welcome to Techquickie I'm Linus and in today's episode of 1 minute or less

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:10.639
we're going to show you how to install your AMD CPU step one is to lift the

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:15.839
retaining ARM step two align the little Golden

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:20.000
Triangle on the corner of the CPU with the little triangle-shaped marker on the

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:25.599
motherboard itself set the CPU down on the socket

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:31.039
giving it a little wiggle until it falls into place then you can lower the ARM

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.160
the box for your processor contains a CPU heat sink that has thermal compound

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.360
pre-applied to the bottom of it and an easy to use mounting mechanism that

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.680
doesn't require any special tools make sure that you remove the plastic cover

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:49.399
before proceeding with step three which is to place the CPU heat SN down on top

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:54.039
of the CPU ensuring that the fan cable coming out of the fan is as close to the

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:58.120
fan header on the motherboard labeled CPU as

00:00:55.879 --> 00:01:01.920
possible if the wires coming out of the fan ever get caught in the blades it can

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.280
cause the fan to stop spinning which can make your CPU overheat so to make Cable

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:11.960
Management a little bit easier I usually tie a knot in the wires before plugging

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:13.799
the wires into the CPU fan header now

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.600
that everything's in place the tool-free latch mechanism can be engaged first on

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:23.799
one side pushing it under the hook and then on the other side this

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:28.079
last step is very important moving the mounting ARM down into its locked

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.240
position puts the appropriate amount of pressure on top of the CPU to to Aid

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.000
with thermal transfer one other trick to get slightly better temperatures is to

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.799
give the heat sink a little wiggle to settle the thermal compound into place

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.799
