4. Configuración e instalación

4.1. Preparación de la placa base

1. Compatibilidad: Ensure your motherboard has an AM4 socket and supports Ryzen 3000 series processors. Consult your motherboard's manual for CPU compatibility.
2. Actualización de BIOS/UEFI: It is recommended to update your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to the latest version before installing the CPU, especially if it's an older motherboard model.
3. Espacio de trabajo limpio: Prepare un espacio de trabajo limpio, bien iluminado y sin estática.

4.2. Instalación del procesador

1. Abrir zócalo de CPU: Locate the AM4 CPU socket on your motherboard. Lift the small metal lever on the side of the socket to open it.
2. Procesador de alineación: Carefully remove the Ryzen 3 3300X processor from its packaging. Identify the golden triangle or arrow on one corner of the CPU and align it with the corresponding triangle/arrow on the motherboard's CPU socket.
3. Procesador de inserción: Gently place the processor into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not drop in easily, re-check the alignment.
4. Procesador seguro: Once the processor is seated correctly, push the metal lever back down to secure the CPU in the socket.

4.3. Cooler Installation (AMD Wraith Stealth)

1. Preparar el enfriador: The Wraith Stealth Cooler comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If you are reusing a cooler or applying new thermal paste, ensure the CPU surface is clean and apply a pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
2. Posición del enfriador: Place the Wraith Stealth Cooler onto the CPU, aligning the four spring-loaded screws with the holes on the motherboard's AM4 retention bracket.
3. Enfriador seguro: Tighten the four screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until they are finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Conectar el cable del ventilador: Connect the cooler's 4-pin fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1. Configuración de BIOS/UEFI

After initial boot, enter your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing DEL or F2 during startup). Key settings to check:

• Memoria Profile (XMP/DOCP): Habilitar Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) or D.O.C.P. (Direct Over Clock Profile) for your RAM to run at its advertised speeds.
• CPU Settings: Verify that the CPU is recognized correctly. Advanced users may adjust Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) settings for enhanced performance.
• Control del ventilador: Configure fan curves for the CPU cooler to balance cooling performance and noise levels.

5.2. Instalación del controlador

Install the latest AMD Chipset Drivers for your motherboard from the official AMD websitiowww.amd.com/support). These drivers are crucial for optimal system stability and performance.

5.3. Overclocking (Usuarios avanzados)

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is an unlocked processor, allowing for overclocking to achieve higher performance. Overclocking should only be attempted by experienced users as it can lead to system instability or component damage if not done correctly. AMD provides the Utilidad AMD Ryzen Master for fine-tuning CPU settings within Windows.

6. Mantenimiento

6.1. Cleaning the Cooler

Over time, dust can accumulate in the Wraith Stealth Cooler's heatsink fins, reducing its cooling efficiency. Regularly clean the cooler:

• Power off and unplug your computer.
• Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning excessively during cleaning.
• For stubborn dust, a soft brush can be used.

6.2. Thermal Paste Reapplication

The thermal paste on the Wraith Stealth Cooler is designed for long-term use. However, if you remove the cooler for any reason, or if you notice consistently high temperatures, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste from both the CPU and the cooler's base and apply a fresh layer of high-quality thermal compound before reinstallation.

7. Solución de problemas

• El sistema no arranca/no aparece nada en la pantalla:
  • Asegúrese de que todos los cables de alimentación (ATX de 24 pines, CPU de 8 pines) estén conectados de forma segura.
  • Verify the CPU is correctly seated in the socket and the cooler is properly installed.
  • Check RAM modules are fully seated in their slots.
  • Confirm your monitor is connected to the graphics card (Ryzen 3 3300X does not have integrated graphics).
  • Try resetting the motherboard's CMOS.
• Altas temperaturas de la CPU:
  • Ensure the CPU cooler fan is spinning and connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Verify the cooler is making proper contact with the CPU and the thermal paste application is adequate.
  • Check for proper airflow in your PC case.
  • Clean any dust accumulation on the cooler.
• Inestabilidad del sistema/fallos:
  • Asegúrese de que todos los controladores, especialmente los controladores del chipset, estén actualizados.
  • Check RAM stability (e.g., run a memory test).
  • If overclocking, revert to default CPU settings to rule out instability caused by overclock.
