hi everyone and welcome to Paul's hardware today's video is a quick installation tutorial for installing a thread Ripper processor the new CPUs from AMD the socket that they install into is called TR 4 or thread Ripper 4 I believe the forest to line up with the a m4 socket on their mainstream lineup and even if you've installed the CP before there are a few things you might want to know about this installation process not difficult but there are some quirks before you even get to the socket though let's start with a cpu in the box or at least the last part of the box this little tuck I'm going to need to pull on this metal piece to pop it off of the end and then simply grab the two tabs on each opposite side squeeze a little bit and you should be able to pop the top off inside you'll notice a orange protective plastic piece that's around your Rison processor and that is important and you want to keep that so remove that do note that this is an LG a processor land grid array so there are no pins on the bottom there are gold contact pads you should try not to cut make contact with those but for now we'll set the CPU aside now your retail box should have come with a Torx screwdriver in it but if it didn't then a Torx t20 bit is what you want and the three screws that you'll be paying attention to are these three right here note that they are labeled one is the top one in the middle by itself and then we have two on the bottom right and three on the bottom left also note they have left instructions for you open is three two one and closed is one two and three so in that order we're just going to start unscrewing these starting with three then we'll do two and then we'll do one now when you get screw one unscrewed you will actually notice that the lid will probably try to pop up by itself because it is somewhat spring-loaded with the upper bracket raised you'll see a lower bracket beneath and two little blue tabs towards the top of the socket just grab those from the side and lift and the lower bracket will pop out of place that has catches on either side that hold it there there's also a clear plastic piece at the center and this is actually in place of where your CPU should be we're going to remove this by sliding it out of the little bracket and the bracket is called the carrier frame and note as you're sliding it out that there's little rails on either side and they don't exten that's the entire length of the frame once you've ruins that you can just let the carrier frame pop up all the way and then you'll notice an actual protective socket covered down below it says sake sp3 go ahead and grip that from either side and pull it up it should pop out and it will expose the pins that are underneath pins are very delicate so be careful from this point on that you don't touch them with anything or drop anything into them now in case you're wondering there is still a little triangle on the corner of the carrier frame as well as on the corner of the socket itself but it's a little bit easier just to pay attention to the dummy frame that was removed and the orientation that was in as you put the CPU back in the same position so we're just going to lower the CPU into the frame very carefully making sure that those rails line up and go inside the little black rails instead of outside they can get misaligned once it slid all the way down into the frame we can just lower that carrier frame back onto the socket press down it should snap back into place and be held there now that's left to do is lower that top frame and remember that our screw order is reverse now one two three rather than three two one I'm just going to do about a single rotation on that top one just to get it threaded that way hopefully number two and number three down here will be slightly easier to get threaded as well and there we have it the CPUs installed and guys that's going to wrap it up for this tutorial if you have any friends who are going to be building a thread Ripper system please feel free to share this video with them it's a thumbs up and of course if you enjoyed it and feel free to subscribe to my channel if you'd like to see more tech videos just like this one thanks again for watching and we'll see you next time
