Why is screw#1 free spinning?

>>61932042
Because you ripped the thread

>>61932083
fpbp

>>61932083

But I never even got it to enter the female side. None of the screws are even beginning to feed in.

>>61932123
You didn't just drop the CPU into the socket, did you?

>>61932139
Oh god

>>61932139
of course he did look at op image

>>61932139

Nah I slotted it in properly. I just took out the threadripper and tried screwing it in and the screw works. But when I put the threadripper in it just free spins.

The socket is from Foxconn or Lotes?

You got a defective socket from foxconn. You have 2 options, return the motherboard or maually install the cpu in the socket.

u srs? I might phone up my local computer guy to come around take a look.

I saw in this video that this guy had a slight problem with free spinning but I think that was because he did it in the wrong order:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGweOHnTvTE&t=9311s

>>61932237
Hold down the carrier frame with you finger and try to close the scews in 1 > 2 > 3.

>>61932258

Have tried. It just doesn't want to feed in.

WTF IS GOING ON it won't work REEEEEEEEEEEeEEEEEEEeeee

>>61932310
Be not retarded like this guy and as lightly as possible get 1 in and then try the others. Otherwise you'll just have to torque the shit out of it to get the other 2 to thread in. Some total idiot was complaining about Zeniths all being defective because he couldn't figure out how to do it and literally couldn't accept the fact that he was too stupid to put his CPU in and refused to do anything but 1 > 2 > 3 because AMD ENGINEERS KNOW BETTER THAN YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>61932551

I'm not saying it's defective, but I just can't get it to thread in.

I have it in the position in the OP pic >>61932042

I lower it and try to screw#1 and it free spins eternally.

See Hexus forum. Known issue.

Return.

>>61933031

Thanks lad, am just looking through the threads. Do you have a link to a thread in particular?

>>61932042
you put the fucking processor on top of the rail it's intended to slide into is the problem. remove the processor, squeeze the blue tabs, and slide the CPU onto the rails until it clicks into position.

>>61933127

No I didn't, it is slotted in.

>>61933031
>See Hexus forum. Known issue.

Lad I can't find the thread.

He didn't buy the socket separately, he bought it with a motherboard, you dumbass.

>>61933168
NO SHIT. REALLY?

>>61932042
Intel does not have this problem. You made the wrong move, friend.
Just return it and get an i7.

>>61933162

I am British. What do you propose I do? If you were to come to my place and try and sort it out I doubt you would be able to. I have done everything like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtDpS6LiV1E And the #1 free spins.

>>61933185
>I am British.
Yeah buddy, it's okay.
You're all British to us, even after the tea party. No harsh feelings.

Looks like it might be an issue with the manufacturing.

Maybe find a longer screw.

>>61938521

First time buying parts lol.

>>61938599

The screws are not removable man, if I was a bit more techy I might remove them and put in some bigger screws.
