• Pasta térmica: While not frequently required, if you notice consistently high CPU temperatures or if you remove the CPU cooler, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste.
• Flujo de aire del sistema: Ensure good airflow within your computer case. Proper cable management and strategically placed case fans can help dissipate heat effectively.
• Actualizaciones de BIOS/UEFI: Mantén actualizado el firmware BIOS/UEFI de tu placa base. Estas actualizaciones suelen incluir mejoras de rendimiento, corrección de errores y mayor compatibilidad con la CPU.
• Actualizaciones de controladores: Ensure your chipset and integrated graphics drivers are updated to the latest versions from Intel's official websitio o del fabricante de su placa base websitio.

6. Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your system that you suspect are related to the processor, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

6.1 Problemas comunes y soluciones

• El sistema no arranca/no aparece nada en la pantalla:
  • Verify that the CPU is correctly seated in its socket and the retention lever is locked.
  • Ensure the CPU cooler is properly installed and its fan is connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Check that the 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power connector from the power supply is securely plugged into the motherboard.
  • Confirm that your RAM modules are correctly installed.
• Sobrecalentamiento / Apagados del sistema:
  • Compruebe si el ventilador del enfriador de la CPU está girando.
  • Ensure there is adequate thermal paste application between the CPU and the cooler.
  • Clean any dust from the CPU cooler and case fans.
  • Verify proper airflow within the computer case.
  • Supervise las temperaturas de la CPU mediante el software de monitoreo del sistema.
• Poor Performance / System Lag:
  • Asegúrese de que su sistema operativo y sus controladores estén actualizados.
  • Check for background processes consuming high CPU resources.
  • Verify that the CPU cooler is making good contact and temperatures are within normal operating range.
  • Run a diagnostic tool to check for hardware issues.
• Inestabilidad del sistema/pantallas azules (BSOD):
  • Ensure all drivers, especially chipset and graphics drivers, are stable and up to date.
  • Check for any recent software installations that might be causing conflicts.
  • Verify that your power supply unit (PSU) is providing stable power to all components.

If issues persist after these steps, consult your motherboard's manual or seek professional technical assistance.
