Asked By CuriousCat97 On

I'm really unsure about whether my AMD R5 3600 CPU is fitting correctly in the socket. When I place it in, it seems to fit, but there's one side where the pins are bent, and it just doesn't feel right. Is there a way to tell if it's properly seated?

You mentioned you have an Asus X570 motherboard, right? Make sure you check the alignment of the CPU with the socket before pressing down. If the pins are bent, you might want to try carefully straightening them out, but proceed with caution!

If your pins are bent, that's definitely a red flag! It’s unlikely that the CPU will work correctly in that case. You should check which model of motherboard you have to see if there are any specific tips for seating the CPU correctly.
