When buying a computer, you can save a lot if you buy it for components and refuse assembly services in the store. In this case, of course, you will have to assemble the system unit yourself, install a cooler, processor and other components yourself. But in reality, assembling a computer is not difficult. This requires only attentiveness, accuracy and a certain amount of time. And the savings obtained upon purchase will be justified.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do when assembling a computer is to install a cooler, processor on the motherboard. To do this, we put the motherboard on a hard surface that will not allow it to squeeze when pressed.
Step 2
We carefully examine the processor itself and the socket for it on the motherboard. The processors lack antennae-contacts on one or several sides. This is for ease of assembly. At the same time, the socket lacks the corresponding nests for these antennae. Having combined the processor with the socket according to these criteria, we release it. If the connection is correct, it will fail easily.
Step 3
On the side of the socket is the processor clamping lever. Without applying extra effort, carefully close the lever. It will permanently and firmly fix the processor in the socket.
Step 4
Lubricate the cooler radiator sole with thermal grease. Separately, squeeze a drop of paste onto the processor.
Step 5
We combine the cooler with the processor and fix it. Depending on the design of the radiator, the coolers are fastened either with levers like a processor clamp, or with special locks, or screwed in.
Step 6
We connect the power cables from the cooler to the corresponding connector on the motherboard.
Step 7
We install the motherboard in the system box. The rest of the components are easier and faster to connect already in the system unit.
