How do I Install a CPU?

Go to solution Solved by Tech_Dreamer,

Just pop it & in & follow the rest of the instruction , you don't need to change anything in the bios if you're not planning to overclock .. Sometime the hyper threading is disabled by default in some motherboard, seen a few in gigabyte boards..so check that oneout in the bios after installation if possible..

"Oh god, a noob" I hear you cry. But alas, I have a question.

 

 

---------

 

When you install a CPU, do you have to edit anything in the BIOS/EUFI, or do you just pop it in there and away you go?

 

I don't want to have a PC guy to come and charge me £30/hour for something I can do myself in under that, if said is the case.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

It can depend on the CPU and board. If you're using, say a 4790K and a Z97 board, you just pop it in and you're good. For a 4790K and a Z87 board, the board will need a BIOS update before it will work. 

 

For the most part, you just put it in and you're fine.

Well, it'll be an FM2A55M-DGS Motherboard by ASRock and an AMD A10-6800K APU. Is the same applicable? (Pop n' go).

*turns 360 degrees and runs away*

So... basically you're running right into the guy?

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Was a bit too subtle
