For Intel Sockets (LGA115x/1200/1700/1851/2011/2066):

1. Uzstādiet atbilstošo aizmugurējo plāksni (ja tāda ir nepieciešama jūsu ligzdai) aiz mātesplates.
2. Screw in the correct standoffs into the motherboard's CPU cooler mounting holes.

AMD ligzdām (AM4/AM5):

1. Noņemiet plastmasas fiksācijas skavas no standarta AMD aizmugurējās plāksnes, bet atstājiet aizmugurējo plāksni vietā.
2. Screw in the correct AMD standoffs into the stock backplate's mounting holes.

4.3. Sūkņa/aukstās plāksnes uzstādīšana

1. Clean the CPU surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust or old thermal paste.
2. Apply a small amount of thermal paste (pea-sized dot or thin line) to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
3. Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
4. Secure the pump/cold plate with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.4. Pievienojiet kabeļus

• Sūkņa jauda: Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin connector to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
• Ventilatora jauda: Connect the two fan's 4-pin PWM connectors to the CPU_FAN and/or CHA_FAN headers on your motherboard. You may use a Y-splitter if only one header is available.
• ARGB apgaismojums: Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and pump to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard or an external ARGB controller. Piezīme: This cooler supports 5V 3-pin ARGB only. Do NOT connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header.
• LCD displejs: Connect the small USB cable from the pump head to an available internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is required for the LCD display functionality and software control.

5. Lietošanas instrukcijas

5.1. Initial Power On and BIOS Settings

After installation, power on your computer. Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header is set to PWM mode and not DC mode, and that fan curves are configured appropriately for optimal cooling and noise levels.

5.2. LCD displeja funkcionalitāte

The integrated IPS LCD display on the pump head provides real-time monitoring of CPU temperature, clock speed, and usage. It can also be customized to display images, GIFs, or videos.

6. Apkope

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your liquid cooler.

• Putekļu noņemšana: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure the fans are not spinning during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Cauruļu pārbaude: Occasionally check the tubing for any signs of kinks, wear, or leaks. While AIOs are sealed, visual inspection is good practice.
• Aukstās plāksnes kontaktpersona: Ensure the cold plate maintains good contact with the CPU. If temperatures rise unexpectedly, re-seating the cooler with fresh thermal paste might be necessary.

7. Traucējummeklēšana

• Nav strāvas/Ventilatori negriežas:
  • Check all power connections (pump, fans, ARGB).
  • Ensure fan and pump headers are correctly configured in BIOS.
• Augsta centrālā procesora temperatūra:
  • Verify the pump is running (you might feel a slight vibration or hear a low hum).
  • Ensure the cold plate has proper contact with the CPU and thermal paste is applied correctly.
  • Pārbaudiet, vai uz radiatora ribām nav uzkrājušies putekļi.
  • Lai nodrošinātu optimālu gaisa plūsmu, pārliecinieties par ventilatora orientāciju.
• LCD Display Not Working/No Image:
  • Ensure the internal USB 2.0 cable is securely connected to both the pump and the motherboard.
  • Install the Thermalright control software and check for display settings.
  • Restartējiet datoru.
• ARGB apgaismojuma problēmas:
