my processor made a baaad noise when i installed it. it went click, but a big click. is that a problem? it was when i engaged the lock thingy to seat it properly. the pins look fine, but i don't know.
 
it will be fine if you had it placed properly, you cant really get it wrong you can feel and see it drop into place, can be a bit of a loud click when you close the lock, take the cpu back out and check the pins are all straight
 
ok i looked and all the pins look good :) just needa wait until i get my mobo back totry the build again :) thanks
 
I've not used a socket 1155 board yet, however I've had CPU sockets make some strange and awful noises in the past. The most worrying was my old socket 775 board which used to make a "grinding" noise when I locked it into place.

Provided everything works, it shouldn't be an issue at all, you do get some strange noises when building a computer
 
thought i got a dud but i think it was that i couldn't plug in the 8 pin connector as well as the 24. should be gettin it back tomorrow though, so therell be more updates then
