3. Configuració i instal·lació
Installing a desktop processor requires careful handling and adherence to proper procedures. It is recommended to consult your motherboard's manual for specific installation instructions, as procedures may vary slightly.
3.1. Comprovació de compatibilitat
Ensure your motherboard is compatible with the Intel Core i3-13100 processor. This processor is compatible with Intel 600 series and 700 series chipset-based motherboards, utilizing the LGA 1700 socket. Verify your motherboard's socket type and BIOS version support for 13th Gen Intel processors.
3.2. Preparació
- Electricitat estàtica: Always ground yourself before handling components to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal object.
- Àrea de treball: Work on a clean, well-lit, and stable surface.
- Eines: Potser necessiteu un tornavís Phillips.
3.3. Passos d'instal·lació del processador
- Obriu el sòcol de la CPU: Locate the CPU socket on your motherboard. Gently push down the load lever and pull it away from the socket to open the retention frame.
- Alinea el processador: Carefully remove the processor from its packaging. Hold the processor by its edges, avoiding touching the gold contacts or the top surface. Align the triangular marker on the processor with the corresponding marker on the socket. Ensure the notches on the processor align with the keys on the socket.
- Place Processor: Gently lower the processor straight down into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not seat easily, re-check alignment.
- Close Socket: Close the retention frame over the processor. Push the load lever back into place until it clicks. This will secure the processor.
- Instal·lar el refrigerador: Apply thermal paste if not pre-applied to the cooler. Place the Intel Laminar RH1 Cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting pins with the holes on the motherboard. Press down firmly on each pin until it clicks into place. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
