4. Танзим ва насб

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your processor. Please follow these steps carefully.

4.1. Рӯйхати санҷиши пеш аз насб

• Мутобиқати motherboard: Verify that your motherboard supports the AMD Phenom II X4 840 processor and has an AM3 socket. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list.
• Навсозии BIOS: Ensure your motherboard's BIOS is updated to the latest version that supports this processor.
• Воситаҳо: Gather a Phillips head screwdriver, thermal paste (if not pre-applied on the cooler or if using a different cooler), and a clean, lint-free cloth.
• Муҳофизати статикӣ: Дар муҳити бе статикӣ кор кунед. Тасмаи зиддистатикии дастро истифода баред ё зуд-зуд ба ашёи металлии ба замин пайвастшуда ламс кунед.

4.2. Қадамҳои насб

1. Модараро омода кунед: With the computer powered off and unplugged, open your computer case. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Open the Socket Lever: Gently push down and away on the small metal lever located on the side of the CPU socket to open it.
3. Протсессорро мувофиқ кунед: Carefully remove the processor from its packaging. Locate the golden triangle or arrow on one corner of the processor and align it with the corresponding triangle or arrow on the CPU socket.
4. Insert the Processor: With the processor perfectly aligned, gently lower it straight down into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not seat easily, re-check the alignment.
5. Протсессорро муҳофизат кунед: Once the processor is fully seated, push the socket lever back down and under the small tab to lock the processor in place.
6. Хамираи гармиро татбиқ кунед: If your heatsink does not have pre-applied thermal paste, apply a small pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
7. Install the Heatsink and Fan: Carefully place the heatsink onto the processor, ensuring it makes even contact. Secure the heatsink clips or screws according to the cooler's instructions.
8. Connect Fan Power: Connect the CPU fan's power cable to the 'CPU_FAN' header on your motherboard.

5. Истифода бурдани протсессор
