1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,799
so this will be one of the last in my series of CPU installation tutorials now

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:13,599
this is actually what is this this is an am2 motherboard okay so you can see it's

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:16,160
got the four uh bolt through okay which

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:21,279
is standard for am2 the older LG or from LGA the older socket 754 and 939 only

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:29,480
had two bolts but they did have the same clip system that AMD uses with am2 am2

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,200
plus am3 754 and 939 so this is going to

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:36,200
be the same CPU installation procedure regardless of which one of those sockets

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:41,120
you're using so this particular one yeah there you can see it say socket am2

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,320
right there so it's 940 pins as I recall

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,559
so TPU now with the Intel installation

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,879
videos I did you could see that there was a protective cover over the socket on the motherboard not the case with AMD

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,520
these are not fragile as long as you don't manage to like Drop metal shards

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,280
or something inside those holes you're not going to run into any problems with

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:06,840
uh physical contact with the socket with AMD CPUs at least the consumer ones at

15
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:08,920
this point the fragile part is actually

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,439
on the CPU itself so this is an AMD sempron they usually come in this kind

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,119
of a clam shell with a with a fuzzy bit at the bottom and the reason for that is

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,280
that the CPU actually has all of the pins on it

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:28,040
so you can see that this one I have not managed to bend any of the pins on yet

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,960
I'm notorious for accidentally bending pins on CPUs but I'm quite good at

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,880
fixing them at this point that's the good news so I got my semon what is this

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:43,280
3,000 Plus or something I don't know what it is haven't used this guy in a

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:47,719
while 3400 I don't know okay so CPU

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,759
installation on am2 am3 and 2 plus am 3

25
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:53,880
plus if that ever exists I have no idea is fairly straightforward you see this

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,600
little Golden Triangle on the corner of the CPU I don't mean the circle on this

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:04,640
side I mean the triangle here that's going to correspond to a triangle on the

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,879
CPU socket so ah this is going to be tough for you to see and I apologize in

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,480
advance for that but I'm going to see how close I can get here to give you a

30
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:17,640
good look at that triangle so it's on the corner that I'm showing you right

31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,920
now I'm going to try and get you a better look at it if I can let me see

32
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:26,200
it's probably just a matter of getting the lighting just right hope I'm looking

33
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,560
at the right yeah so it's actually okay I might just have to describe it oh no

34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,319
there we go okay I think you can see it now if I kind of cover it a little bit

35
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:39,840
okay anyway there's a little plastic indent in the shape of a triangle so you

36
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,840
line that up oh I didn't even cover the first step first step is you take the

37
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:46,280
lever here and lift it up okay so you see the socket actually moves a little

38
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:50,640
bit when you do that that's not the motherboard moving that's the socket so

39
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,599
this is a zi or zero insertion for socket which means when I line up the

40
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,239
triangle with the other triangle oh now you can see it hey that's perfect with

41
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:04,040
the other triangle and I place it on top there you go it dropped here I'll do

42
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:07,680
this from the side but it dropped right into the socket without me pressing it

43
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,680
in at all so I just kind of take it line it up

44
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,799
and then Boop it's in that's all it takes so there's there there's no real

45
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Force required I mean when you push down the lever there's a tiny bit but it's

46
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,200
not at all like the Intel sockets that was it then you install

47
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:28,200
your cooler so I removed it from the protective clam shell which has the

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,599
little fuzzy on the bottom to protect the pins and then put in the socket

49
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,959
pretty simple thanks for checking out my installation video for am2 am3 am2 plus

50
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:43,000
754 939 that's

51
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:47,560
it oh I I'm trying to hit the end recording button but it's not working

52
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:47,560
let's try this one more time
