How do you tell if CPU is not seated properly?

1. If the CPU is NOT lined up properly (as in the arrows on both the CPU and Motherboard are not on the same corner) you will probably end up bending some of the pins on the CPU which in turn renders the CPU useless.
2. If it is lined up properly then you won’t need to apply masses of force anyway.
