That the motherboard? I always had the most trouble not with getting the CPU in but with taking it out whenever I needed to do that. Those damn things latch so tight and I didn’t realize there is (or was, this was 10+ years ago…) a spot on the side of the latch for a Phillips head screwdriver to perfectly fit to create leverage to pop the latch open. So I nearly ruined a motherboard trying to get the CPU out before
But I’ve def been there where I built a PC from all separate parts and then hit the power button and nothing. Then I had to start messing with the firmware bios on the motherboard by moving tiny little plastic square things around to various metal spikes on the board. Then I could get it to boot but it would turn on then immediately turn off. Lol. I eventually got it working though. But again this was 10 years ago
If it powers on and up first try I’d say damn, you skilled and lucky lol
