4. Instalační příručka

4.1 Obecná příprava

• Ensure your motherboard is removed from the PC case for easier installation.
• Remove any existing CPU cooler and clean the CPU surface thoroughly.
• Peel off the protective sticker from the cold plate of the waterblock before mounting.

4.2 Intel LGA1700 Installation

1. Install Intel Backplate: Place the Intel backplate from the back side of the motherboard. Ensure LGA1700 uses the outer holes on the backplate.

4. Mount Waterblock: Align the waterblock with the standoffs and place it onto the CPU. Secure it with the four included nuts, tightening them in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure.

4.4 Instalace ventilátoru a chladiče

1. Attach the two 120mm RGB fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's cooling setup (e.g., intake or exhaust).
2. Mount the assembled radiator and fan unit to your PC case. Typically, this is done at the top or front of the case. Use the appropriate screws for mounting the radiator to the case.

4.5 Pokyny pro zapojení

1. Připojení ventilátoru: Connect the 4-pin PWM headers from both fans to the included fan PWM splitter cable. Then, connect the splitter cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
2. Připojení čerpadla: Connect the 4-pin PWM header from the waterblock pump to the AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header on your motherboard.
3. ARGB Lighting Connection: Connect the 3-pin ARGB headers from both fans to the included ARGB splitter cable. Then, connect the splitter cable to a +5V ARGB 3-pin lighting socket on your motherboard. This allows for synchronization with motherboard RGB software.

5. Návod k obsluze

5.1 Řízení otáček ventilátoru (PWM)

The 120mm fans are Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled, allowing your motherboard to dynamically adjust fan speeds based on CPU temperature. This optimizes cooling performance while minimizing noise. Ensure the fan splitter is connected to the CPU_FAN header for proper control.

5.2 Ovládání RGB osvětlení

The 12V RGB lighting on the fans and pump can be controlled via your motherboard's compatible RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync). Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to the appropriate header on your motherboard to enable software control and customize lighting effects.

6. Údržba

• Čištění prachu: Regularly clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure the fans are not spinning during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Kontrola chladicí kapaliny: While AIO coolers are generally maintenance-free regarding coolant, some models allow for refilling. If your cooler features a refill port (check product documentation), you may top off the coolant if necessary over its lifespan.
• Inspekce trubek: Periodically check the tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.

7. Řešení problémů

• Vysoké teploty procesoru:
  • Ensure the waterblock is securely mounted with even pressure on the CPU.
  • Ověřte, zda byla teplovodivá pasta nanesena správně a dostatečně.
  • Check if pump and fan cables are properly connected to the motherboard headers (AIO_PUMP/CPU_OPT and CPU_FAN).
  • Confirm fans are spinning and radiator fins are free of dust.
• Nefunkční RGB osvětlení:
  • Ensure the 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a +5V ARGB header on the motherboard.
  • Check your motherboard's RGB software for lighting control and ensure it's up to date.
  • Verify that the ARGB splitter cable is functioning correctly.
• Unusual Noise from Pump/Fans:
  • Ensure all fan screws are tightened to prevent vibration.
  • Check for any cables obstructing fan blades.
  • If a gurgling sound is heard, it might indicate air bubbles in the loop. Gently tilt your PC case to help move air bubbles to the radiator.
