00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:09.920
welcome to Techquickie today we're going to show you how to install your Intel CPU using LGA 1156 or 1155 as fast

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:14.920
as possible the first step is to find the little Golden Triangle on your CPU

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:20.519
and align that with either the little plastic triangle on the cover

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:25.279
or once you've removed the cover the metal triangle that is on the CPU socket

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:30.039
itself in The Next Step push the retention ARM lever down pull away from

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:36.280
the socket and then it will loosen it self you can then pull it up and move

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:38.120
the hold down bracket out of the way

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:45.120
after that remembering where the gold triangle of points place don't press

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.920
place the CPU into the socket giving it a slight wiggle just to ensure that it

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:54.520
is seated correctly lower the hold down plate making sure that it actually sits

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:58.399
under this screw right here then lower the retention ARM until you feel some

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.079
resistance brace yourself because this does take a little bit of force push it

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:08.320
down all the way pull out and then make sure that it's pinned by the hook on the

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.960
retention plate the heat sink included with your CPU comes with a quality

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.360
thermal compound pre-applied however there is a trick with these push pin

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:21.400
style heat sinks and that is if you're reusing it you not only need to reapply

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.479
new thermal compound but watch out for

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.799
these arrows right here you can see that they do rotate 90° so I'm going to turn

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.240
it in the direction of the arrow turning it the direction the arrows pointed

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:36.159
optimizes it for removal turning it away from that direction optimizes it for

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.960
installation so we want to make sure they'll they're all turned clockwise

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.040
before we install it when positioning the heat sink over the socket make sure

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:49.000
that the plastic pins stick through all four holes in the motherboard the

00:01:46.759 --> 00:01:53.920
easiest way to check this is to rotate the heat sink a little bit and see if

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.600
all of the pins move just like this if they do then they should all be through

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:02.920
the holes you also want to make sure that you have enough slack on the CPU

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:07.000
fan wire to reach the CPU fan header on your motherboard the safest way to

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:12.560
tighten the heat sink on is to apply force on opposite

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.360
Corners at the same time there are two ways to tell that the installation was

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.080
successful number one is to listen for the distinctive

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:27.720
click the other way is to flip the board over and make sure that the black

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:32.760
plastic sticks out as far as the white plastic if it doesn't it's possible that

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:37.080
you'll have to tighten it a little bit there we go now we heard the click these

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:42.239
inel heat sinks often come with the fan wires wrapped in such a way that the fan

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:47.040
blades can't move unless you loosen them so take them

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:49.239
out what I often do is Twist them up

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.519
tuck them away somewhere safe and then plug them into the labeled CPU fan

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:57.640
header on the motherboard thanks for checking out this

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:01.200
episode of fast as possible make sure you subscribe to Techquickie and also

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.440
like the video it helps us out a lot share this video with anyone who you

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:09.239
think would benefit from it including embedding it on your website consider

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:11.319
this my go-ahead to well go ahead also

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:15.040
if you can think of any other fastest Possible episodes that you'd like to see

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.599
click the link in the description to post in the Forum thread we will monitor

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.799
that and we will make sure that we check it out again thanks for watching and see

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.799
