3 How to Install Accessories In Your PC

Installing an Upgrade Processor

Installing an Upgrade Processor

As more powerful upgrade processors become available, you can
replace your main processor with a more powerful one. If you use an
Intel Overdrive processor, it is supplied with its own Voltage Regulator
Module (VRM), which must be installed with the processor. The VRM
ensures that the processor is provided with the correct voltage.

1 Disconnect the computer power cords from the power outlets.

2 Remove the computer’s cover and lift the power supply from it’s

seating as described in “Moving and Replacing the Power Supply” on
page 24.

3 If the heatsink is not attached to the processor, unclip and remove

the heatsink.

4 Raise the lever on the socket to unlock the processor and lift out the

processor.
