You're good. It isn't too abnormal for that to happen. Just test it if you think you messed up. We can't tell you and it is easy to find out for yourself.

Well, I just started with building my new computer. And i think i allready messed up :(

 

First stap, installing the CPU.

1 Open the cpu socket lever and the metal plate will be lifted as well ..... Completed

2 Hold the CPU with your tumb and index finger .... Align the cpu with the golden triangle to the coresponding corner on the socket ..... Completed.

3 Once the CPU is properly inserted, peplace the load plate, ....  the socket cover may pop of from the load plate automaticly. 

mmmm, okej, i think i just killed my motherboard and my CPU. I heared a creepy noise, like you slowely are breaking a nut. but, as i folowed the 2 steps before very carfuly, i could not belive i made a mistake there, so i pressed the lever down all the way. the socket cover did not poped off, so i removed it manualy.

 

Is this kind of normal?? and, is there some way to test it without installing the CPU cooler, so that i not waist all my termal compound? 

 

greets

its normal you hear some cracking noises and it is normal if you have to apply a modest amount of force, anyways check the motherboard pins in case 1 or more are bent

So i just go on with installing the cooler, memory and the powersuply?

I think that's all i need to do a test, isn't it?

when i installed my CPU, i got it all nicely in place but the cooler would not fit on. of after lots of googling i found out i just had to apply like 47 pounds of force, so i did. and it worked out great! xD

Great, my power suply only have a 4pin conector for the CPU, and the motherboard has a 8 pin socket, so, my build need to wait untill tomorrow to get tested, need a new powersuply :(

you can proably just fit in the 4 pin for now, just do some testing with it, so for the moment no overclocking or bench-marking, just booting up. you should be fine, i wouldn't game either until you get a new psu.

Most of the time the 4 pin connector is enough

I could not boot up, the hard disck and cd rom are not yet installed :) but, i could move in to the bios, and everything looked like i think it needs to be, so, i think my CPU and motherboard are still fine, pfff, why does it have to make such a bad sound. It's deafently not a nice feeling, those things cost a lot :P

 

thanks for the help.

 If you could get into the BIOS everything should be all right and there was no damage done! :) Yeah, I agree with you there. When I built a PC for the first time I also thought that there was was a rediculous amount of force needed in order to install a cpu (with that lever thing).
