the central area of the socket is completely filled with grease.
b. CPU and cooler installation:
Preamble: The MCW5002-64T requires the AMD recommended motherboard backing plates (made out of metal) for its installation. Some motherboard
manufacturers use plastic back plates and snap-rivets to attach the CPU holding frame to the back-plate, which cannot be used with the MCW5002-64T.
AMD recommended backing plates and retention frames are available online on our
Part # AJ00264 backing plate alone
Part # AJ00172 complete retention frame & backing plate

Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard gasket, and install
it as shown above. The sticky side should be towards the motherboard.
Insert the processor into the socket.
Since you have grease inside the socket, some hydraulic pressure lift may
occur: for this reason, make sure that the processor sits perfectly flat, and
is inserted all the way into the socket. Then, drop a small amount of high
quality thermal compound into the center of the processor core.
