Today, many computer users are faced with a lack of resources for system performance. New programs and games are created that require optimal system requirements to run them on your computer. The most important detail that processes every mathematical action of the application is the processor. With it, we can run various software, play computer games and, in general, do what we want. But sometimes there are cases that new games or applications do not start on this processor, or freeze, or its performance is poor. Therefore, you need to replace the CPU.
How to change the processor in the computer if its speed is not satisfied? First you need to know which CPUs your motherboard supports, which socket is on it. A socket is a socket where your central processor is inserted (a stone is in the language of computer scientists). This information can be found in the book on the operation of the motherboard, on the website of the manufacturer of this motherboard or by running the Everest program.
How to change the processor. Step 1. When all the data on the motherboard are known, you need to buy a CPU with a higher clock speed and higher technical characteristics. Consult the seller about which processor should be installed on your motherboard.
How to change the processor. Step 2 You bought a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and now you need to replace it by putting it on the motherboard instead of the old one. First, disconnect the cooler along with the radiator from the motherboard. The socket connector has a special lever for fixing the CPU. Lift this lever up to free the processor from the socket. Now you can take it out.
How to change the processor. Step 3. Carefully place your new part in the socket so that it fits correctly in the tabs on the socket. How to replace the processor, you can find in the book on the operation of your motherboard. There, each step will be shown when installing the CPU. After installation, secure it by lowering the lever down.
How to change the processor. Step 4. So, the installation is complete. Now let's move on to applying thermal paste. Clean the old composition from the radiator mesh of the cooler. Degrease the surface with gasoline. Take a tube and apply a drop of ointment to the surface of the processor. Now this drop needs to be smeared on the surface so that the CPU surface is completely in thermal grease. To do this, take a piece of paper and gently spread it on the surface. The layer should look by eye no more than 1 millimeter. After the layer is applied to the surface, you can put in place the radiator grid with a cooler.
After this procedure, you can safely turn on your personal computer to check for performance. Turn on your PC and go to BIOS to check information about the CPU, as well as its temperature. Wait 5 minutes. BIOS gives full CPU load. Go to the CPU information section and look at its temperature.
Its temperature should not be higher than 50 degrees Celsius. Now you can boot your operating system and check the performance of your computer configuration. Launch a program or game that you previously did not run. If it works flawlessly and without brakes, then you have chosen the right CPU for yourself.
Sometimes after replacing the CPU you turn on the computer and hear squeaks, or nothing happens at all. So, you have selected an unsuitable or inoperative processor for your motherboard. Remove the CPU and take it back to the seller for a replacement.
Try to report to him all the information about your motherboard to select the necessary CPU.
But, before you relate, try reinstalling it, because maybe you did something wrong.
