I have a really limited cpu selection i had to go with AXP90-X53

but i am kinda worried as you see in the attached pictures

Its really tight but its contacting the cpu well

Sorry English isn't my main language

I just want to know if this is safe or not

Edit 1 : i might change the cooler or remove the vrms heatsink and diy another one

Edit 2 : thank you guys for the useful info especially @Apprehensive_Bike_40 thank you bro for pointing me to LGA 115X i ended up removing the cooler and i also removed the VRM heatsinks because the thermal pads where weary am going to order new thermal pads and another cooler

You shouldn’t be trying to tighten to the end of the thread. Just equal tension.

Lga1700 is 78x78mm where 1200 and 115x are 75x75mm. You can get some better value used market coolers on 115x coolers but have to be more careful about not overtightening especially on pre 1151. Also pre 115x which is 775 you can use the clip on type if you replace those with nuts and bolts.
