Under Construction
Process
- Identify Processor Type (clean with rubbing alcohol if nececessary)
- Intel:
- Celeron?
- Celeron D?
- Celeron M?
- Core Duo?
- Pentium III?
- Pentium 4?
- Pentium D?
- Pentium M?
- AMD:
- Athlon?
- Athlon 64?
- Athlon 64 FX?
- Athlon 64 X2?
- Athlon MP?
- Athlon XP?
- Duron?
- Opteron?
- Sempron?
- Turion?
- VIA:
- C3?
- Identify Processor Socket Type (listed oldest to newest by make)
- AMD Slot A (Athlon)
- AMD Socket 462 (A) (Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron, Sempron)
- AMD Socket 754 (Athlon 64, Sempron, Turion)
- AMD Socket 940 (Athlon 64 FX, Opteron)
- AMD Socket 939 (Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Sempron, Athlon 64 FX, Opteron)
- AMD Socket AM2 (Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Sempron, Athlon 64 FX, Opteron)
- Intel Slot II (Pentium III, Celeron)
- Intel Socket 370 (Pentium III, Celeron, C3)
- Intel Socket 423 (Pentium 4, Celeron)
- Intel Socket 478 (Pentium 4, Celeron)
- Intel Socket 479 (Pentium M, Celeron M, Core Duo)
- Intel Socket 775 (T) (Pentium 4, Pentium D, Celeron D)
- Find a working motherboard compatible with the processor. This may be a challenge. The Advanced Testing Kit supports most socket 478 and socket 462 products. Test the motherboard with known working components to verify the functionality of the motherboard.
- Make sure the motherboard is grounded. This can be accomplished in several ways...
- Connected to a power supply that is plugged in and turned off.
- Installed in a case and connected to a power supply that is plugged in and turned off.
- Placed on an ESD safe grounding mat.
- Install the Processor
- Lift the arm of the ZIF socket to the vertical position.
- Check the pin orientation of the processor in relation to the socket. The processor will only fit in one way.
- Set the processor in the ZIF socket. The processor should drop right in without resistence, if it doesn't, recheck the orientation and check for bent pins.
- Lower the ZIF socket arm and click into place.
- Apply a small amount of thermal compound onto the processor, thinly coating the Die or Heatspreader. Carefully install a proper cooling unit (HSF).
- Plug the fan connector of the cooling unit (HSF) to the CPU Fan pin header of the motherboard.
