Visual step by step directions to install CPU on a MB.

[gittyup]

Anyone know any good sites out there that have detailed steps with pictures on putting the CPU, MB and anything that goes between together?

How to determine what cooler to use?
What paste?

Thanks...

Don't build your own computer

nah, isn't it detailed described in the MB Manual? Just put the CPU on the mobo(there's only one-way that will fit), apply a thin layer of thermal paste, and put the heatsink on there. And be sure to put the heatsink the right way on the CPU.

When you put it together most stuff can only go in one way. If you get confused read the manual. To determine the cooler read some reviews to fine what you need/are looking for. A lot of people like artic silver for paste....you can get radio shack paste which works fine in most cases.
