Ok so I've never built a system before and this is my first time.
I just got in my E6600 and my ASRock 775Dual-VSTA. I know the motherboard sucks but I'm just using it until the nForce boards come out.
So I read the instructions and lowered the CPU vertically down onto the socket. I put the lid over and started to press down on that lever and I heard this crinkling/crunching sound. I got worried and stopped and looked at my CPU and saw that there were a whole bunch of little indentations in it.
So when you lock the CPU into place is it supposed to pop holes in the CPU?
Also, I noticed that some of them weren't lined up in the middle. Is that ok?
Please help. It's urgent and I'm freaking out.
