Installing the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X requires careful attention to detail. Ensure your motherboard supports the sTRX4 socket and is compatible with this processor.
3.1. ການກະກຽມ
Ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power outlet.
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions regarding CPU installation for the sTRX4 socket.
Have your compatible CPU cooler and thermal paste ready.
3.2. CPU Installation Steps
Unscrew the three Torx screws on the CPU retention frame of your motherboard's sTRX4 socket in the order indicated on the frame (usually 1-2-3).
Open the retention frame by lifting the lever.
Carefully remove the plastic CPU carrier from the Threadripper packaging.
Align the triangular arrow on the CPU carrier with the corresponding arrow on the motherboard socket.
Gently lower the CPU carrier into the socket. Do not force it.
Close the retention frame and secure it by tightening the three Torx screws using the supplied torque wrench. Tighten them in the reverse order of removal (3-2-1) until the wrench clicks, indicating proper torque.
