When installing the CPU how do you know when it’s in place and secure? Does it click or clip into place or something? Because I was practicing with an old motherboard because I’m doing my first PC build and I wasn’t sure about the CPU being in place.

Modern Chips are zero insertion force which means you check it's the correct way around by lining up the two notches on the CPU (im on about Intel by the way) and then simply set it into the socket, close the load plate and secure the lever latch in place.

POST is an acronym for power on self test, it performs every time a computer boots up
