I am a first time builder and i have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard and a Intel i5-3570K CPU.
I fitted the CPU into the slot perfectly but when it comes to fitting the bracket which holds it into place over it and pulling the lever down to lock it into place it seems to put alot of pressure onto the CPU in fact i only got the leaver down half way before i heard a scrunching sound. I immediately stopped as was always told now pressure should be put on the motherboard or CPU. I checked with a video on you tube for the build of my motherboard and the guy says his is stiff as well and feels like your going o break it when you lock it into place but do i take that risk i just spent nearly 400 pounds.
Would love some suggestions on the matter, thanks in advance!!!!!
