ASUS A7V8X motherboard user guide 2-5 4.   Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it snaps shut. 5.   Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU.  The heatsink should entirely cover the CPU.  Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the socket base.  With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace, no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place 2.4.2 Installing the CPU Follow these steps to install a CPU: 1.   Locate the Socket 462 and open it by pulling the lever gently sideways away from  the  socket.    Then  lift  the  lever upwards.  The socket lever must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees). 2.   Insert  the  CPU  with  the  correct orientation.  The  notched  or  golden corner  of  the  CPU  must  be  oriented toward the inner corner of the socket base nearest to the lever hinge. The CPU should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the socket  to  avoid  bending  the  pins.  If  the  CPU  does  not  fit,  check  its alignment and look for bent pins. Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a clamp- style  processor  fan,  or  else  damage  may  occur.    When  mounting  a heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the heatsink, or damage may occur! Do  not  neglect  to  set  the  correct  Bus  Frequency  and  leave  the  CPU Multiple setting at default  to avoid start-up problems.
