I've just partly built my 1st pc - a mini ITX and unfortunately when I tried to install my CPU (a i7-7800k) into the 1151 socket - I experienced an unexpected problem - I pulled up the lever fine and inserted the CPU in the correct manner - but then when I started to lower the lever - the plastic cover jumped off prematurely and the lever went slack - it totally lost its spring effect - it simply wouldn't lower the CPU frame and wouldn't allow it to set beneath the setting screw at the end of the socket - It took for me to physically bring down the frame and position it under the holding screw - no idea yet whether this has had any adverse effects? I really was not expecting such a malfunction to occur and now I'm obviously concerned as it's a very expensive chipset and motherboard assembly as well as being a very tight build in my Fractal Core 500 case - I continued with the build anyway and hope that no damage has occurred - anybody else experience such an issue or at least able to advise me ?
