CPU WILL NOT FlT IN MOTHERBOARD

[BossBruce1]

my cpu will fit in the socket, but the metal plate that goes down on the cpu gets stuck on the cpu. I have a x99 deluxe ii motherboard and a i7 6850k cpu.

The CPu is keyed to fit exactly in the slot in only 1 direction, if its not closing properly you may not have the CPU oriented properly. Once you fix that the metal hold down plate should work. Mind you its a VERY tight fit.

IF I understand you correctly, you are wondering why the metal plate doesn't just drop down nicely? It shoudnt, you will need to apply a relatively large amount of force to get it to close. The point is for it to really squeeze and hold your cpu in place.

Just be 100% sure your cpu is placed in the socket properly.
