This section outlines the general steps for installing your Aigo AC SE 120 Water Cooler. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and PC case. Always refer to your motherboard and case manuals for detailed instructions.

5.1 Prepare the CPU Socket

1. Àwọn Socket Intel: Attach the correct Intel backplate to the rear of your motherboard. Secure the standoffs through the motherboard holes from the front.
2. Àwọn ihò ìtẹ̀wé AMD: The cooler typically uses the existing AMD backplate. Remove the plastic retention clips from the stock AMD cooler mount, leaving the backplate in place. Install the appropriate AMD standoffs.
3. Ensure the CPU is correctly seated in its socket.
4. Fi isopropyl alcohol nu oju CPU naa lati yọ eyikeyi ohun elo ooru atijọ tabi aloku kuro.
5. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). If thermal paste is pre-applied to the water block, skip this step.

5.2 Install the Radiator and Fan

1. Determine the optimal mounting location for the 120mm radiator in your PC case. Common locations include the rear exhaust or top exhaust.
2. Mount the 120mm fan to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the fan is oriented to push or pull air in the desired direction (e.g., exhaust air out of the case).

5.3 Mount the Water Block

1. Attach the correct mounting brackets to the water block/pump unit.
2. Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
3. Secure the water block with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

5.4 So Awọn kebulu pọ

1. Connect the pump power cable to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. If your motherboard has neither, use a SYS_FAN header and ensure it is set to run at full speed in the BIOS.
2. Connect the fan power cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. If your motherboard has multiple fan headers, consult your motherboard manual for the recommended CPU fan header.
3. If your cooler has RGB lighting, connect the RGB cable to a compatible RGB header on your motherboard (e.g., 3-pin ARGB or 4-pin RGB, depending on the cooler's connector type).
4. Route all cables neatly to avoid obstructing airflow or interfering with other components.

6. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

Once installed, the Aigo AC SE 120 Water Cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings.

• Agbara Ibẹrẹ Tan: After installation, power on your computer. The pump and fan should start operating.
• Eto BIOS/UEFI: Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the CPU_FAN and AIO_PUMP headers are configured correctly. It is recommended to set the pump header to run at full speed (100%) for optimal cooling performance. Fan speeds can be adjusted based on temperature curves for a balance of cooling and noise.
• Imọlẹ RGB: If connected to an RGB header, the lighting effects can typically be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
• Abojuto: Use system monitoring software to check CPU temperatures and ensure the cooler is functioning effectively.
