One of the most important parts of a personal computer is the motherboard. The most difficult thing to replace is this particular equipment, because most of the devices that make up a PC are connected to it.
Necessary
- - set of screwdrivers;
- - thermal grease.
Instructions
Step 1
First, remove the old motherboard from the case. Disconnect the system unit from the AC power. This will keep you safe when parsing internal elements. Remove the housing cover by unscrewing a few screws on the back.
Step 2
Disconnect all external devices and cables connected to the computer system board. Disconnect the internal elements: video card, RAM cards, power supply wires.
Step 3
Carefully remove the CPU heatsink. Pull the CPU out of the socket. Do not damage the veins of the device. Detach the backing on which the cooling radiator was attached.
Step 4
Remove the screws holding the motherboard to the case of the system unit. Remove the power supply. It usually interferes with the normal removal of the system board.
Step 5
Attach the heat sink pad to the new motherboard. It is best to perform this procedure before installing the hardware in the system unit. Insert the system board into the chassis. Never screw the equipment without using special spindles. They should have remained in the slots after removing the old card.
Step 6
Be aware that attaching hardware directly to the case will cause short circuits and damage the motherboard. Screw the board onto the spindles.
Step 7
Install all internals on the new system board. Be sure to replace the thermal grease on the CPU. First remove the remnants of the old paste from the surface of the CPU. Remember to clean the radiator before installing it.
Step 8
Install and secure the power supply. Connect the cables to the system board. Replace the required fans from the old equipment. Connect external devices to the desired ports. Close the chassis and turn on the computer. Check the functionality of the new motherboard.
