4. Eto ati fifi sori

This section outlines the general steps for installing the Zalman CNPS9X Performa Plus ARGB CPU Cooler. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type (Intel or AMD).

4.1. Igbaradi

1. Agbara Pa: Pa kọ̀ǹpútà rẹ kí o sì yọ okùn agbára náà kúrò.
2. Access Motherboard: Open your computer case to access the motherboard and CPU socket.
3. Remove Old Cooler: If an old cooler is present, carefully remove it and clean any residual thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
4. Identify Socket Type: Determine if your CPU is Intel (LGA 1851/1700/1200/1151/2011) or AMD (AM5/AM4) to select the correct mounting hardware.

4.2. Ṣíṣeto Itutu naa

Follow the instructions specific to your CPU socket type:

For Intel Sockets (LGA 1851/1700/1200/1151/2011):

1. Install the appropriate Intel backplate on the rear of the motherboard, aligning the holes.
2. Secure the standoffs through the motherboard from the front side.
3. Attach the Intel mounting brackets to the cooler base using the provided screws.
4. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
5. Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
6. Secure the cooler by tightening the mounting screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

For AMD Sockets (AM5/AM4):

1. Remove the plastic retention clips from the stock AMD backplate (if present), but keep the original backplate.
2. Install the AMD standoffs onto the original backplate's screw holes.
3. Attach the AMD mounting brackets to the cooler base using the provided screws.
4. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
5. Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
6. Secure the cooler by tightening the mounting screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

5. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

Once installed, the Zalman CNPS9X Performa Plus ARGB CPU Cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings.

• Iṣakoso Iyara Fan (PWM): The 4-pin PWM connection allows your motherboard to dynamically adjust the fan speed based on CPU temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.
• Iṣakoso Imọlẹ ARGB: The ARGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). Ensure your motherboard supports 5V Addressable RGB.

• Yiyọ eruku kuro: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments) use compressed air to clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the fan motor.
• Lẹẹ igbona: While not frequently required, if you remove the cooler for any reason, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste from both the CPU and cooler base and apply a fresh layer before reinstallation.
