Are you sure the cooler you are using is compatible with the socket type? What cooler is it?

because applying a bunch of pressure in and around the CPU socket has never gone poorly for anyone in the past.... GL!

Apparently you haven't ever built PC. You'd be surprised how much force components can take and sometimes need for installation.

The crunch when pushing down the lever is the worst.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Yeah. And when you realize that you'll need flat head screwdriver to connect PSU cables.

Thats annoying not scary

It falls in line with screws that are underneath something else

Its scary when you think that wires could be kinked or cut if something slips. They are all things that scare first time and then its all fine.

Havent had that. Maybe because my early systems had non modular psus cable management holes etc meaning most of them were easy to access

I've not built a TON of PC's, you're right. But I've built a few. Why you gotta be so serious? I was just messing with him lol. If it worked for him, then great.
