Liquid cooling pump pressure.

Hi yall.
So recently i bought an Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240. But when i put on the pump i have to put Some pressure. Is this supposed to happen? Can my CPU handle that without damaging?
Specs:
Motherboard: MSI B250 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 1151
CPU: INTEL CORE I3 7100
GPU: GTX 1050 TI

Most coolers require some pressure to mount properly, its hard to say without being in person what an acceptable amount of pressure is though.

On a side note, I would return that cooler in a heartbeat. You have zero reason to be using an expensive cooler in a lower end system, that money could have gone to getting a more powerful component that would have actually made a difference in the system.

But is it a problem if I just install it? This build has caused me alot of shit and I really dont want to send it back.

It shouldnt be any issue if you use it, it just wasnt the best use of money.
You should have to push down to get the cooler to mount properly in most cases.
