Introduzione
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Intel Core i3-10100 Desktop Processor. The Intel Core i3-10100 is a 10th Generation desktop processor designed for everyday computing, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. It features 4 Cores and 8 Threads, with a maximum clock speed of up to 4.3 GHz. This processor is compatible with Intel 400 series chipset based motherboards and includes a cooler in the box.

Installazione è installazione
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your processor. Please follow these general guidelines. Refer to your motherboard's specific manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions.
- Compatibilità di a scheda madre: Ensure your motherboard uses an LGA 1200 socket and is based on an Intel 400 series chipset. This processor is not compatible with other socket types or chipsets.
- Preparazione: Before handling the processor, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
- Preparazione di u socket: Open the CPU retention lever on the motherboard's LGA 1200 socket.
- Processor Placement: Carefully align the processor with the socket, matching the gold triangle on the CPU with the corresponding mark on the socket. Gently lower the processor into the socket without forcing it.
- Secure Processor: Close the retention lever to secure the processor in place.
- Stallazione Cooler: The Intel Core i3-10100 includes a stock cooler. Apply thermal paste (if not pre-applied) and install the cooler according to the instructions provided with the cooler. Ensure it is securely mounted and the fan cable is connected to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
- System Assembly: Reassemble your computer components, ensuring all necessary power cables and data cables are connected.
