No, your socket is not bent. It matches the LGA1700 specification.

I understand I might be overreacting, but after a friend made a joke about the CPU/mobo making a loud creak sound during installation and needing to snap a photo, I compared it to other sockets. It seems consistent with what I see. Here’s an image: Thank you!

They don't always stay quiet; they make a sound when closing occasionally.

Basically if the mobo pins look fine, which you said they do. Thank you. I guess the ultimate test will be when the rest of the components ship.

The issue lies in the socket design itself, causing confusion about pin and pad dimensions. There are multiple sizes available, which may be misleading. Your socket remains perfectly acceptable.

Yeah, I saw the port looks uneven. Thanks a lot! It’s been a long time since I installed a CPU, and that “clunk” made me feel extra nervous.

It's interesting. Everyone tends to worry a lot about costly errors.

I know how you feel - every time I put the CPU in its socket I’m amazed at the amount of force required. But it’s designed that way so don’t worry about it.
