2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Please read and understand all safety precautions before proceeding with installation. Improper handling can damage the processor or other components.

• Beskyttelse mod elektrostatisk afladning (ESD): Always use an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object (e.g., your computer case) before handling components to prevent ESD damage.
• Sluk: Sørg for, at dit computersystem er helt slukket og taget stikket ud af stikkontakten, før du installerer eller fjerner komponenter.
• Håndteres med forsigtighed: Processors are delicate. Avoid touching the gold contacts or pins (if applicable) on the bottom of the CPU. Hold the processor by its edges.
• Ventilation: Sørg for tilstrækkelig luftgennemstrømning i computerens kabinet for at forhindre overophedning.
• Termisk pasta: The included Wraith Stealth Cooler has pre-applied thermal paste. If reapplying, use a high-quality thermal compound.

4. Opsætning og installation

4.1. Forberedelse af bundkort

1. Kompatibilitet: Ensure your motherboard has an AM4 socket and supports Ryzen 3000 series processors. Consult your motherboard's manual for CPU compatibility.
2. BIOS/UEFI-opdatering: It is recommended to update your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to the latest version before installing the CPU, especially if it's an older motherboard model.
3. Ryd arbejdsområde: Forbered et rent, godt oplyst og statisk-frit arbejdsområde.

4.2. Processorinstallation

1. Åben CPU-sokkel: Locate the AM4 CPU socket on your motherboard. Lift the small metal lever on the side of the socket to open it.
2. Juster processor: Carefully remove the Ryzen 3 3300X processor from its packaging. Identify the golden triangle or arrow on one corner of the CPU and align it with the corresponding triangle/arrow on the motherboard's CPU socket.
3. Indsæt processor: Gently place the processor into the socket. Do not force it. If it does not drop in easily, re-check the alignment.
4. Sikker processor: Once the processor is seated correctly, push the metal lever back down to secure the CPU in the socket.

4.3. Cooler Installation (AMD Wraith Stealth)

1. Prepare Cooler: The Wraith Stealth Cooler comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If you are reusing a cooler or applying new thermal paste, ensure the CPU surface is clean and apply a pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
2. Position køler: Place the Wraith Stealth Cooler onto the CPU, aligning the four spring-loaded screws with the holes on the motherboard's AM4 retention bracket.
3. Sikker køler: Tighten the four screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until they are finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Tilslut ventilatorkabel: Connect the cooler's 4-pin fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1. BIOS/UEFI-konfiguration

After initial boot, enter your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing DEL or F2 during startup). Key settings to check:

• Memory Profile (XMP/DOCP): Aktivér Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) or D.O.C.P. (Direct Over Clock Profile) for your RAM to run at its advertised speeds.
• CPU Settings: Verify that the CPU is recognized correctly. Advanced users may adjust Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) settings for enhanced performance.
• Ventilatorkontrol: Configure fan curves for the CPU cooler to balance cooling performance and noise levels.

5.2. Driver installation

Install the latest AMD Chipset Drivers for your motherboard from the official AMD webwebsted (www.amd.com/support). These drivers are crucial for optimal system stability and performance.

5.3. Overclocking (avancerede brugere)

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is an unlocked processor, allowing for overclocking to achieve higher performance. Overclocking should only be attempted by experienced users as it can lead to system instability or component damage if not done correctly. AMD provides the AMD Ryzen Master Utility for fine-tuning CPU settings within Windows.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1. Cleaning the Cooler

Over time, dust can accumulate in the Wraith Stealth Cooler's heatsink fins, reducing its cooling efficiency. Regularly clean the cooler:

• Sluk og tag stikket ud af computeren.
• Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning excessively during cleaning.
• For stubborn dust, a soft brush can be used.

6.2. Genpåføring af termopasta

The thermal paste on the Wraith Stealth Cooler is designed for long-term use. However, if you remove the cooler for any reason, or if you notice consistently high temperatures, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste from both the CPU and the cooler's base and apply a fresh layer of high-quality thermal compound before reinstallation.

7. Fejlfinding

• Systemet starter ikke / Ingen skærm:
  • Sørg for, at alle strømkabler (24-bens ATX, 8-bens CPU) er tilsluttet korrekt.
  • Verify the CPU is correctly seated in the socket and the cooler is properly installed.
  • Kontroller, at RAM-modulerne er helt på plads i deres slots.
  • Confirm your monitor is connected to the graphics card (Ryzen 3 3300X does not have integrated graphics).
  • Try resetting the motherboard's CMOS.
• Høje CPU-temperaturer:
  • Ensure the CPU cooler fan is spinning and connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Verify the cooler is making proper contact with the CPU and the thermal paste application is adequate.
  • Check for proper airflow in your PC case.
  • Clean any dust accumulation on the cooler.
• Systemustabilitet / Nedbrud:
  • Ensure all drivers, especially chipset drivers, are up to date.
  • Check RAM stability (e.g., run a memory test).
  • If overclocking, revert to default CPU settings to rule out instability caused by overclock.
