welcome to Techquickie today we're going to show you how to install your Intel CPU using LGA 1156 or 1155 as fast
0:07
as possible the first step is to find the little Golden Triangle on your CPU
0:12
and align that with either the little plastic triangle on the cover
0:17
or once you've removed the cover the metal triangle that is on the CPU socket
0:23
itself in The Next Step push the retention ARM lever down pull away from
0:27
the socket and then it will loosen it self you can then pull it up and move
0:33
the hold down bracket out of the way
0:36
after that remembering where the gold triangle of points place don't press
0:42
place the CPU into the socket giving it a slight wiggle just to ensure that it
0:47
is seated correctly lower the hold down plate making sure that it actually sits
0:52
under this screw right here then lower the retention ARM until you feel some
0:56
resistance brace yourself because this does take a little bit of force push it
1:00
down all the way pull out and then make sure that it's pinned by the hook on the
1:05
retention plate the heat sink included with your CPU comes with a quality
1:09
thermal compound pre-applied however there is a trick with these push pin
1:13
style heat sinks and that is if you're reusing it you not only need to reapply
1:17
new thermal compound but watch out for
1:21
these arrows right here you can see that they do rotate 90° so I'm going to turn
1:26
it in the direction of the arrow turning it the direction the arrows pointed
1:29
optimizes it for removal turning it away from that direction optimizes it for
1:34
installation so we want to make sure they'll they're all turned clockwise
1:39
before we install it when positioning the heat sink over the socket make sure
1:43
that the plastic pins stick through all four holes in the motherboard the
1:46
easiest way to check this is to rotate the heat sink a little bit and see if
1:51
all of the pins move just like this if they do then they should all be through
1:55
the holes you also want to make sure that you have enough slack on the CPU
2:00
fan wire to reach the CPU fan header on your motherboard the safest way to
2:04
tighten the heat sink on is to apply force on opposite
2:09
Corners at the same time there are two ways to tell that the installation was
2:14
successful number one is to listen for the distinctive
2:19
click the other way is to flip the board over and make sure that the black
2:25
plastic sticks out as far as the white plastic if it doesn't it's possible that
2:30
you'll have to tighten it a little bit there we go now we heard the click these
2:34
inel heat sinks often come with the fan wires wrapped in such a way that the fan
2:39
blades can't move unless you loosen them so take them
2:43
out what I often do is Twist them up
2:47
tuck them away somewhere safe and then plug them into the labeled CPU fan
2:51
header on the motherboard thanks for checking out this
