4. Configuració i instal·lació
Follow these steps carefully to install your Intel Core i5-4590 Processor:
- Prepareu la placa base:
- Ensure the motherboard is installed in the computer case or placed on a non-conductive surface.
- Locate the CPU socket (LGA 1150) on your motherboard.
- Open the CPU socket lever and lift the metal load plate.
- Instal·leu el processador:
- Carefully remove the processor from its protective packaging, holding it by the edges.
- Align the triangular arrow on the corner of the processor with the corresponding arrow on the CPU socket.
- Gently place the processor into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not seat easily, re-check alignment.
- Lower the metal load plate and secure it by pushing down the socket lever until it clicks into place.
- Instal·leu el refrigerador de la CPU:
- The Intel stock cooler comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If using an aftermarket cooler, apply thermal paste according to the cooler manufacturer's instructions.
- Align the cooler's four push-pins with the holes around the CPU socket on the motherboard.
- Press down on each push-pin diagonally until you hear a click, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Connect the CPU cooler's 4-pin power cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
- Connect Power and Peripherals:
- Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4-pin) CPU power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
- Connect other necessary components such as RAM, graphics card, storage drives, etc.
- Arrencada inicial:
- Connecteu el monitor, el teclat i el ratolí.
- Engegueu el sistema. El sistema hauria d'arrencar des de la BIOS/UEFI o el sistema operatiu.
- Verify that the CPU is recognized correctly in the BIOS/UEFI.
