AMD confusion (and nonchalant intel talk)

What ever possessed you to force a CPU into its socket?

ok i think you missed it when i said the mobo was amd and the processor was amd. . .
--- Quote from: Natheria on February 06, 2010, 07:24:59 PM ---Well, his fail post a week ago had more to do with the fact that he saw an AM3 mobo that said "Supported CPU: Phenom II X4 / Phenom II X3" and went ahead and picked out an AM2+ Phenom II X4 without checking whether the sockets matched... but yeah.

yes that was indeed the problem. . .my bad as i said. . .i was unaware of those things (since till then i had never assembled AMD based pc´s)

my mistake i thought i had seen that u forced amd chip in intel socket either way the point remains valid

If it doesn't fit, you're not applying enough force. Sufficient force makes all CPUs fit all sockets! (User satisfaction not guaranteed)
Alternatively, apply a dremel/blade cutter until it fits.

Wow, how timely. Best Of Tom’s Hardware: Beginner’s Guide To Motherboard Selection.
I quote:
--- Quote ---A somewhat common worst-case scenario for first-time builders is to spend hundreds of dollars in parts, only to find that some won’t fit together. Less common is when parts that fit together don't work together. But the most frequent problem new builders face is an inappropriate component selection that limits the performance of their high-priced build, making it feel like a less-expensive machine. We'll try to help you avoid that awkward moment, when you realize this board won't fit into that enclosure.

That article may be written for first-timers, but I believe some of us *ahem* apparent "old-timers" can pick up some useful advice too.

ROFL. Now that, was good :D
But even if you are incredibly lazy, please just read Lifehacker's guide at the very least. It is very condensed, and would probably amount to maybe 3 pages if you printed the entire thing.
