Apparently you're doing it wrong. Read the motherboard manual if you're new to this.

You are doing it wrong.... CPUs fit pretty easily and intuitively are you sure the processor seat is open?

The mobo manuals tells me how to install the CPU ,basically my CPU's Pin1 and it's notches are different compared what it is in the CPU socket .

This is how an Intel CPU should look like:

And this is how new motherboard socket look like (after removing the protector):

When you unlock the socket, it should be like this:

After installing the CPU on the motherboard (focus on the golden tiny mark):

Thanks I messed up the socket part and figured out the CPU is faulty . @Abobobily lock the thread

[MENTION=23281]shahzadfootball[/MENTION] ! What do you mean by "CPU faulty"? I am just curious.

B75 chipset is LGA1155 socket and 2600k should've fit just fine.

What he means is that he damaged the CPU by installing it incorrectly. A faulty CPU would never leave the factory floor.
