Did I damage my CPU/Motherboard?

[feelinglife]

I was installing my Arctic Alpine 64 Plus onto my AM4 board. However, the instructions neglected to tell me to loosen the screws on the cooler before locking the hatches into place on the motherboard.

Before I realised this, I ended using a lot of force/pressure trying to fit my cooler.

I booted up Windows and everything seems to be working normally. But I'm still worried I may have damaged the CPU or motherboard. What do we think?

Have you heard any cracks when you screwed in?
If you didn't and everything works, then you shouldn't worry.

I didn't hear any cracks or sounds when screwing it in, but I can't say for certain that there were no weird sounds beforehand when I was applying a lot of pressure. I was concentrating pretty hard when fitting the cooler.

Well, then you should be fine.
