OP said he just built a new rig last week and it sounds like it is his first encounter with 1155 socket. Don't be a dick.

I forgot this place is patrolled by the feelings-police where every user is an undercover feelings-cop.
I just don't get what is so damn hard. I've "installed" many LGA cpus. What is the big deal you raise the metal frame, remove the plastic cap, lay in cpu, close frame, close latch.

And when I mentioned how fragile the pins are, I noticed after the fact that there were several bent pins on the socket itself (which were NOT bent at first). I guess I am wondering how these pins connect or interlock, between the socket (pins up) and the processor (pins down). Do they touch each other? Does each pin carry a different signal of some sort?
As far as the brown spots on the CPU, they are on the down side (the side with the pins), not the top. Thanks again.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks, cynan for the tip about returning the mobo. It is a brandnew Asus. I'll look into it.

Oh the irony, douche. And don't touch me, I don't want a hug from you sweaty fat man.
