Did I destroy my CPU?

Snipes212 · Apr 12, 2014

when i was installing my 4670k into my AR Z87 Pro 4, the arm to lock the cover onto the cpu to secure it took a surprising amount of force to push down. after looking it up, a lot of people said it was normal and to push it down. i did, and it left two dents in the cpu on either side (on the edge of the cpu with a lower height than the center part. will my cpu work?

Are you sure you did not put the CPU the other way around? There are 2 small slices made in the edge of the CPU and 2 beveled parts on the socket that only fit if you place the CPU the correct way. The cover should not take much force. You need to use 2 fingers and push a bit, but not really much force.

You may have bent some pins.

im 100% sure it was seated correctly. i even took it out again and seated it once more correctly and it took the same amount of force to push the arm down

Then you are probably ok.

Can you upload a picture of how you put it somewhere? Will be really helpful to diagnose the problem.

It looks perfect , no issues.

Shneiky · Apr 12, 2014

A bit too blurry. But I can't see any bent pins.

Snipes212 · Apr 12, 2014

okay thanks a lot guys. when i closed it that time it took a lot of force as well, so i guess it's normal
