The installation diagrams in this section are for reference only. The motherboard layout
may vary with models, but the installation steps are the same for all models.
2.1 CPU installation
• Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for Socket sTR5 WRX90 only.
• The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU.
• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and
the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap
is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
Install a heatsink or AIO cooler after installing the CPU. Please refer to the Motherboard
Installation Guide on the ASUS support site, or to the user manual of the heatsink/AIO
cooler for steps on installing the heatsink/AIO cooler.
