Hello all.
Just got all my new PC parts in and was in the process of building my new PC when I ran into an issue where the CPU will not fit into the MOBO socket. I used PCPartPicker to check compatibility before purchasing everything and it all checked out so now I'm a bit confused.
CPU: i7-8700k
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E
Both use the LGA1151 socket type, yet I cannot for the life of me get the CPU to fit into the MOBO socket. I started with trying to fit into the slow by lining up the triangles, then rotated it every direction thereafter and it simply doesn't line up.
Can anyone help?
