You remove heat sink of the old one, then pull up the lever and remove the CPU, insert the new one, pull the lever back and put the new heat sink (this one is fixed with clamps). ------------------------- World's best Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod and Star Trek: Starfleet Command 3 mod: Overmind.ro
