| 294731 | 2004-11-22 00:57:00 | Read the insrtuctions,they detail the markings that have to be alligned. | metla (154) | ||
| 294732 | 2004-11-22 01:19:00 | The information you need is available here: www.amd.com | Spout (6433) | ||
| 294733 | 2004-11-22 01:28:00 | Sorry, my link didn't work. Go to www.amd.com, under Processors (top left) click "support and downloads". Then select "system building guide" . | Spout (6433) | ||

| 294735 | 2004-11-22 01:56:00 | The socket on the mobo will have 2 tiny barely viewable triangles on 2 of the corners that line up with the 2 gold triangles on the cpu. If memory serves me right....Its been a couple of days since i installed one.... |

| 294736 | 2004-11-22 02:00:00 | If it helps, this is your Motherboard www.dfi.com.tw and here www.overclockers.co.nz perhaps Overclockers.co.nz can advise you. |

| 294737 | 2004-11-22 02:24:00 | Look at the motherboard with the external connectors facing away from you and the CPU lever on the right hand side of the CPU. the gold mark on the CPU must be in the lower laft hand corner. | Spout (6433) | ||
