JAKARTA - Assembling a PC is not as easy as imagined so that novice assemblers tend to make risky technical mistakes. Some mistakes can even permanently damage components.
Therefore, you need to know what things to avoid when assembling a PC. Actions in the installation process can avoid you from financial losses. Here are some actions to avoid, launching from Makeuseof.
Force CPU to Enter with Wrong
When inserting the CPU into the socket, forced action can provide excessive pressure. This is one of the most fatal mistakes that often occur and need to be avoided.
If there is an misalignment, hundreds of fine pins can be bent and the processing unit can also be damaged. Therefore, you must match the small hole marks on the CPU with the socket carefully without giving manual pressure.
Pay Attention to Slot Order and RAM Pressure
Installing RAM in the wrong slot can cut the system's data transfer speed by half of its original capacity. Many beginners install memory chips with the original without paying attention to the slot label to enable dual-channel mode.
This needs to be avoided. Make sure you install the memory in the slot recommended by the motherboard, usually in positions A2 and B2. Apply enough pressure until the two hooks click to ensure the connection between the components is perfect.
Don't Let the Cables Get Messy
Cable management is often ignored because it is considered only related to aesthetic or beauty issues. In fact, a messy cable can hinder airflow and trigger dust buildup that causes excess heat.
It is highly recommended to plan the cable path behind the motherboard tray from the very beginning of the assembly process. Use the fastening points and Velcro straps to keep the front air path clean so that the hardware temperature is maintained.
A re-examination of the cable management should be carried out if you hear the fan noise too loud. This simple step is much more effective than rushing to replace the hardware that is still working properly.
