MSI's CPU Installation Tool

MSI's CPU installation tool is nothing more than a plastic frame for the processor.

Everybody is complaining about the new socket being fragile, and MSI decided to do something about it. G52-M7001X3 is the code name for a CPU insertion tool that will be included with all MSI LGA 775 motherboards. It's an interesting add-on, but careful users will find it unnecessary.

The red triangle lets you align the processor to the socket.
