Introduction

This CPU doesn't have the same graphics card as the disassembly tutorial. In the latter, the graphics card is a reduced format. However, full-size graphics cards are usually accompanied by a guide to prevent physical damage to the card or motherboard port.

This guide, screwed to the graphics card, makes installing or removing a graphics card more delicate. That's why this replacement tutorial will also include steps for reinstalling such a graphics card.

There's also a step-by-step guide to show which graphics cards are compatible with this model in terms of size.

    • The first two steps must be performed simultaneously. If you release the tab, it returns to its previous position.

    • Raise the tab that maintains the GPU in its port.

    • Raise the GPU slowly from the side of the guide until the GPU partially comes out of its port.

    • Raise the GPU from its other side.

    • If your GPU has no guide, you can go to the next step.

    • Introduce the new GPU at 45º from the motherboard.

    • Pay attention and avoid damaging the motherboard during the insertion.

    • Place the guide in front of the appropriate slot and push the graphics card into it, making sure it fits into its PCI slot.

    • To check that your graphics card is correctly installed, check that the tab is properly locked in place.

    • Don't forget to connect the power supply cables of the GPU if it's necessary.
