processor wont go in

[Mirey86]

i have a q6700 im trying to put into a 680i board (striker extreme)

is something suppose to snap in? from what im seeing its spose to just lay in there, then you close the cap and lock it down

i lay it in there (gold arrow in the correct spot) and the cap doesnt come close to closing, and i dont want to force it down...any idea's?

Generally there is quite a lot of resistance when you go to close the cap down or secure the heatsink module in place - do a google on your board, or even search it on youtube. Quite a lot of the time there's video tutorials on how to fit processors into boards.

I recall there being a little resistance when you lock down the cap, but not a while lot. Does the cap lock down freely without the processor in place? If so, as long as the processor is seating down all of the way, I would go ahead and put a little muscle to it.
