1. Open the CPU socket lever on your motherboard by lifting it gently. 2. Align the golden triangle on the CPU with the triangle marker on the socket (do not force it). 3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket ensuring all pins/contacts align properly. 4. Close the socket lever - it will require some pressure but should not be excessively difficult. 5. Apply a small pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU (unless your cooler has pre-applied paste). 6. Install your CPU cooler according to its specific instructions. 7. Connect the CPU cooler's power cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. Important: Never touch the gold pins/contacts on the CPU or socket. Handle the CPU by its edges only.
