A field technician is assembling a custom desktop workstation and installing a new Liquid All-in-One (AIO) CPU cooler onto an LGA-socket motherboard. To prevent severe thermal throttling and ensure optimal heat transfer across the CPU integrated heat spreader, which TWO of the following installation steps should the technician perform? (Select TWO.)
- Peel off the transparent protective plastic film from the copper cold plate base prior to mounting the cooler.Cevap
- Apply a proper amount of thermal paste to bridge microscopic air gaps between the processor and cooler mating surfaces.Cevap
- CCalculate power supply capacity by taking only the CPU thermal design power (TDP) into account while ignoring peak system load margins.
- DBypass checking alignment pin indicators on the socket during installation and apply downward force on the retention lever.
Cevap
The technician must peel off the protective plastic film from the cooler's copper cold plate base and apply thermal paste between the CPU heat spreader and the cooler surface.
Proper thermal management requires removing factory protective films from cooler bases so heat conducts efficiently from the CPU's integrated heat spreader into the cold plate. Additionally, thermal paste must be applied to eliminate air pockets, ensuring maximum thermal conductivity to the liquid cooling system.
