How to Install an LGA115x Processor Into
the Socket
These instructions are applicable to boxed LGA1150/LGA1155/LGA1156-based processors and
fan heat sinks because of the similarity of the installation process. Note that these processors are
not compatible between the different sockets because of electrical, mechanical, and keying
differences.
Visit
Intel® Processor Installation Center
for more information on integrating desktop
processors.
These instructions assume that the boxed processor and fan heat sink are new and the factory
applied thermal interface material is applied to the bottom of the fan heat sink.
At the bottom of this page there are links to installation documents for each socket. These
documents include information on how to reset the fan heat sink push-pins, how to reapply
thermal interface material, and a link to the installation video.
