4. Instalacja

Installing a CPU requires careful handling and adherence to specific procedures. It is recommended that installation be performed by an experienced individual or a qualified technician. Always consult your motherboard's manual for detailed, model-specific installation instructions.

4.1. Przygotowanie

• Zgodność: Ensure your motherboard supports the LGA 1151 socket and the Intel Pentium G4400 processor. Check your motherboard's CPU support list.
• Elektryczność statyczna: Take anti-static precautions, such as using an anti-static wrist strap or touching a grounded metal object before handling components.
• Obszar roboczy: Prepare a clean, well-lit, and organized workspace.
• Narzędzia: You may need a Phillips head screwdriver and thermal paste (if not pre-applied to the cooler or if using an aftermarket cooler).

4.2. Kroki instalacji procesora

1. Otwórz gniazdo procesora: Locate the CPU socket on your motherboard. Gently push down the small metal lever on the side of the socket and pull it away from the socket to open the retention plate.
2. Orient the CPU: Carefully remove the Intel Pentium G4400 processor from its packaging. Observe the gold triangle or notch on one corner of the CPU. Align this with the corresponding mark on the CPU socket.
3. Place the CPU: Gently lower the CPU straight down into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not sit perfectly, re-check the orientation.
4. Zamknij gniazdo procesora: Close the retention plate over the CPU and push the metal lever back into its locked position. This will secure the CPU firmly.
5. Nałóż pastę termoprzewodzącą (jeśli to konieczne): Jeśli w Twoim coolerze nie ma fabrycznie nałożonej pasty termoprzewodzącej, nałóż jej niewielką ilość wielkości ziarnka grochu na środek zintegrowanego rozpraszacza ciepła (IHS) procesora.
6. Montaż chłodzenia procesora: Place the Intel stock cooler onto the CPU, aligning the four pins with the holes on the motherboard. Push down firmly on each pin until it clicks into place. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the 'CPU_FAN' header on the motherboard.

5. Działanie

The Intel Pentium G4400 processor functions as the central processing unit (CPU) of your computer system. Once correctly installed and integrated with a compatible motherboard, RAM, storage, and power supply, it will execute instructions and manage data processing for all software applications.

5.1. Wymagania systemowe

• Płyta główna: Compatible with LGA 1151 socket and supporting the G4400 processor.
• BARAN: DDR4 SDRAM is required. Consult motherboard specifications for supported speeds and capacities.
• Zasilanie: A stable power supply unit (PSU) with sufficient wattage for all system components.
• System operacyjny: Compatible with 64-bit instruction sets.

5.2. Zintegrowana grafika

The G4400 processor includes integrated Intel HD Graphics 510, which can provide display output without the need for a dedicated graphics card. Ensure your motherboard has appropriate video output ports (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA) to utilize the integrated graphics.

6. Konserwacja

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your processor and computer system.

• Zarządzanie pyłem: Regularly clean the interior of your computer case to prevent dust buildup on the CPU cooler and other components. Dust can impede airflow and lead to overheating.
• Pasta termoprzewodząca: Over several years, thermal paste can dry out. If you notice increased CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This typically involves removing the CPU cooler, cleaning off old paste, and applying new paste.
• Monitorowanie temperatury: Use system monitoring software to keep track of CPU temperatures. Ensure temperatures remain within safe operating limits, especially under load.
• Aktualizacje BIOS-u/UEFI: Keep your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI firmware updated. These updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and enhanced CPU compatibility.

7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your system after installing the Intel Pentium G4400 processor, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

7.1. System nie uruchamia się / brak wyświetlacza

• Sprawdź połączenia: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are securely connected to the motherboard. Verify that the CPU cooler fan is connected to the 'CPU_FAN' header.
• Rozmieszczenie procesorów: Re-open the CPU socket and carefully re-seat the processor, ensuring it is correctly aligned and the retention lever is locked.
• BARAN: Ensure RAM modules are properly seated in their slots. Try booting with only one RAM stick if multiple are installed.
• Zgodność z płytą główną: Double-check that your motherboard BIOS/UEFI version supports the G4400 processor. An older BIOS might not recognize newer CPUs.

7.2. Problemy z przegrzewaniem

• Montaż chłodnicy: Verify that the CPU cooler is correctly installed and making firm contact with the CPU's IHS. Ensure all four push-pins (for stock cooler) are fully engaged.
• Pasta termoprzewodząca: Confirm that thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly between the CPU and cooler.
• Przepływ powietrza: Ensure adequate airflow within the computer case. Check that case fans are functioning and oriented correctly.
