00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:09.679
I did a series of videos recently on installing CPUs and I covered am2 am3

00:00:06.279 --> 00:00:11.440
775 1156 and I just realized I never did

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

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

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

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.439
cover over the pins here that's to keep the very fragile pins inside the socket

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.640
from being damaged because this CPU itself only has pads you can actually

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

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

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

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

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.399
to do is push down on this ARM this

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

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

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.080
pulling it out away from the socket and lifting it up just like that okay so

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.880
that loosens this little piece right here which is what actually keeps the

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.439
CPU or the holder uh firmly in place

00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:21.759
then you just press on this little spot right here and lift up the cover next

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

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:29.720
attach the cover when the CPU is not installed yeah that's to protect this

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

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:38.360
labeled one yeah this says remove so you hold it by these two pieces right here

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

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:50.520
1,336 pins you touch those even with something as as delicate as like a fiber

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

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

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:05.759
two notches is one here focus focus one

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

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

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.800
the corners and never do this while you're looking at the socket through a

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:47.560
cover you can see that the pressure that holds the CPU in is actually from these

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.640
two spots right here so those two will press down on the heat spreader the CPU

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:57.440
right in the middle then you'll take this ARM and it this requires some Force

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.440
so you push it down put it under the oh

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

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:10.440
under the hook there you go you have installed the CPU in your 1366

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.440
motherboard you are a computer
