These instructions are applicable to boxed LGA1150/LGA1151/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1200 based processors and fan heat sinks because of the similarity of the installation process. Note that these processors are not compatible between the different sockets because of electrical, mechanical, and keying differences.
Visit Intel® Processor Installation Center for more information on integrating desktop processors.
These instructions assume that the boxed processor and fan heat sink are new and the factory applied thermal interface material is applied to the bottom of the fan heat sink.
At the bottom of this page there are links to installation documents for some of the sockets. These documents include information on how to reset the fan heat sink push-pins, how to reapply thermal interface material, and a link to the installation video
