This may be the first CPU I ever install, so this is very helpful.

I had to install this processor today and was pretty scared. Your video walked me beautifully through the process. Thank you!

This week I bought a 5600X and an MSI Tomahawk II Max... trying to fit the CPU scared the crap out of me - nothing made sense. Took me ages to realise I was ok and they had put some very odd blocks in the way. Got there eventually but it was certainly a journey. Those clamps really should be part of the kit, not pre fitted.

Upgraded my cpu after about two years, this video saved me as I was so lost as to why I couldnt screw it in, turns out I forgot about the backplate lol, if your upgrading your CPU make sure you have someone who can hold the back plate so you dont have to take your mobo out

[hydra]

Geez I forgot the backplate. I was wondering why I couldn't scre the fan In

[AdamantMindset]

man just screwing the fan seems like such a better way, those previous amd fans were annoying to set up with that hard to turn knob or whatever. always felt like if i applied pressure it will break lol

[x.slayin]

any help? my screws on the fan come with springs, which makes it not be able to go into the holes

[Mark]

Hey just watching videos of this to decide whether I can do it myself. Question: I'm not quite sure what is meant by "retain the backplate" at 2:59. Is that part of the existing motherboard or did it come with the processor?

[hasamikun]

Came here to see if there was some kind of foil the CPU because I heard many CPU have these and I wasnt sure if some was on the 5600x. Glad to see I did everything right

[jabalajabolindest]

Yes, can't wait for the benchmarks

Ya'll also get 60 degrees Celsius on idle? I also got 95 on full load. I used to get blue screens from time to time. I re-installed the cpu first removing the thermal paste it came with and applied with a good thermal paste. It gained 15 degrees of difference maxing at 80-81 degrees running the cinebench.
So the pre applied paste is shyte I guess. But 80 still seems a lot to me. No?

Damn I swear they keep making the triangle symbol smaller and smaller. I was bugging out trying to find it

The thermal paste on the fan isn’t enough to keep your cpu cool make sure to put a little very little worm in the middle of your cpu

[TripleRotarRacing]

When you said the thermal paste is pre applied to the cooler, do you mean you applied your own already, or it came from the factory with paste and it just needs to be installed?

Nice video. Gonna get my 5600X next week and boy it's been a hard wait. Currently I got i7-4770k which is still pretty good, but no match for the 5600X.

[krucifixproductions]

Trying to figure out for an hour why I couldn’t get the fan screwed in……….The backplate wasn’t in 🤦🏾‍♂️ 😂😂😂thanks a lot!

[shyboycm]

Totally missed that there was pre-applied thermal paste on there. I added some myself (an X over the CPU). Should I remove everything and wipe everything off, then add again or do you think Im good the way it is? I guess i could have a bit too much on there

[MrWinotu]

I have different fan on this cpu and put it on existing frame from motherboard and clamps (the ones that were removed). No problems with installation - some people complain to them?

[anonymousaccount]

I'm waiting for my motherboard to come in. I'm pairing it with a 5600 r5 processor.

[DModelsToys]

I ordered a 5600 but also temal paste because now i have a better cooler.

The AMD stock cooler makes a lot of noise.
