1. დედაპლატის მომზადება: Open the CPU socket retention lever on your motherboard.
2. პროცესორის ჩასმა: Carefully align the triangular arrow on the processor with the corresponding mark on the CPU socket. Gently lower the processor into the socket. Do not force it; if it does not seat easily, re-check alignment.
3. პროცესორის დამაგრება: პროცესორის თავის ადგილზე დასამაგრებლად დახურეთ CPU-ს ბუდის შემაკავებელი ბერკეტი.
4. წაისვით თერმული პასტა: Apply a small amount of high-quality thermal paste (e.g., a pea-sized dot) to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). This ensures efficient heat transfer to the heatsink.
5. Install the Heatsink and Fan: Place the CPU heatsink and fan assembly directly onto the processor, ensuring even contact with the thermal paste. Secure the heatsink according to its specific mounting mechanism (e.g., push-pins, screws). Connect the fan's power cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
6. System Assembly: Reassemble your computer components and connect all necessary cables.
7. საწყისი ჩატვირთვა: Power on your system. The system may require one or two reboots to properly recognize the new processor.

For detailed visual instructions, consult your motherboard's user manual or search for specific CPU installation guides for LGA775 sockets online.

Processors generally require minimal maintenance. However, ensuring proper cooling is essential for longevity and stable performance.

• მტვრის მოცილება: Periodically clean the CPU heatsink and fan to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to higher temperatures. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fins and fan blades.
• Thermal Paste Integrity: While thermal paste typically lasts for several years, if you notice consistently high CPU temperatures or have removed the heatsink, it is advisable to clean off old thermal paste and apply a fresh layer.
• სისტემის ჰაერის ნაკადი: Ensure good airflow within your computer case by managing cables and keeping intake/exhaust vents clear.

პრობლემების მოგვარება

If you encounter issues after installing or while using your Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• სისტემა არ ირთვება / ეკრანი არ ჩანს:
  • Verify the CPU is correctly seated in the socket and the retention lever is fully closed.
  • Ensure the CPU fan is connected to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header.
  • Check that all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4/8-pin CPU) are securely connected to the motherboard.
  • Confirm your motherboard's BIOS version supports the E8400. If not, you may need to temporarily install an older, supported CPU to update the BIOS.
• მაღალი CPU ტემპერატურა:
  • Ensure sufficient thermal paste was applied and spread evenly between the CPU and heatsink.
  • Verify the heatsink is properly mounted and making firm, even contact with the CPU.
  • Check that the CPU fan is spinning correctly and not obstructed.
  • გაწმინდეთ მტვერი გამაგრილებელი მოწყობილობის ფარფლებიდან და ვენტილატორის პირებიდან.
  • Note that some monitoring software may report inaccurate temperatures for this processor. Tools like Real Temp 2.41 are often recommended for more accurate readings.
• სისტემის არასტაბილურობა / ავარიები:
  • This could be related to high temperatures (see above).
  • Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) provides sufficient and stable power to all components.
  • Run memory diagnostic tools to rule out RAM issues.
  • Check for driver updates for your motherboard chipset.
