00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:09,679
I did a series of videos recently on installing CPUs and I covered am2 am3

2
00:00:06,279 --> 00:00:11,440
775 1156 and I just realized I never did

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:18,160
1366 so I'm going to walk you through the procedure to install a CPU in socket

4
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:22,920
1366 so this is Intel's x58 platform the board I'll be demoing today is the ASUS

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,519
Rampage 3 Extreme so the first thing you want to do you see it's got a protective

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,439
cover over the pins here that's to keep the very fragile pins inside the socket

7
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:34,640
from being damaged because this CPU itself only has pads you can actually

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,000
touch the bottom of a CPU it's not the best thing to do but uh you could there

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:45,680
I showed you I did it and um and it won't be nearly as easy to damage as

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:49,399
something like the CPU socket so oh my camera keeps focusing on that RAM so I'm

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:56,199
going to just sort of shift my angle here and see if I can get it to focus on the socket so the first thing you want

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,399
to do is push down on this ARM this

13
00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:01,239
lever here and then pull it away from the socket so here I'm going to do a

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,239
close up there so you can see what I'm doing so I'm taking that ARM and I'm

15
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:10,080
pulling it out away from the socket and lifting it up just like that okay so

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:15,880
that loosens this little piece right here which is what actually keeps the

17
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,439
CPU or the holder uh firmly in place

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:21,759
then you just press on this little spot right here and lift up the cover next

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,880
what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to always something

20
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,720
attach the cover when the CPU is not installed yeah that's to protect this

21
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:34,159
socket so then you pick this up and let me see if I can find which one is the

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,360
labeled one yeah this says remove so you hold it by these two pieces right here

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:44,920
and then you lift up that side pull the whole thing out and that's where you see

24
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:50,520
1,336 pins you touch those even with something as as delicate as like a fiber

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:56,159
from your shirt you can easily bend a pin or even rip them they are very very

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:03,360
fragile so the next thing you're going to do is take your 1366 CPU which has

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,759
two notches is one here focus focus one

28
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:10,280
here and one over here you'll line that up with the two notches in the socket

29
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:16,000
which are here and here and then you put the CPU in be very careful to line up

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,800
the corners and never do this while you're looking at the socket through a

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,599
camera always be looking directly at the socket do as I say not as I do so I

32
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:27,560
always give the CPU a bit of a wiggle just to make sure it's seated correctly

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,959
because if it's in there crooked like if it's sitting like this and you go and

34
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,840
and put the cover down on it and secure it you're just going to bend the heck

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,280
out of your socket so you just take that put it in there's no Force involved you

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,200
just kind of give it a bit of a wiggle there you go so then you pull down this

37
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,560
cover you can see that the pressure that holds the CPU in is actually from these

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,640
two spots right here so those two will press down on the heat spreader the CPU

39
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:57,440
right in the middle then you'll take this ARM and it this requires some Force

40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,440
so you push it down put it under the oh

41
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,879
that was bad just make sure that's still in there okay yep pull it down put it

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:10,440
under the hook there you go you have installed the CPU in your 1366

43
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:10,440
motherboard you are a computer
