I was trying to install a new Athlon "Socket A" processor into a new ASUS A7V133 MB (my first time) and noticed that the processor "dropped" very nicely into the pin set on the "Socket 462."
But, as I began pushing the locking lever down, I reached a point where the resistance to moving the locking lever any further down felt like I might break the locking lever if I pushed any harder. I immediately stopped trying and came to this forum.
The "Socket 462" mechanism works smoothly without a processor in the socket, although there is a "squeaking sound" as the locking lever is moved through it's range and the top portion of the socket changes position.
Question is, does the "resistance" I describe sound normal? Does it, in fact, take a pretty "hefty" push on the locking lever to properly seat the processor?
Thanks in advance for advice from those who have gone before me.
