3. Pemasangan dan Persediaan

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Intel Core i5-2500 processor. Always handle the processor by its edges to avoid touching the contacts.

3.1 Senarai Semak Pra-Pemasangan

• Compatible Motherboard (LGA1155 socket)
• Pes Termal (jika tidak disapu terlebih dahulu pada penyejuk)
• CPU Cooler (stock or aftermarket)
• Tali pergelangan tangan anti statik
• Screwdriver (if required for cooler mounting)

3.2 Langkah Pemasangan

1. Sediakan Papan Induk: Ensure the motherboard is securely mounted in the PC case. Open the CPU socket retention arm and lift the metal load plate.
2. Pasang Pemproses: Carefully align the triangular arrow on the processor with the corresponding arrow on the CPU socket. Gently place the processor into the socket without forcing it.
3. Pemproses Selamat: Close the metal load plate over the processor and push down the retention arm until it clicks into place.
4. Sapukan Pes Terma: If your CPU cooler does not have pre-applied thermal paste, apply a small amount (pea-sized dot) to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
5. Pasang Penyejuk CPU: Mount the CPU cooler according to its specific instructions. Ensure it makes firm, even contact with the CPU. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
6. Sambungkan Kuasa: Connect the 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power cable from your power supply to the motherboard.

Note: Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions regarding CPU and cooler installation, as procedures may vary slightly.
