Thank You for the help. I called AMD tech help this morning. He happen to have a Gigabyte motherboard handy. Yes, it does take
quite abit of pressure to lower the lock handle and lock it. I hope they mention this in the next cpu manual revision. I really like AMD
tech dept.. This is the second time I have called them and the problem was quickly solved. Thanks again.
