00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:15,000
So today we're going to show you guys a couple of things one is how to install

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:17,160
your brand new LGA 2011 CPU into your

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,279
motherboard and the other is how to mount the Corsair h100 to your brand new

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,199
2011 board because this is one of the few high-end aftermarket coolers that is

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,840
coming right out of the box with compatibility for socket 2011 or LGA

6
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,200
2011 so the first thing to do is make sure before you touch any of your gear

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:39,640
you have correctly grounded yourself which means touching the casing of a power supply that is plugged into the

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,280
wall that is the way to ground yourself correctly the next thing is you're going

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,840
to go ahead and set your CPU aside I know I'm holding the CPU in the first

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:54,520
place but it is what it is and you're going to undo the latch with the U shape

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,039
on it so that's the latch to undo first

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:02,440
then you are going to undo the latch with the sort of looks like uh what's

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,600
the heart rate monitor thing looks like that okay electroc cardiograph I don't

14
00:01:05,479 --> 00:01:12,320
know what they're called uh and then you are going to pull up on this one a

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,040
little bit and you are going to lift up

16
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:17,640
the cover so there now everything is up

17
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:23,159
the next thing you're going to do is you are going to align The Notches so you

18
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:28,159
can see there are actually 1 two three four notches in the 2011 CPU two of them

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,759
are closer to the edge and two of them are further from the edge so you're

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,399
going to carefully examine your CPU socket and look for the two notches that

21
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,000
are closer to the edge and the two that are further the other way you can check

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,200
is to see the little gold triangle in the corner here and align that with the

23
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,520
triangle on the socket itself can you see that triangle okay not really there

24
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:53,040
go until you can see the triangle better there you go there's the triangle so you

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,880
align those two and you will never get it wrong now you want to be very careful

26
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:00,719
when you're putting this down because there are more than 2,000 pins in that

27
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:05,320
socket every single one one of them has to line up and contact perfectly the pad

28
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:10,239
on the bottom of the CPU so remember the bottom of a 2011 CPU looks like that yes

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,319
2,000 little pads they all have to be perfect so be very careful with your

30
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:19,080
socket because most motherboard manufacturers and most retailers will

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,080
not cover you if you screw this up and

32
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:26,560
you break your socket so we're going to go ahead and put down the one with the

33
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,800
little uh 90° Bend in it then we are

34
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:34,920
going to tighten down the one with the U shape we have installed the CPU into the

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,519
socket the next thing I'm going to need is some thermal compound and I thought I

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:43,959
saw some around here just like a minute ago there it is okay so I'm going to

37
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:48,159
apply a fairly large amount of thermal compound compared to what we're used to

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:54,280
this is a very big CPU so I'm going to go ahead and put a line down the CPU

39
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:57,159
just like that and then I'm going to

40
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,560
take my h100 which you can see the h100 we're just using the the back plate that

41
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:04,080
comes with it have a look at the back plate there's your standard back plate

42
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:08,640
and we're also using uh the standard mounting hardware

43
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,959
that comes with it just screw that into the back plate and that's it it's that

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:20,519
simple so then you take your h100 CPU block you go ahead and it comes preut

45
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:26,480
preconfigured to be completely compatible with LGA 2011 and for some

46
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,040
reason this is uh this is caught on here

47
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:34,080
that's interesting come on need a little bit

48
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:39,000
more slack a little bit more slack there

49
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,599
we go okay so we just lower that down on

50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,480
the appropriate pegs and finally we take our four thumb

51
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
screws

52
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,319
and screw it down yes that is it it is

53
00:03:51,319 --> 00:04:01,680
that simple to install your h100 on

54
00:03:57,079 --> 00:04:03,760
the hold on just a minute

55
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:10,879
we're going to have to refilm so um yeah we learned something

56
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:19,280
um instead of using the standard Intel procedure which is to use the Intel pegs

57
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,320
and then screw those into the back plate

58
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:27,720
the back plate even though it has the appropriate holes for 2011 the spacing

59
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:31,440
is right you don't use it you actually

60
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:34,880
use these ones you screw them directly

61
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,520
into the built-in front plate it's more

62
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,400
of a front plate than a back plate and that is how you will Mount the

63
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,280
h100 here we go after you've cleaned it off of course how that is how you will

64
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:52,199
Mount the h100 so that it sits down firmly on the

65
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:53,440
CPU because with the other pegs people

66
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:59,000
and you know what someone's going to make this mistake I made this mistake and it's a good thing I noticed before I

67
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:01,759
turned on the CPU if you use those longer pegs

68
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:07,800
then what's going to happen is you're not actually going to have any contact

69
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:09,680
between your h100 and the CPU itself at

70
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,039
all so we're going to go ahead and tighten down our thumb screws in a

71
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:18,680
diagonal pattern so I usually tighten both of them at the same time then we

72
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,880
get tighter start tightening them in

73
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,960
crosses until they

74
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:30,800
are all the way tightened and there we

75
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:33,919
go we have installed our LG LGA 2011 CPU

76
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,840
and we have installed our Corsair h100

77
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:41,319
on it remember guys you do not need the back plate and you do not need the

78
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:45,360
standard Intel mounting hardware which works like this and goes through the

79
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:49,720
board because it just uses this plate that's built into the motherboard to

80
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:56,840
install now one thing I do want to check out is how much the board is uh

81
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:01,039
bowing not very much at all cuz it does have this to increase the rigidity of

82
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:05,240
the board as a whole and then it has that front plate to keep it from to keep

83
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:10,160
it from bowing so you can actually here you can see that surface there is quite

84
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,639
flat in spite of the tremendous pressure that's being applied by the h100 thank
