Introduction to LGA 775 CPU
The pin-pad side of LGA 775 CPU
Remember to apply some silicone heat transfer compound on it for better heat dispersion.
1. The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin.
2. Remove the cap from lever hinge side.
3. The pins of socket reveal.
4. Open the load lever.
5. Lift the load lever up and open the load plate.
6. After confirming the CPU direction for correct mating, put down the CPU in
the socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the
alignment keys are matched.
7. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the
CPU with pure vertical motion and reinstall.
8. Cover the load plate onto the package.
9. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate, and then secure the
lever with the hook under retention tab.
10. Align the holes on the mainboard with the cooler. Push down the cooler until
its four clips get wedged into the holes of the mainboard.
11. Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. Then rotate
the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it)
to lock the hooks.
12. Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are
correctly inserted.
Reminds You...
1. Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
2. Check the information in PC Health Status of H/W Monitor in BIOS for the CPU temperature.
3. Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damage.
4. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap
covered to avoid damage.
5. Due to the limitation of the mating/unmating CPU durability, we suggest that you do not
plug/unplug the CPU too often.
