Sussed it!! No it aint fixed but I have found out what I did wrong. In the midst of painting the grill and fan on top of the heatsink, the clip with hooks either side has ended up the wrong way around.
So even though the contours of the underside matched the cpu perfectly, over the ledge etc, the clip did not. The side with the bit for pushing it down with a screwdriver was not on the ledge section of the socket, it was on the bottom of the cpu facing down the mobo.
Even though it went on perfectly, the pressure from pushing down on the cpu and not the ledge crushed the core. I never understood why that ledge was there, until no, dohhhh.
Any1 agree with this anaylsis? Also, this being correct, does it mean I need a new mobo?
