WEBVTT 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 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:17.160 your brand new LGA 2011 CPU into your 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:22.279 motherboard and the other is how to mount the Corsair h100 to your brand new 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.199 2011 board because this is one of the few high-end aftermarket coolers that is 00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:30.840 coming right out of the box with compatibility for socket 2011 or LGA 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 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 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:44.280 wall that is the way to ground yourself correctly the next thing is you're going 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 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 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.039 on it so that's the latch to undo first 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 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:07.600 the heart rate monitor thing looks like that okay electroc cardiograph I don't 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 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:16.040 little bit and you are going to lift up 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:17.640 the cover so there now everything is up 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 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 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 00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.399 going to carefully examine your CPU socket and look for the two notches that 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 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.200 is to see the little gold triangle in the corner here and align that with the 00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:48.520 triangle on the socket itself can you see that triangle okay not really there 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 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 00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.719 when you're putting this down because there are more than 2,000 pins in that 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.320 socket every single one one of them has to line up and contact perfectly the pad 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 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.319 2,000 little pads they all have to be perfect so be very careful with your 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.080 socket because most motherboard manufacturers and most retailers will 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.080 not cover you if you screw this up and 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 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.800 little uh 90° Bend in it then we are 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 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 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 00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:48.159 apply a fairly large amount of thermal compound compared to what we're used to 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 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.159 just like that and then I'm going to 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 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.080 comes with it have a look at the back plate there's your standard back plate 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.640 and we're also using uh the standard mounting hardware 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 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:20.519 simple so then you take your h100 CPU block you go ahead and it comes preut 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:26.480 preconfigured to be completely compatible with LGA 2011 and for some 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.040 reason this is uh this is caught on here 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:34.080 that's interesting come on need a little bit 00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:39.000 more slack a little bit more slack there 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.599 we go okay so we just lower that down on 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.480 the appropriate pegs and finally we take our four thumb 00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:46.480 screws 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.319 and screw it down yes that is it it is 00:03:51.319 --> 00:04:01.680 that simple to install your h100 on 00:03:57.079 --> 00:04:03.760 the hold on just a minute 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:10.879 we're going to have to refilm so um yeah we learned something 00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:19.280 um instead of using the standard Intel procedure which is to use the Intel pegs 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:21.320 and then screw those into the back plate 00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:27.720 the back plate even though it has the appropriate holes for 2011 the spacing 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:31.440 is right you don't use it you actually 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:34.880 use these ones you screw them directly 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.520 into the built-in front plate it's more 00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:42.400 of a front plate than a back plate and that is how you will Mount the 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 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:52.199 Mount the h100 so that it sits down firmly on the 00:04:48.919 --> 00:04:53.440 CPU because with the other pegs people 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 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.759 turned on the CPU if you use those longer pegs 00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:07.800 then what's going to happen is you're not actually going to have any contact 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:09.680 between your h100 and the CPU itself at 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:14.039 all so we're going to go ahead and tighten down our thumb screws in a 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:18.680 diagonal pattern so I usually tighten both of them at the same time then we 00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:21.880 get tighter start tightening them in 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:25.960 crosses until they 00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:30.800 are all the way tightened and there we 00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:33.919 go we have installed our LG LGA 2011 CPU 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.840 and we have installed our Corsair h100 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 00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:45.360 standard Intel mounting hardware which works like this and goes through the 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:49.720 board because it just uses this plate that's built into the motherboard to 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 00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:01.039 bowing not very much at all cuz it does have this to increase the rigidity of 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 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:10.160 it from bowing so you can actually here you can see that surface there is quite 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.639 flat in spite of the tremendous pressure that's being applied by the h100
