Hardware Installation Process Figure 3. A1 pin location on the Socket and Processor.Move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the processor. Step 4. When the processor installation is completed, apply thermal grease to the processor(as shown in Figure 4) prior to installing the heatsink. AMD recommends using a high thermal conductivity grease for the thermal interface material rather than a phase change material. Phase change materials develop strong adhesive forces between the heatsink and processor. Removing the heatsink under such conditions can cause the processor to be removed from the socket without moving the socket lever to the unlocked position and then damage the processor pins or socket contacts. ** We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.) iFigure 4.
