bracket with it. Is this not a good way of going about it?

Other than the chance it wouldn't appropriately fix the CPU into the socket, there's not really any issue.

It good, as long as the bracket catches under the screw. I guess by doing the bracket manually you make sure you don't just put down the lever without it catching under this screw/standoff.

I see, doesnt the bracket only catch onto the screw once its almost fully pressed down? The bracket falls down as soon as you put the lever down

Yea, I can't imagine it wouldn't go in the same way, but maybe because manufacturing tolerances it can happen...?

I see, i guess it probably wont matter. Ill just make sure to do it the other way next time to be safe

Do you think one would notice if it were to not by not catching onto the screw?

If it didn't catch the screw, you'd not have the CPU seated correctly and it may fall out or block the cooler.

Wait, if im not mistaking the screw keeps the bracket down which keeps the lever from popping up. If it didnt catch the screw then wouldnt the bracket and lever both pop up

Yeah, you'd basically know right away if you failed to get the lid under the screw.

I see, so i don't have to go take the coolers off my intel pcs to make sure i caught the screw?

Nope.
