was this dumb?

i left the plastic cap on the processor which is why the pins didn't go in the holes. i tried to secure the processor to the board not realizing there was a plastic cap on the processor. as i pushed the locking device into place (i never got it locked) i noticed what felt like too much pressure. too much pressure because the plastic thing was still on, so i removed it.

I think that was understood, like I said unless you bent some pins on the (board) you should be fine.

MY GOD! Look at that!! Can you believe it!?

Unless you get a screw driver and hammer, you are not gonna bend those pins without torquing out plastic.. AMD user...pffft!

No, Opterons been that way for awhile. Socket F/1207

computer booted fine. where can i check in the ds3 bios to see the cpu speed (as in mhz, just to make sure the thing is working properly). i have another problem though...i posted it in this forum in this section.

also, cpu temp showed 34 degrees celsius with arctic silver and arctic freezer 7 cooler. that was just after it had been on ~5 min. that seems high, no?

Then compare that to Intel LGA775 and you got it.... Those seem the same, very hard to bend...

temp doesn't seem high it takes a little while for the as5 to setup to so after a little while the temps should be a little lower

It should show on the Bios/boot screen. Thats not bad, it takes Arctic Silver a few days to break in.
