I have the x58 motherboard and the i7...and I was wondering how hard your suppose to push to force the lever down once you insert the i7..because i placed the i7 into the socket and it seemed like it went in smoothly..then i closed the metal case and went to push down the lever but it seemed like it was harder then it should be to push down and id rather not force anything. soo what do you think the problem is

Don't force it too hard. Just pull down the lever and lock it. No more force is necessary.
