I thought you spread it on like mayonnaise like they do at PC world. So it shouldn't oooze out of the sides like and overloaded squashed subway sandwich? You learn something new every day. In 20 years of fixing, building, in professional life and helping others on such in personal life I have more fingers and toes than I can recall instances where inches of sludge had not been applied, even on expensive servers bought ready from the producer, you'd be amazed.

Couple tips I would add. (1.) If changing out an old CPU, run a couple of heavy stress tests/workloads like Cinebench, etc before pulling the cooler off. Warming up the CPU can make a big difference because sometimes that old paste sticks and makes removing the cooler difficult and dangerous. (2.) Twist when pulling the cooler off, don't' pull straight up (3.) When installing a new cooler or AIO, make sure to check if the block has any pre-applied paste first. You don't want to add paste if the cooler already has some pre-applied, which many do.

I would suggest mounting the cooler with the AMD logo/bulge facing away from the ram slots and towards the rear fan. Many smaller motherboards won't even have room for 2 sticks of ram with the fan bulge, but if your mo/bo has 4 ram slots, and you want to update to 4 sticks of ram in the future, they probably won't fit with the way Mike has the fan orientated

Thanks for this. This is my first time installing an AMD processor chip. I've been used to installing intel chips.

Thanks for the video it will prove to be useful. I've recently been given an AMD Ryzen CPU and motherboard but one of the tangs was broken on one of the CPU brackets (the plastic bits you removed). Luckily they sell them separately and I've got a genuine set of brackets for £4. I can't wait for them to arrive along with some Arctic thermal paste like you used (I remembered to go for that one from building old Pentium and Core 2 Duo systems years ago). Not that great on building PCs but I normally get by. The irony is if it all works okay I plan on replacing the CPU cooler with another which doesn't even need the brackets but I don't want to spend £50 on a cooler when I'm not 100% sure the motherboard and CPU are actually working (they were taken out of a PC which had some problems and I am hoping it was caused by the CPU cooler literally hanging off on one side due to the broken bracket). Wish me luck and hopefully I'll have a nice upgrade and I can ditch my old i5 3570 which is getting kind of old now. I hope it works okay with my GPU even though it's kinda old too (GTX 970).

But I am switching to AMD CPU's for my PC builds as AMD offers better value (cost to performance) as compared to Intel. I like this video because it does a close up or macro of the insertion of the AMD CPU so I can simulate the CPU installation myself at home based on how your CPU insertion looks rested in the socket. I do like AMD's stock cooler heat sink installation better than Intel's stock heat sink cooler.

Any cooler that requires "finding the screw holes" is a lot easier to fit outside the case than in it.

This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw

So my friend I put the CPU into the socket correctly by looking at the triangle and it fell down easily into the pins. Then I realised I hadn't lift the retention arm first. So I lift it with the processor already in and then I closed it again. There was no pressure and I think that there is no problem with the pins and the CPU. I read that the retention arm on amd just locks the cpu so what do you think. Is there any problem?
