If you bought retail it should have directions.

If you didn't buy retail CPU, then the mobo manual will have instructions in it. Really simple process, especially with the stock HSFs from AMD. When you start upgrading to huge HSFs like the Thermaltake XP-120 or the Zalman 7700, then you start getting into a little more difficult mounting procedure.

What HSF are you using?

Download the mobo manual from the board you want to buy and see if it has directions for installing the HSF. That or check the website of the HSF maker you are going to use (if not going with the stock AMD HSF).
