Yup.

Just take it slow because it could be easy to bust a pin below the container.  Not only that, they can get stubborn and hard to slide.  But, if you take your time, it works fine.  No way to put the chip back in wrong because of the corners.

Was it a bad thing to put some Arctic Silver on top of the CPU, which would be under the lid?  My thought was to cool it down some.  The power supply "heat" decreased after I did that and it ran a little cooler.  Just a PC repair topic that works and for many CPUs, cuts the heat 10 - 20 degrees.  Yell at me if I did a faux pas.

I want my Polaris to run for another n years if I can.  It's a funky synth to play with.

 I guess there are two different sockets. The one I've
 got goes the other way. But it is a matter of sliding the
 cover.
