Do not touch the pins like in this video…..LOL

I have an AM3+ mobo but I’m missing the top cpu mounting bracket. I can
tell the bracket your using would not work on my board and would cover up
some of the “electronics” on the board near the cpu but I can’t find any
cpu brackets for am3+ online. My brackets are single pieces unconnected
from eachother.

Андрей Герус says:

Thank for your movie lesson

djdis69 says:

Why on earth are you putting your greasy fingers all over the CPU pins???
You’re a fuckign crazy person!!!

Sanjeeb Sarkar says:

can i put a am3+ cpu in a am3 socket.. i know this isnt possible, i was
just hoping there might be a way to put a am3+ processor in a am3 socket..

Suggest me a processor fan for a biostar A780lb board

i spinned the fan and the cooler fell into pieces wat do?

Jussi Virtanen says:

If I am lost this “orange ring”, how can I install a cooler?

Unhitable1 says:

Never spread the damn thermal paste. Apply a pea-sized blob directly in the
middle of your cpu, (this is where all of your cores meet and is where the
heat is pulled from the most efficient). The heatsink will evenly
distribute the paste as you lock it into place. Spreading can cause paste
to squeeze out the sides onto your motherboard, and if its a high quality
paste with metals in it for better heat transfer such as Artic Silver, it
will fry your motherboard and cpu.

Sarmed Alwan says:

lol is that a metaphor for “Go grab your credit card – you need a new
heatsink”, or does spinning the fan not damage it? Because I spun mine at
the first opportunity I got, and I was gonna swap the stock cooler out for
a better one anyway, but I just wanna know.

17GigaHertz says:

No problem. You can’t know that if you are not using one. xD

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@XxSaintkillaxX It should fit fine 😀 good luck with your build!

Crocrok X says:

what is the name of the orange piece ???

Phillip Pirikahu says:

All good, thanks for watching! 🙂

Lowonfuel says:

@SlimChance718 also works only with DDR3 RAM. The Minimum and Recommended
system requirements to play Heroes of Newerth, are found at:

helps.

Phillip Pirikahu says:

You should never have to remove the socket. You just remove the cooler
holder bracket if you wish to install a cooler with a custom bracket.

6inchlund says:

Can U Post The Video for Removing the CPU Fan. AM a newbie i tried to
remove the fan as my temp. is reaching above 50 degrees but am not able to
remove the CPU Fan as it is too much tight with crosshair v formula z
motherboard

Amuffin says:

Just curious. If i put the cooler without any thermal paste, and boot, what
will happen to the cpu? Will the cooler still work?

Phillip Pirikahu says:

You sure can! But an AM3+ CPU won’t work in an AM3 board. 🙁

Sofasoldier says:

@GuideToUsing And it only took me all of last summer to make the money 😀
Summer well spent.

Vincent Roy Diaz says:

Ohw you forgot about connecting the CPU_FAN into the motherboard. Please be
careful of those cakes! I don’t want overcooked cakes.

shthouserat says:

@GuideToUsing yes definitely, i just went back and checked the site, manual
and packaging, and it turns out this model has the am3+ bios already
installed so we’re good. thanks. and nice vid btw

17GigaHertz says:

I couldn’t see that on iPhone…… Thats why I wrote that

Nudleloff says:

@GuideToUsing My motherboard is NF520T-C35

Marcelo Lazzaro says:

mine says it has a water cooling device (hasn’t arrived just yet) is it the
same installation?

azerty dupont says:

ok thanck you

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@MrRaksasok Sorry man but it that particular Motherboard does not support
any CPU better than a Athlon 64 X2 6000+. If you want something better then
that you’ll need to buy a new motherboard. 🙁

Sarmed Alwan says:

What happens if you spin the fan?

Raksasok Heng says:

The model features the M2N61-AX OEM motherboard made by ASUS and uses
nVidia GeForce 6150 integrated graphics with the nForce 430i chipset, and
has two PCI slots, one PCI-e X1 and one PCI-e X16 1.0a slot. thank you bro

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@Sazkuki Glad to hear it all worked out. 🙂 Thanks for the sub!

Sofasoldier says:

@GuideToUsing Already built and tuned it. Battlefield 3 at 130 fps. I’m set
for the next six years. lol

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@Sazkuki Have you updated the BIOS? Generally when a CPU is unsupported by
a motherboard it’ll run at a much lower speed then normal for safety. You
may want to check your CPU clocks in CPU-Z. If they are at the right speeds
while the system is under load you should not see any performance issues in
games or applications.

Phillip Pirikahu says:

Hi there. For starters, you’ll want to ensure your motherboard even
supports the CPU. AMD has toyed with compatibility with the last two
sockets. Second, it is absolutely fine to be scared your first time. I was
scared. Everyone who first did so was scared. Simply follow the
instructions word for word, they apply to every AMD socket since AM2 which
is about 8 years old. The cooler you’ve mentioned, is it closed-looped
water cooling where the pump sits on the CPU?

x7Luke7x says:

Damn, the same exact thing has been happening to me It took so long just to
get on. Really frustrating

XxSaintkillaxX says:

@GuideToUsing 🙂 Thanks for replying Take care 😀

qwanom says:

1. Why not spin the cooler? 2. If I’m not wrong now AMD CPUs have an
overheat protection, so if you forget to install a heatsink or cooler, it
will shoot down on POST. Is that true?

Defalt Playa says:

Do I have to remove the socket to install a CPU retention bracket just like
yours ?

Phillip Pirikahu says:

I’m sorry but I’m not aware of any stores that sell hardware that old. 🙁
You may be able to find something on E-Bay or Amazon for under $50 for at
least an Athlon X2.

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@shthouserat Sweet, glad I could help. 😀 And congrats on the first build.

Nudleloff says:

@GuideToUsing Do you know anything about windows experience index? , after
I got the 1055 it dropped to 1,9 from 4,5 when I had the dual core. I am
not sure whats the problem, I even overclocked it to 3,3ghz Yet it shows
poor rating.

FreedomRebel says:

warning ! do not touch the pins of the processor !!! specially when you are
not grounded !

Phillip Pirikahu says:

@Sazkuki The Experience Index is really nothing to go by, as long as it
performs better where it matters or the same in single-threaded loads it
should be all good. 🙂 If however it is noticeably slower or you find no
performance gains in highly threaded workloads (such as converting video
etc..) then you should look into a new motherboard. 🙁

danielcoppock says:

Random they don’t buy you can by a surface purifier and a paist anywhere
that sells computers but I recommend amazon they can be pricey

makbar59 says:

I had to muscle it on. One of the issues was I was using the cardboard
motherboard box as a non conductive base. So when I pressed down, the
cardboard box would sqeesh down making me feel like I was putting way too
much force. It was easier when I put it on a harder surface. Still a pain
in the ass.
