Configuración e instalación
The Intel Core i7-7700K processor is compatible only with motherboards based on Intel 100 or 200 Series Chipsets and requires an LGA1151 socket. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS is updated to support Kaby Lake processors if necessary.
Pasos de instalación:
- Preparar la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention lever and load plate on your LGA1151 motherboard.
- Instalar procesador: Carefully align the processor with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the processor matches the triangle on the socket. Gently place the processor into the socket without forcing it.
- Procesador seguro: Cierre la placa de carga y asegúrela con la palanca de retención.
- Aplicar pasta térmica: Apply a thin, even layer of high-quality thermal paste to the center of the processor's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Instalar enfriador de CPU: Mount your chosen CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper contact and pressure for optimal heat dissipation.
- Conectar el ventilador del enfriador: Conecte el cable del ventilador del enfriador de la CPU al encabezado CPU_FAN designado en su placa base.
