Hey! My name is Kyle Hodge and today I am going to be explaining to you how to un-install and install motherboards. The next step is installing the CPU. You want to make sure that you lock the CPU into place by pressing down the latch, you will hear it click and you will know that the CPU is locked into place. After that you don't want to put the CPU with heat automatically because there is a small amount of space in between the CPU and the heat that you are going to have to fill with thorough paste. Now for a socket 939 processor like the one here, this is how you apply the thermal paste. You spread a little in the middle and make sure that it is not going to be too much so that when you place the heat on that it is going to be spilling over the side. You want to put just enough in the middle so that when you place the heat on top, it will spread evenly over the entire processor. That is how you install the CPU.
