3. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your processor. Please follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to consult your motherboard's manual for specific instructions regarding CPU installation and BIOS updates.
3.1 Llista de comprovació prèvia a la instal·lació
- Ensure your motherboard is compatible with LGA1151 socket and 300 Series chipset.
- Verify your motherboard's BIOS is updated to support 9th Gen Intel Core processors. A BIOS update may be required.
- Gather necessary tools: Phillips head screwdriver, thermal paste (if not pre-applied on cooler), anti-static wrist strap.
- Treballar en un entorn net i lliure d'electricitat estàtica.
3.2 Passos d'instal·lació del processador
- Prepara la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention lever on your motherboard. Lift the load plate.
- Handle Processor: Carefully remove the processor from its packaging. Hold it by the edges, avoiding contact with the gold contacts or the top surface.
- Alinea el processador: Align the two notches on the sides of the processor with the corresponding keys on the CPU socket. Ensure the gold triangle on the processor aligns with the triangle on the socket.
- Inserir processador: Gently lower the processor straight down into the socket. Do not force it. It should sit flat without resistance.
- Processador segur: Close the load plate over the processor, then push down the retention lever until it clicks into place.
- Aplicar pasta tèrmica (si cal): If your cooler does not have pre-applied thermal paste, apply a small pea-sized amount to the center of the processor's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Instal·leu el refrigerador de CPU: Mount the included thermal solution (CPU cooler) according to its specific instructions, ensuring even pressure and proper contact with the processor. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.

4. Directrius de funcionament
Once installed, the Intel Core i7-9700 processor operates automatically within your system. Here are some general guidelines for optimal performance:
- Controladors del sistema: Ensure all system drivers, especially chipset drivers, are up-to-date. Visit your motherboard manufacturer's weblloc per a les últimes versions.
- Configuració de la BIOS: For most users, default BIOS settings are sufficient. Advanced users may adjust settings like Intel Turbo Boost Technology or Intel Optane Memory configurations as needed. Refer to your motherboard manual for details.
- Refrigeració: Maintain adequate airflow within your PC case to ensure efficient cooling of the processor and other components.
- Optimització de programari: Keep your operating system and applications updated to benefit from performance optimizations and security patches.
5. Manteniment
Processors generally require minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure long-term stability and performance:
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean dust from your CPU cooler and case fans using compressed air. Excessive dust can impede airflow and lead to higher temperatures.
- Pasta tèrmica: While not frequently required, if you notice consistently high CPU temperatures, the thermal paste might need reapplication. This involves carefully removing the CPU cooler, cleaning off old thermal paste, and applying new paste.
- Actualitzacions de la BIOS: Comproveu el fabricant de la placa base website for new BIOS versions. Updates can improve compatibility, stability, and sometimes performance.
