Step 1: Installing Processor and Heatsink
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparable damage.
2. Never force the processor into the socket.
3. Apply thermal paste between the processor and heatsink.
4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
5. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper
installation. Please change the insert orientation. Please use AMD approved cooling
fan.
1.1 The installation of the processor and heatsink is performed in four main steps:
Step 1-1. Processor insertion
Step 1-2. Applying thermal grease
Step 1-3. Heatsink attachment
Step 1-4. Connecting processor fan power
These steps are described in detail in the following paragraphs.
Step 1-1. First, check the processor pins to see that none are bent. Move the socket lever to the
unlocked position as shown in Figure 1 & Figure 2.(90´ to the plane of the motherboard) prior to
inserting the processor. The A1 pin location is designated on the processor by a copper triangle that
matches up to a triangle on the socket as shown in Figure 3. Align the processor to the socket and
gently lower it into place. Do not force the processor into the socket.
