Installing a processor requires careful handling and adherence to specific procedures. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure your motherboard is compatible with the LGA2011-v3 socket and X99 chipset, and supports DDR4 memory.

4.1. I mua i to tiimata

• Taki Hototahi: Verify that your motherboard supports the Intel Core i7-5820K processor (LGA2011-v3 socket, X99 chipset).
• Weto Whakakore: Always disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet before opening your computer case.
• Rere Pateko: Mauria he whitiki ringaringa ārai-pūmau, he pā atu rānei ki tētahi mea whakarewa kua whenua hei ārai i te kino o te tukunga hiko pūmau (ESD).
• Rongoa whakamahana: This processor is sold as "CPU Only" and does not include a stock cooler. A high-quality aftermarket CPU cooler (air or liquid) is required for proper operation and thermal management.
• Whakapiri Weariki: Have thermal paste ready, as it is essential for efficient heat transfer between the CPU and the cooler.

4.2. Nga Waahi Whakatukatuka Tukatuka

1. Whakatuwherahia te turanga CPU: Locate the CPU socket on your motherboard. Carefully open the socket retention mechanism by pushing down and out on the lever(s).
2. Whakaritea te Tukatuka: Align the triangular gold arrow on the corner of the processor with the corresponding mark on the CPU socket. Ensure the notches on the processor align with the keys in the socket.
3. Kōkuhu pūtukatuka: Whakanohoia te tukatuka tika ki raro ki te turanga. Kaua e kaha. Ki te kore e noho ngawari, tirohia ano te tirohanga.
4. Katia te turanga PTM: Close the socket retention mechanism by pushing the lever(s) back into place until they click.
5. Hoatu te Whakapiri Weariki: Apply a small amount of thermal paste (typically a pea-sized dot) to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
6. Tāutahia te whakamatao CPU: Follow the instructions provided with your aftermarket CPU cooler to properly install it onto the motherboard, ensuring firm and even contact with the CPU. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the designated CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.

5. Whakahaere i te Tukatuka

Once installed, the Intel Core i7-5820K processor operates automatically within your system. Its performance is managed by the operating system and motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings.

5.1. Whakamahinga Whanui

• The processor will dynamically adjust its clock speed and power consumption based on workload, utilizing Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 for peak performance when needed.
• Ensure your operating system and drivers (especially chipset drivers) are up to date for optimal performance and stability.
• For multi-GPU configurations (SLI/CrossFire), be aware that the i7-5820K provides 28 PCIe lanes. While sufficient for many setups, high-end multi-GPU configurations or extensive PCIe storage might benefit from processors with 40 lanes.

5.2. Overclocking (Kaiwhakamahi Arā Atu Anō)

The Intel Core i7-5820K is an unlocked processor, allowing for overclocking to achieve higher clock speeds. Overclocking can increase performance but also generates more heat and may void your warranty if not done correctly. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
