I have purchased a gigabyte p35 ds3l mobo and an E8400.
I have looked over the diagram several times and believe I have
the processor installed in the socket correctly(it seems to slide in comfortably).
My problem is when I go to lay the loading plate back down, the loading plate doesn't lay flush. And if I try to use the socket lever to clamp the loading plate down into position, it seems like I'd have to use too much force.
However, I'm new to building a computer so I don't have experience with this. I could definitely clamp the plate down, but I don't want to destroy the pins in the socket because I pressed too hard.
Should the plate and lever go into place easily, or do you sort of have to apply a bit of force?
