processor wont go in
i have a q6700 im trying to put into a 680i board (striker extreme)
is something suppose to snap in? from what im seeing its spose to just lay in there, then you close the cap and lock it down i lay it in there (gold arrow in the correct spot) and the cap doesnt come close to closing, and i dont want to force it down...any idea's? |

I know you said it is, but make positively sure, the processor is aligned properly. You should feel a little resistance when lowering the locking lever, but it should not feel forced much. -- Don |

I got a little nervous when I did my first S775 too. Make SURE that the processor is correctly oriented before locking it down. Ed |

The first time or two you are faced with a new socket/CPU connector design you don't have a good idea of how much force is too much. The motherboard AND the CPU are at risk in this case, so approach the task carefully, sort of feeling your way. And read the earlier posts in this thread. You just drop the CPU onto the spiky socket array with no resistance at all. Closing the cap forces the tiny sharp teeth in the socket into the tiny balls of solder on the bottom of the CPU, so a certain amount of soft resistance is to be expected as the cap closes. This is unlike installing a 473 or 478 socket CPU when you feel resistance when INSERTING the CPU into the socket, but little to no resistance is felt when moving the latching lever (that slides a mechanism INSIDE the socket) until you lock it.
