How to install Gigabyte Ultra Durable A620M S2H Desktop Motherboard
- Prepare your workspace: work on a clean, non-static surface and gather a screwdriver, thermal paste (if using a cooler that requires it), and all required components (CPU, memory, cooling solution, storage, power supply, and case). Ensure you have the correct screws for your case and motherboard standoffs.
- Install the CPU: unlock the Socket AM5, align the CPU with the socket using the notches or markers, and gently seat it into place. Lock the socket Lever to secure the CPU. Do not apply excessive force.
- Apply memory: insert DDR5 modules into the recommended memory slots, ensuring the notches align and modules click into place. Apply even pressure on both ends until the retention clips snap.
- Secure the motherboard: place the I/O shield in the case, align the motherboard with the case standoffs, and secure it with screws. Ensure no extra mounting hardware is left loose.
- Connect power: attach the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4+4) CPU power connector from your power supply to the motherboard. Route cables neatly to avoid obstructing fans or components.
- Attach cooling solution: install your CPU cooler according to its mounting system. If your cooler requires thermal paste, apply a pea-sized amount to the CPU center before seating the cooler, then secure it firmly.
- Connect storage and peripherals: install M.2 SSDs or SATA drives as needed and connect them to the motherboard. Attach case fans and front-panel USB, audio, and power buttons to the appropriate headers following the motherboard manual.
- Initial boot and BIOS setup: power on and enter the BIOS to verify system recognition of CPU, memory, and storage. Update the BIOS if a newer version is available, set boot priority, and configure any performance or fan-curation options to suit your build.
- Operating system installation: proceed to install your preferred OS via USB or other boot media. Install chipset drivers and any required motherboard utilities for optimal performance.
