Hey! It sounds like the latch is under a lot of pressure and might be damaged further. The scratches on the CPU suggest wear, so you should avoid forcing it. Try using a different tool or method to open it gently. If it won’t budge, consider consulting a professional.

The CPU is firmly seated, requiring significant pressure—more than anticipated for an LGA 1700 socket. It’s normal to feel concern about potential damage. Just apply more force.

I'm struggling to hold it with just one hand. It seems like it's about to fail if I push too much. This doesn't feel normal to me.

Yes, the arm will appear bent. I also needed two hands to help. It's typical—just position the arm under the hook and it should work!

I assembled the LGA1700 board for my parents in April, alongside a 10th generation unit for myself at the same time. It's clear you really needed more power for the LGA1700, and from what I remember it was a two-handed task for me. The newer system was much lighter. It fits perfectly in the socket as well.

I've assembled numerous computers over the years, featuring four distinct LGA 1700 models (one required multiple rebuilds, quite a tale). The LGA 1700 demands significant force to close, unlike most Intel sockets—only the LGA 1366 comes close, though 1700 remains superior. You'll need considerable effort to secure it, possibly requiring two hands. If closing isn't feasible, consider the Thermal Grizzly or Thermalright contact frames; they offer better reliability as the LGA 1700 retention system can warp CPUs over time.
