I just bought an i7 2600k and a Asus mobo P8H61-M LE/CSM. Will it work the same as what you did here? I've installed a processor before but only once.. and I'm a little uneasy about it.
Just press the metal bar down, slide it outwards slightly, and then lift it up. Then you should be able to lift the pressure plate up and take the plastic insert out of the socket. Pick your CPU up by the edges, and make sure it's lined up (there are alignment marks) with the socket, and then drop it in carefully. Close the pressure plate, push the metal rod back down, and then slide it under its clips and mount your heatsink. Takes about 5 minutes:)
@Vore667 How so? I get a computer once every 5 years and shop for the components to build it myself to save literally thousands of dollars? Instead of telling mom to get me some alienware computer like most kids my age do? Or a Macbook Pro? Everything that i have i actually did work for in one way or another. I may not have bought it myself, but i did work to get it. If you want to troll, that's fine. I'm not much on fighting though, so i'm not going to.
@DragonTamer2345 Its your attitude, not that it would be bad to assemble your own pc. You start with boring in your video name and then complain something like what is with those people and then throwing box..
Yes you are really impressive.
Maybe it will stop bore you and you'll respect it more when you'll have to fork out your own money for wich you will work 9-5 few months.
I put boring in the title because the first comment said the video was boring. I didnt reslly put any music or anything into it, so I had to agree. I threw the box because it was empty, and there wasn't anywhere to put it.
I really enjoy building computers. It's one of my favorite things to do. I'm also pretty big on running sound for shows too. I like stuff like that, but a lot of people find it boring for some reason.
@Vore667 and you complain when the video turns out to be everything its advertised to be, so honestly, you're just being cunty, or were 11 months ago. something tells me that it still makes you lose sleep at night you crazy dutch bastard.

La placa esta muy bien, pero solo te escribo para recomendarte que has cometido un error poniendo la placa sobre la bolsa que contenía la placa. La electricidad estática es mala para los componentes electrónicos, y esa bolsa esta protegida contra la corriente estática, la que entra, la lleva al exterior de la bolsa, con lo cual la bolsa por el exterior tiene electricidad estática.
I would never use that shitty intel stock cooler and their cheap thermal compound, I have ur cpu and i overclock mine to 4.0ghz 1.8vcore with cool master v8 / Artic Sliver 5 / load is under 70c. with two shitty 460gtx sli sc for testing.
@kriusa123 For the 14 millionth time, read the previous comments, or look up intel heatsinks, or something. They have a thermal pad already applied at the factory, therefore meaning i don't have to do anything but put it on.
Sorry for being mean, but you're seriously like the 30th person to say that...
@zikri64 You don't want this one. C0 stepping is as hot and power hungry as they get. You can get the same chip today, and it'll run much much cooler, use less power, and clock higher. :)
this guy is dumb... he shouldn't even put the motherboard on the table if it had a charge or a shock keyboard woulda been fried... and no use and your not suppose to even touch your processor with your hands... only push it down with the thing that holds it in place
First: I put it on top of the static bag that it came in. That's pretty much the best way to set them down.
Second: What am i supposed to hold it with? Magic? Imagination? They're meant to be handled. You can touch it anywhere except the pads (and even there if you clean it with alcohol afterwards). Maybe on older bare dye chips what you said applied, but not anymore.
Meybe in here i will found a little help, can I put i7 into my mothermoard which is Foxconn 925XE7AA ?? because my one is Intel Pentium 4 3.2ghz and it is too slow like for me... please answer me back :)
Hey man nice build! I'm looking to upgrade from my e6750 c2d and 2gb of 667 mhz ddr2 and 8600gt. I'm going with the i7 since i know it will last a good 6 years (that being in 6 years all you could use it for is websurfing ;) ) Anyway, where did you buy your parts?
Do you still have that rubber grommet (did I spell that right?) that the cpu was shipped with? I threw mine away and need to find one as I'm selling my cpu...or is it ok to ship without the rubber pad?
@Dignifycommentary Well, my Pentium D system that i built 7 years ago (i think. It may have been 6) had a thermal pad on the CPU cooler, so honestly, i don't know. My brother's decade old Athlon system also had a thermal pad on the CPU cooler.
hey , you have almost the same specifications of my PC.. i have a problem with the firewire and usb, do you have the same problem?? The data tgransfer from the Internal disc to an external device it is just tooo slow, and just curious if you have the same problem...
@pablorea Nothing that can be done there. USB is just a slow interface... USB 3.0 is a ton faster, but you have to have an add in card for it on most motherboards. Not too much though, you can pick up an Asus one off of Newegg for 30 bucks. I've never used firewire, so i can't really say much there... i'd imagine that it's pretty slow too though.
@DragonTamer2345 ok... another question when you putted your computer together did you have any problem installing any driver that came with the DVD with the motherboard...?? I can not istall this driver and i do not understand why... RAID: Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Intel Desktop Boards.. Could you install it?? it is important?
@pablorea I didn't have any trouble installing any of them in Vista, but 7 was spotty... unless you're running a RAID though, you shouldn't need that driver. It's just to help with managing your RAID through windows so you don't have to do it through the pre-boot config utility.
@DragonTamer2345 firewire is supposed to be the fastest external connection available presently and is at par with gigabit or ethernet high speed lan it is most suited for camcorders and external hard disk drives =]
I don't use it for anything though, so i honestly have no clue. Might get a firewire drive or something though... need more space that i can drag around with me. Lol.
@NobleGangsta13 Thermal Interface Material. It's the stuff that fills in all the tiny gaps in between then CPU and heat sink and speeds up heat transfer
@NobleGangsta13 There's two sides. The bottom of the CPU (the part with the gold pads on it) and then the top with the IHS on it. Unless you have a heatpipe direct touch cooler, you want to put a dot of TIM the size of a grain of rice in the center of the IHS. If you have a HDT cooler, then you will want to put a line of TIM between each heatpipe.
yup, you are correct. yes my mobo is having 2x4 connector while by PSU is having 2 2x2 connectors. i am going to club these 2 and connect on the mobo .. lets see what happens :)
@halod2003 I know the feeling. Waiting for stuff to arrive is painful... took me another 3 weeks to get the rest of my system in to finish building it :(
hey man, i got myself one but having some difficulty in finding the power connections. I am using eXtreme Power Plus 600W as PSU. In the mobo i can see that there is a 2x8 CPU power connector, but my PSU doesn't have one like that. PSU is having 2 2x4 which is getting fitted into that. Do you think it will work ?
@halod2003 There should be either one 2x4 or two 2x2 connectors on the PSU for the CPU power, and the connector on the board should be 2x4 (two pins tall by 4 pins wide for 8 pins.)
since you are so into builds, you might want to consider grounding yourself to get rid of any static on your body before you man-handle your processor, or better yet; let me see your girlfriend, because nobody will ever hire you to do things for them if you leave this video up lol!!!
I do ground myself now. I have a static band that i use if i'm even so much as cleaning dust out of the system. And right now, i'm not really to interested in working for money... at least not on hard ware. Most of my money making is with fixing software problems/installing windows.
LOL! For the first two minutes or so I thought you were doing this on your bed (what a convenient surface hehe) and that your bed was in your kitchen LOL. Now I realize that's a table. That's better hehe ;-) I'm done doing my homework and I settled my choice on an i7 too. Going to order the computer parts tonight yippi! Can't wait to boot it up!
Hello dude, great vid, i was wondering if i can buy an CPU Intel Core i7-920 2.66 Ghz , and if i could install it by myself. I'm not very much pleased with my game performances on my current computer. Here are my specs :
Windows 7
Intel Core 2 duo 2.13ghz ( 6400)
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX,512 MB
800 gb hard disk
So i am wondering if i could buy a new processor and do everything by myself. Please Help me! Thank you!
@marinho94 It's not all that hard. Just be sure that you don't force something in, and that you're careful (as in... dont' drop it on the floor.) it'll only go in one way, so you can't really hurt it. You'd have to have a new mobo for it though. You could probably find a good Q6600 or something for not too much if you're a little tight on money. It's still a solid chip as far as i know. :)
So what do you think, if i try buying CPU Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3.0 Ghz/ 12Мb/ 1333 MGz LGA775 . Will it be ok for my computer? Or will i have some problems?
Honestly, right now, i'd look into maybe OCing your current CPU some and getting one of the newer video cards... you have a pretty balanced system, it's just not really that new :/
Ah, then you'll probably want to get some sort of quad at least then, and then try to get a better GPU. HD4850 handles that game very well, but i'm not sure they're easy to get... maybe some sort of lower end 5XXX series card would do you. If that's all you do though, an i7 would be over kill as the game can only use 4 cores.
If you have a good mobo right now, you should be able to drop a quad into it. Does it have an 8 pin CPU power connector? If not, then you'd have to buy a new board, and at that point, you might as well just get an i7 and build a completely new system.
Would be nice if you communicated a little bit more but uh... nice stuff. I wanna upgrade my PC too so bad but I got other things that my money are going on atm. But I'm far more than happy on my Dell XPS 630i that I've fixed up from stock.
@Mattsana Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that i do a TON of video encoding, then i'd be more than happy with a Dual core, or a quad. But i figured the i7 was decently cheap, and future proof, and i was building a new system anyway, so might as well do it right.
There is no i7 dual core... the i3 is dual core, and it's faster clock per clock than the Pentium line, but the i7 is an SMT quad meaning each core can run two threads at once effectively making it an octocore.
Yeah, it was kind of a boring video, but these guys don't have to be such douchebags nitpicking every little thing. "You need a new girlfriend" "you need better tattoos".
Heres one, you all need something better to do than be d-bags towards this guy.
One thing DragonTamer, I'd be a little more careful when handling parts like that. Static can kill parts, if not cause them to degrade faster, even from a discharge you can't even feel.
Yeah, this was the last work that i did on a computer without a static band. Got a nice little shock when i touched the CPU cooler, and figured it'd be a good idea to walk down the road and get a anti-static wristband from the computer repairman lol
Yes. Unless you use the stock cooling (POS, don't use it) you have to apply your own thermal paste. A few come with some preapplied, but they're few and far between.
every processor needs it....even GPU coolers need it, CPUs ESPECIALLY need the paste, (its good if you change frequently) ill be posting a video up installing my new aircooler....maybe in a week if all goes well
Yeah, you have to have it, the stock heatsink just comes with a thermal pad already on it that i used. If you don't have some sort of TIM (Thermal Interface Material) on the chip, than it will gladly go up in smoke.
nice job! have you tried to overclocking it yet? I heard the Smack Board can push up to 3.8 with just air... if you happen to overclock it in the future plz let us know! I am dying to see the capability of DX58SO. Good video =D
It went up to 3.4 just fine on the stock cooler. Took about 5 minutes to get there. I had it at 3.8 on stock, but it got a little too hot for my comfort, so i backed it back down to 3.4, and haven't bothered to push it any further... no real need to lol
dude i want to use raid 0 but intel website is like a rat maze and i can't locate the driver which is needed for the setup , so can you please tell me if you happen to know what is the driver's name so i can setup windows7 64 for raid 0 ? THANKS
I didn't have to install any drivers. I just set it to RAID in the BIOS, hit Ctrl-L (i think?) when it prompted me to, set up the RAID 0, then rebooted and installed Windows 7.
I would say that 3.2 or 3.4 is the furthest you can go safely, unless you have a really good chip that can hit hight clocks with low heat, but generally i felt uncomfortable with the temps after 3.4 (75-85ish full load)
But yeah, if you got a better cooler, 4.0 4.1 is not uncommon at all with these things.
When you installed the cpu, did you notice a slight upward bend in the rention bar after you locked it? I didn't really feel a "snap" and there was some force I had to use to get it locked. Similar for you??
Yeah, i did, and it's kinda unnerving, but i haven't had any trouble with it, so i guess that's just how it's supposed to lock.... it really does feel weird though.
omg ,dude ,i thought i was going to break the cpu or bend the pins, ,you need so much force to lock it in the place, , god, thnx man for ur comment... phew, ,i dont hav the fan cuz ibought oem cpu so i cant test it
I really was, wasn't another week or so till my RAM got in... even though we ordered it all the day before Christmas... guess that's what you get for ordering the day before Christmas haha

halod2003 1 year ago
@halod2003 There should be some clips on the two 2x2 connectors to slip them together to make one large connector. :)
DragonTamer2345 1 year ago
@DragonTamer2345
yup, thats correct. I sliped these 2 connectors and vola .. it went inside. now i am behind a good GPU. without that i can't start my new computer :(
halod2003 1 year ago
@halod2003 I know the feeling. Waiting for stuff to arrive is painful... took me another 3 weeks to get the rest of my system in to finish building it :(
DragonTamer2345 1 year ago
@DragonTamer2345 That's nothing, I've been getting parts for mine for about a month and a half.
But it will be totally worth it when I'm done.

hey man, i got myself one but having some difficulty in finding the power connections. I am using eXtreme Power Plus 600W as PSU. In the mobo i can see that there is a 2x8 CPU power connector, but my PSU doesn't have one like that. PSU is having 2 2x4 which is getting fitted into that. Do you think it will work ?
halod2003 1 year ago
@halod2003 There should be either one 2x4 or two 2x2 connectors on the PSU for the CPU power, and the connector on the board should be 2x4 (two pins tall by 4 pins wide for 8 pins.)

since you are so into builds, you might want to consider grounding yourself to get rid of any static on your body before you man-handle your processor, or better yet; let me see your girlfriend, because nobody will ever hire you to do things for them if you leave this video up lol!!!
iknowitstrue1 2 years ago
I do ground myself now. I have a static band that i use if i'm even so much as cleaning dust out of the system. And right now, i'm not really to interested in working for money... at least not on hard ware. Most of my money making is with fixing software problems/installing windows.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
LOL! For the first two minutes or so I thought you were doing this on your bed (what a convenient surface hehe) and that your bed was in your kitchen LOL. Now I realize that's a table. That's better hehe ;-) I'm done doing my homework and I settled my choice on an i7 too. Going to order the computer parts tonight yippi! Can't wait to boot it up!

Hello dude, great vid, i was wondering if i can buy an CPU Intel Core i7-920 2.66 Ghz , and if i could install it by myself. I'm not very much pleased with my game performances on my current computer. Here are my specs :
Windows 7
Intel Core 2 duo 2.13ghz ( 6400)
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX,512 MB
800 gb hard disk
So i am wondering if i could buy a new processor and do everything by myself. Please Help me! Thank you!
marinho94 2 years ago
@marinho94 It's not all that hard. Just be sure that you don't force something in, and that you're careful (as in... dont' drop it on the floor.) it'll only go in one way, so you can't really hurt it. You'd have to have a new mobo for it though. You could probably find a good Q6600 or something for not too much if you're a little tight on money. It's still a solid chip as far as i know. :)
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
So what do you think, if i try buying CPU Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3.0 Ghz/ 12Мb/ 1333 MGz LGA775 . Will it be ok for my computer? Or will i have some problems?
marinho94 2 years ago
Honestly, right now, i'd look into maybe OCing your current CPU some and getting one of the newer video cards... you have a pretty balanced system, it's just not really that new :/
What kind of games are you looking to play on it?
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
I see, flight simulator x
marinho94 2 years ago
Ah, then you'll probably want to get some sort of quad at least then, and then try to get a better GPU. HD4850 handles that game very well, but i'm not sure they're easy to get... maybe some sort of lower end 5XXX series card would do you. If that's all you do though, an i7 would be over kill as the game can only use 4 cores.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
oki doki , how bout the motherboard?
marinho94 2 years ago
If you have a good mobo right now, you should be able to drop a quad into it. Does it have an 8 pin CPU power connector? If not, then you'd have to buy a new board, and at that point, you might as well just get an i7 and build a completely new system.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
Would be nice if you communicated a little bit more but uh... nice stuff. I wanna upgrade my PC too so bad but I got other things that my money are going on atm. But I'm far more than happy on my Dell XPS 630i that I've fixed up from stock.
Mattsana 2 years ago
@Mattsana Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that i do a TON of video encoding, then i'd be more than happy with a Dual core, or a quad. But i figured the i7 was decently cheap, and future proof, and i was building a new system anyway, so might as well do it right.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
Yeah that's true actually. I'll be getting i7 on my iMac I think.
Mattsana 2 years ago
is this stronger then Pentium (r) dual core
and....how to say it....
example:Pentium (R) Dual Core 3.0 GHz
or Intel Core i7 3.0 GHz [dual core] is stronger
nikolassj 2 years ago
There is no i7 dual core... the i3 is dual core, and it's faster clock per clock than the Pentium line, but the i7 is an SMT quad meaning each core can run two threads at once effectively making it an octocore.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
ok thanks
nikolassj 2 years ago
the i3 is dual core with HT
fatboyuk3 2 years ago
I thought the i5 was the dual with HT?
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
the i5 is aswell but the i3 run slower
fatboyuk3 2 years ago
because the i3 is desinged for the Notebooks because the cant have a i5 or i7 Core in it.
Most Notebooks prosecors have 1.6 to 2.2 Ghz prosecor but the i3 Core delivers 2.93 Ghz so that comparing to 2 normal laptops together

Heres one, you all need something better to do than be d-bags towards this guy.
One thing DragonTamer, I'd be a little more careful when handling parts like that. Static can kill parts, if not cause them to degrade faster, even from a discharge you can't even feel.
SmilingBounder 2 years ago
Yeah, this was the last work that i did on a computer without a static band. Got a nice little shock when i touched the CPU cooler, and figured it'd be a good idea to walk down the road and get a anti-static wristband from the computer repairman lol

Hi, nice video specially the drop, a noob question... Do you have to use thermal paste on i7?
zonikel 2 years ago
Yes. Unless you use the stock cooling (POS, don't use it) you have to apply your own thermal paste. A few come with some preapplied, but they're few and far between.

Habbibz91 2 years ago
Yeah, you have to have it, the stock heatsink just comes with a thermal pad already on it that i used. If you don't have some sort of TIM (Thermal Interface Material) on the chip, than it will gladly go up in smoke.
DragonTamer2345 2 years ago
Don't be silly. Of course they do. Every CPU needs thermal paste.

spacesauze 2 years ago
It went up to 3.4 just fine on the stock cooler. Took about 5 minutes to get there. I had it at 3.8 on stock, but it got a little too hot for my comfort, so i backed it back down to 3.4, and haven't bothered to push it any further... no real need to lol

I didn't have to install any drivers. I just set it to RAID in the BIOS, hit Ctrl-L (i think?) when it prompted me to, set up the RAID 0, then rebooted and installed Windows 7.

which cpu coolers is recomended for overclocking the core i7 even further, how far would i be able to oc with a better cooler?
Thx
kjeoy 2 years ago
I would say that 3.2 or 3.4 is the furthest you can go safely, unless you have a really good chip that can hit hight clocks with low heat, but generally i felt uncomfortable with the temps after 3.4 (75-85ish full load)
But yeah, if you got a better cooler, 4.0 4.1 is not uncommon at all with these things.

When you installed the cpu, did you notice a slight upward bend in the rention bar after you locked it? I didn't really feel a "snap" and there was some force I had to use to get it locked. Similar for you??

Yeah, i did, and it's kinda unnerving, but i haven't had any trouble with it, so i guess that's just how it's supposed to lock.... it really does feel weird though.
