2. Asegurar o refrixerador: Attach the cooler's clips to the motherboard retention brackets. Apply even pressure and secure both clips. Some coolers may require screwing down.
3. Connect Fan Power: Connect the cooler's 4-pin fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for the exact location.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

Once the CPU and cooler are installed, reassemble your computer and connect all peripherals. Upon first boot, access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the CPU is recognized correctly and that fan speeds are set appropriately. Install the latest chipset drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's websitio para un rendemento óptimo.

6.1 Configuración da BIOS/UEFI

• Verify CPU temperature readings are within acceptable limits.
• Ensure RAM frequency and timings are correctly configured.
• For advanced users, the unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking. Proceed with caution and adequate cooling.

7. Mantemento

Regular maintenance helps ensure stable performance and extends the lifespan of your CPU and cooling system.

• Eliminación de po: Periodically clean the CPU cooler's fan and heatsink fins to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air for this task.
• Pasta térmica: Over time, thermal paste can dry out. If you notice consistently high temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This requires removing the cooler, cleaning old paste from both the CPU and cooler base, and applying a new thin, even layer.
• Fluxo de aire do sistema: Asegúrate de ter unha boa circulación de aire dentro da carcasa do teu ordenador xestionando os cables e mantendo limpas as saídas de aire de entrada/escape.

8 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues after installation, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• O sistema non arranca:
  • Check all power connections, especially the 4/8-pin CPU power connector on the motherboard.
  • Ensure the CPU is correctly seated in its socket and the lever is locked.
  • Verify the CPU cooler is properly installed and its fan is spinning.
  • Reset CMOS (refer to your motherboard manual).
• Overheating/High Temperatures:
  • Confirm the CPU cooler is securely mounted and making good contact with the CPU.
  • Check if the CPU fan is connected to the correct header (CPU_FAN) and is spinning.
  • Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly (or is still effective if pre-applied).
  • Clean dust from the heatsink fins.
• Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema:
  • Ensure your motherboard BIOS/UEFI is updated to the latest version.
  • Check RAM stability and compatibility.
