so my problem here is that i just bought a new motherboard, asus rog strix b450-f gaming am4 atx and i have a CPU from my uncle thats the ryzen 5 2400g.
when i try to put the cpu in the slot, it drops in, but it doesnt go in fully. its like rocking back and forth inside the socket. if i look at it from the side, i can see that on the left its inside, and on the right its slightly evelated, with the CPU sticks showing a little bit.
here are 2 photos of the situation
the other side of the CPU is just barely a darker colour of gold, and i dont know if this is normal or not
so im wondering here if the problem could be: 1. the cpu is broken. 3. the socket in the motherboard is broken. 2.
thank you in advance
