The Post-Check Protocol
-
Socket & Chipset Match
Action: Before opening the box, verify your CPU model is officially supported by both the Motherboard Socket (e.g., LGA 1700 or AM5) and the Chipset (e.g., Z790 or B650). Why: A physical fit doesn't guarantee compatibility; installing an unsupported CPU may require a BIOS update, or the system simply won't boot.
-
Alignment & Orientation
Action: Locate the triangle or arrow on the corner of the CPU and match it exactly to the mark on the motherboard socket. Why: The CPU only seats in the socket one way; incorrect orientation is the primary cause of bent pins (AMD) or damaged socket lands (Intel).
-
Zero Force Rule
Action: Gently lower the CPU straight down into the socket; it should fall perfectly flush with zero force. Why: If the CPU does not sit flat on its own, it is misaligned, and forcing the retention arm will permanently damage the delicate pins or contacts.
-
The Retention Arm
Action: Once the CPU is seated, fully lower and lock the metal retention arm/lever until it clicks and is secured under the side tab. Why: This arm applies the necessary pressure to hold the CPU securely against the socket pins, ensuring electrical contact and preventing movement.
-
Post-Cooler Power
Action: After the CPU cooler is installed, ensure the main 8-pin CPU power cable (and any extra 4-pin cables) are firmly plugged into the motherboard header(s) before attempting to boot. Why: Forgetting this connection is a common beginner error that causes a dead system with no power or immediate shutdown on load.
-
Handle by Edges
Action: Only ever handle the CPU by the edges of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board), and work on a grounded, anti-static surface. Why: Touching the gold contacts or pins transfers static electricity and skin oils, which can degrade electrical connections and cause system instability.
