First-time installing CPU on Mobos

[Crellion101]

I am going to install my new Conroe E6600 CPU onto my P965 mobos. I was wondering if there is any website with any videos or flash animations that can accurately show me how to do this? Thanks....

MechBgon's guide. http://www.mechbgon.com/

Helped me a lot on my first guide.

You should find that it is fairly easy. Just do it carefully so you do not bend a pin. The heatsink fan is the harder part for beginners.

Just an extra note. It is much easier to install the Heat Sink Fan on the Processor OUTSIDE the case. Before you install the motherboard. If I remember correctly mechbgon tutorial (Which is FANTASTIC, btw) has you installing it after you put the mobo into the case.

I install it after I have it in the case and before I put in any other components (PSU, memory, video, sound, HDD etc)
