[SOLVED] Liquid cooling installation fail

[russellchance]

Hello. Recently I bought every components for my first pc. During process of building it I have stuck on installing the liquid cooling system... On pictures I have shown that there is a lot of space between motherboard and screws. Is that supposed to be like that or I have done something wrong?

• My motherboard : ASUS Strix X570-E GAMING
• My CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
• My Liquid cooling system : DEEPCOOL Castle 360RGB

Another question I want to ask : Is it easy to damage CPU pins? At my first attempt to install CPU I didn't noticed that almost half of it is not in the socket. Only after I pushed the lever and look around the CPU I saw my mistake.

Is it easy to damage CPU pins?

Yup, but if none of them are bent then it's fine.
