welcome to Techquickie I'm Linus and in today's episode of 1 minute or less
we're going to show you how to install your AMD CPU step one is to lift the
retaining ARM step two align the little Golden
Triangle on the corner of the CPU with the little triangle-shaped marker on the
motherboard itself set the CPU down on the socket
giving it a little wiggle until it falls into place then you can lower the ARM
the box for your processor contains a CPU heat sink that has thermal compound
pre-applied to the bottom of it and an easy to use mounting mechanism that
doesn't require any special tools make sure that you remove the plastic cover
before proceeding with step three which is to place the CPU heat SN down on top
of the CPU ensuring that the fan cable coming out of the fan is as close to the
fan header on the motherboard labeled CPU as
possible if the wires coming out of the fan ever get caught in the blades it can
cause the fan to stop spinning which can make your CPU overheat so to make Cable
Management a little bit easier I usually tie a knot in the wires before plugging
the wires into the CPU fan header now
that everything's in place the tool-free latch mechanism can be engaged first on
one side pushing it under the hook and then on the other side this
last step is very important moving the mounting ARM down into its locked
position puts the appropriate amount of pressure on top of the CPU to to Aid
with thermal transfer one other trick to get slightly better temperatures is to
give the heat sink a little wiggle to settle the thermal compound into place
