how to install Intel 300 Dual-core (2 Core) 3.90 GHz Processor Upgrade

  • Prepare your system: power down completely, unplug from the power source, and discharge static by touching a grounded metal surface.
  • Verify compatibility: ensure your motherboard uses the LGA-1700 socket and that the BIOS supports the Intel 300 series upgrade path. Update the BIOS if recommended by the motherboard manufacturer before installation.
  • Access the CPU socket: remove the computer case panel and detach or lift the CPU cooler to expose the socket. If your cooler uses thermal paste, clean the old paste from both the cooler and the CPU lid.
  • Install the processor: align the processor with the notches on the socket, gently place the CPU into the socket, and lower the lever to secure it. Do not apply excessive force; the processor should sit flat and firmly.
  • Reapply cooling and verify seating: apply a thin, even layer of thermal interface material if your cooler doesn’t have pre-applied paste, remount the CPU cooler, reconnect the fan, and ensure all cables are secure.
  • Power up and configure: boot into the BIOS/UEFI panel to confirm the CPU is detected and to adjust any power, performance, or memory settings as needed. Consider enabling XMP profiles if your memory supports them for optimized performance.
  • Install or update operating system drivers: after the system boots, install essential drivers for the chipset, graphics, and any peripherals to ensure optimal stability and performance.
