00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:11.480
so I had someone send me a message on my uh my YouTube messages today um and they

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:13.799
asked me how to install an LGA 1156 CPU

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.920
so that kind of inspired me to do a series of CPU installation tips so I've

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:22.800
got an Intel confidential CPU I can't tell you what that is but the first one

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:30.679
I'm going to be doing is how to install a CPU in an LGA 1156 motherboard so step

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.520
one would be find a CPU okay so as long

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:37.079
as you've completed that the actual first step would be to take the lever

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:42.039
here and then you push down a little bit pull it out to the side and then lift it

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.879
up actually you don't need to lift much because it's it's kind of springloaded

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:53.199
here so you can see the pressure that the ARM is uh putting down over here and

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:56.320
that actually forces the um socket to

00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:58.519
slide under this bolt okay so that's

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:04.080
what is giving the pressure to hold your CPU in so you pull out lift up the ARM

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:07.799
that's going to cause this to sort of Y there we go lift up so once that

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:13.280
protective cover is removed you should remove any cats from the vicinity

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:18.400
because cats will cause all kinds of problems during CPU installation step

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:23.119
two would be to see that little place where it says remove remove that so you

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.720
hold your thumb under there lift it up okay so you're removing the protective

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:29.200
cover from the LGA 1156 socket this is

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:33.960
the part where it could get hairy if you have a cat so there's

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:38.920
1,156 pins in there all of which need to make perfect contact with the

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.360
1,156 pins on the bottom of your CPU now you see these two notches up at the top

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:47.600
here right there and then at the bottom right here those two notches need to

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:53.479
line up with The Notches in the socket which are here and here okay so I got to

00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:00.079
line up my CPU which means it's going to go in some kind of different orientation

00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.799
hold on put it this way ah this is

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.719
harder than it looks folks I'm looking through the camera installing a CPU so

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:10.080
you get it lined up just right so you can see my notches are where they belong

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:13.239
drop it into the socket being very careful I like to give it a little bit

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:19.319
of a wiggle just to make sure it's in the right spot then you take the cover

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.160
here you put it right where it goes sort of so that it can slide down here so you

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:27.360
just it's going to be loose that's normal okay so then you take the

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.480
lever pull it all the way down there's going to you're applying some pressure

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.959
here like that actually is putting a fair amount of force back on my finger

00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:39.480
so once you do that you can see that the CPU is actually held in by these two

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.519
tabs right here more than anything else so those line up with a little metal tab

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:48.000
on the heat spreader and that's what gives your CPU the force downward that

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:53.239
it needs to ensure it makes good contact with the pads in the socket so thank you

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.519
for checking out my installation tip for

00:02:53.239 --> 00:02:59.959
LGA 1156 more to come
