Question R2700x wraith prism install

[raid.zd]

Hello,

I'm not sure if i installed the cpu cooler the right way, i could not lock the lever, because it was already tight. I tested the cpu outside the case and i got 50 degrees Celsius, is this temperature normal?

Cpu ryzen 7 2700x

50 degrees during torture testing is pretty good. at idle then it is too high.

if you're unsure, you can always remove the heatsink and reseat it, though you should clean off the thermal paste and apply new since you've used it already. take some pictures next time if it does not seem to go on right and we can have a look and see if you're doing it right. should be plenty of videos on youtube showing how to install one you can follow

Here is a picture of the cooler, i suppose to move the lever to the other side, but it is impossible because it's already tight in this position!
