The next thing you should do is unplug the power cable from the mains and system as you may seriously hurt yourself or damage the equipment. Also you should use an anti-static wrist band to protect the system from damage. Attach the wire to the metal part of your system and then place the band around your wrist which will ensure that you are connected to the system at all times. This will cancel out all static charge from you and the system, protecting the components.
Next, locate the heat sink on the motherboard. You will find a small lever on the side of the fan, pull this to release the fan. Underneath you shall find a space that will fit a processor chip. To put the chip in, you must make sure you line the chip in carefully with the gold triangle which shows the direction that the chip fits in. If the chip does not fit, do not force it in as this will damage the pins of the processor chip and make it unusable. When the chip is in safely, lock it into place with the lever at the side until it clicks, locked into place.
Now you must apply the thermal compound to the chip. This is a paste that secures the heat sink to the processor and only a thin layer is needed. You must now put the fan back on, over the processor. This should have a nice fit over the processor and can be locked back into place with the clamp on the side of the fan. You must now connect the fan to the motherboard and power supply so that it functions when the system is running to cool down the processor.
