2. Configuración e instalación
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your AMD FX 6100 processor. Ensure your motherboard supports the AM3+ socket type and has the latest BIOS version installed before proceeding.
2.1. Lista de verificación previa a la instalación
- Placa base compatible: Ensure your motherboard has an AM3+ socket.
- Pasta térmica: High-quality thermal paste is required for heat transfer between the CPU and cooler.
- Enfriador de CPU: A compatible CPU cooler (e.g., stock cooler or aftermarket solution) is essential.
- Precauciones antiestáticas: Use una pulsera antiestática o toque con frecuencia un objeto metálico conectado a tierra para evitar descargas electrostáticas (ESD).
- Herramientas: Destornillador Phillips.
2.2. Pasos de instalación
- Preparar la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention arm on your AM3+ motherboard.
- Procesador de alineación: Carefully align the triangular arrow on the corner of the processor with the corresponding arrow on the CPU socket. Ensure all pins are aligned with the holes. No fuerce el procesador en el zócalo.
- Procesador de asientos: Gently lower the processor into the socket. It should drop in without resistance.
- Procesador seguro: Close the CPU socket retention arm to secure the processor in place.
- Aplicar pasta térmica: Apply a small amount (pea-sized dot) of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Instalar enfriador de CPU: Mount your CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring even pressure and good contact with the CPU. Connect the CPU cooler fan to the designated CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
