How to install AMD AM2, AM2+, AM3 and AM3+ CPU + Cooler! Heatsink

How to install an AMD CPU, along with Cooler, piece of cake! Also applies to AMD Bulldozer/FX, AMD FM1 sockets etc..
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to install an AMD CPU and cooler on a mainboard.
Always make sure there is thermal grease on either the CPU or the cooler. If not, apply it!
Don't use too much, just a "pea sized" portion on the middle of the CPU; it will spread when you place the cooler. You can also spread it yourself with something like an old creditcard. There are videos to show you how; in doubt, first watch a video about applying thermal grease/paste.
