00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.799
so this will be one of the last in my series of CPU installation tutorials now

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

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:16.160
got the four uh bolt through okay which

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

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

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:32.200
plus am3 754 and 939 so this is going to

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:36.200
be the same CPU installation procedure regardless of which one of those sockets

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:41.120
you're using so this particular one yeah there you can see it say socket am2

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.320
right there so it's 940 pins as I recall

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:45.559
so TPU now with the Intel installation

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

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.520
these are not fragile as long as you don't manage to like Drop metal shards

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.280
or something inside those holes you're not going to run into any problems with

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:06.840
uh physical contact with the socket with AMD CPUs at least the consumer ones at

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:08.920
this point the fragile part is actually

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.439
on the CPU itself so this is an AMD sempron they usually come in this kind

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

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:23.280
that the CPU actually has all of the pins on it

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

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.960
I'm notorious for accidentally bending pins on CPUs but I'm quite good at

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

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

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:47.719
while 3400 I don't know okay so CPU

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.759
installation on am2 am3 and 2 plus am 3

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.880
plus if that ever exists I have no idea is fairly straightforward you see this

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

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:04.640
side I mean the triangle here that's going to correspond to a triangle on the

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

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

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

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

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:26.200
it's probably just a matter of getting the lighting just right hope I'm looking

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

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

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:39.840
okay anyway there's a little plastic indent in the shape of a triangle so you

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

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:46.280
lever here and lift it up okay so you see the socket actually moves a little

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.640
bit when you do that that's not the motherboard moving that's the socket so

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:54.599
this is a zi or zero insertion for socket which means when I line up the

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:59.239
triangle with the other triangle oh now you can see it hey that's perfect with

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

00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.680
this from the side but it dropped right into the socket without me pressing it

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.680
in at all so I just kind of take it line it up

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

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

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.200
not at all like the Intel sockets that was it then you install

00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:28.200
your cooler so I removed it from the protective clam shell which has the

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.599
little fuzzy on the bottom to protect the pins and then put in the socket

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:37.959
pretty simple thanks for checking out my installation video for am2 am3 am2 plus

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:43.000
754 939 that's

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

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:47.560
let's try this one more time
