Hello community,
I am a little puzzled and frustrated at the moment.
So i purchased a Asus Z97-A mobo to pair with a Xeon 1240 v3. I received a smoking deal on the mobo, hence the Z purchase, but that's beside the point.
The problem is when I went to install the CPU, the notches in the cpu don't align with the pegs in the slot! As you can see in the picture, the notches sit a few mm away from the pegs.
I'm lost at the moment. I know for sure that these two are compatible (LGA1150). What am I missing here? I know....such a noob.....
