5. Eto ati fifi sori

Before beginning installation, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Handle components with care to avoid damage.

5.1. Mura awọn modaboudu

  1. Remove any existing CPU cooler and clean off old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol.
  2. For Intel Sockets: Attach the universal backplate to the rear of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket. Secure it with the appropriate standoffs from the front side.
  3. For AMD Sockets: Retain the original AMD motherboard backplate. Remove the plastic retention clips from the front of the motherboard.

5.2. Waye Gbona Lẹẹ

Apply a small, pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.

5.3. Fi sori ẹrọ Awọn akọmọ Fifi

  1. Attach the correct Intel or AMD mounting brackets to the base of the cooler using the provided screws.
  2. Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the screws on the mounting brackets with the standoffs (Intel) or the original backplate (AMD).
  3. Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

5.4. Attach the Fan

  1. Using the included fan clips, secure the 120mm ARGB PWM fan to the heatsink. Ensure the fan is oriented to blow air through the heatsink towards the rear or top of your PC case for optimal airflow.

6. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

6.1. Iṣakoso Afẹ́fẹ́ (PWM)

The 120mm fan utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.

6.2. ARGB Lighting Customization

The cooler features Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, which can be synchronized with your motherboard's RGB software. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Supported software includes:

  • Sync ASUS Aura
  • MSI Mystic Light Sync
  • GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0
  • ASRock Polychrome amuṣiṣẹpọ

Use your motherboard's software to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization with other ARGB components in your system.
