I bought the msi 970 gaming motherboard and the amd-fx 8350 and the cpu doesn't fit the socket. I even looked on pcpartpicker and msi's official support site and they both say that this cpu is supported. I also looked at the pins on the cpu to see if any of them where bent and all of the where straight. I really need some help on this one because I have no idea what to do.

Yes I did all of that. I guess the cpu or the motherboard is defective.
