X399 Taichi: CPU protective cover missing?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My asrock taichi x399 baord also has foxconn socket and was extremely hard to thread the screw into the hole without putting a huge amount of force downwards. The screws are not long enough. This is a flaw with the foxconn socket itself. I had an MSI x399 board with a Lotes socket and it was VERY EASY to thread the screw into the hole, because the screw was a tiny bit longer. I did not have to push down it all. It simply screwed in with no effort.
Jayz2cents did a video on the screw threading issue explaining the exact same thing. Maybe you should look that up.\

Stop perpetuating the myth that "well you weren't doing it right" as you obviously haven't encountered the issue yourself.
