Upgrading the motherboard and the CPU on a computer can seem like a difficult task for most people. However, the truth is that almost anyone can install a new motherboard and CPU into their computer with just a little bit of preparation. All it takes is overcoming the fear that most people have when opening up a computer case. The best part is that by installing a newmotherboard and CPU yourself, you will save a lot of money and gain huge performance improvements.
Instructions Things You’ll Need:
Phillips screwdriver Motherboard CPU (must be compatible with motherboard) Heatsink and fan for CPU Empty case Preparing for Installation Step 1
Ensure that the motherboard and CPU are compatible, before beginning installation.
Step 2
Clear a workspace that offers plenty of space and light to work.
Step 3
Install the brass metal stand-offs into the empty case. These stand-offs will create space between the case and the motherboard. Be sure to determine first which stand-offs require installation, as there will likely be more slots in the case than in the motherboard.
Installing the CPU Step 1
Unlock the CPU socket. Usually, a plastic lever is all that needs to be lifted to unlock the socket.
Align the CPU so that it slides gently into the CPU socket. There should be no pushing required. Generally, there will be one corner that is used to guide the alignment. This corner will have no pins and will correspond to the corner in the socket that is also without pins.
