They warned users against scalping the chip, that is, removing the external metal casing in order to improve the characteristics of the chip. In addition, due to a high risk of breakdown, it is not recommended to independently repair the socket-a connector in the motherboard for installing the processor.

The authors emphasized that users should by no means disassemble the PC power supply-including due to the risk of current damage in contact with one of the capacitors. “Buying a new power supply is the best choice than to risk life, repairs the old one,” experts advised. They also noticed that professionals often clean computers with isopropyl alcohol, but an amateur can damage the internal components with liquid.
