4.3. Langkah Instalasi Umum

  1. Prepare the CPU: Clean the CPU surface thoroughly, removing any old thermal paste.
  2. Install Backplate (if required): For Intel sockets, install the appropriate backplate behind the motherboard. AMD AM4/AM5 typically uses the stock backplate.
  3. Mount Standoffs: (utawa: Standoffs) Screw the correct standoffs for your CPU socket onto the backplate or motherboard.
  4. Aplikasi Thermal Paste: If not pre-applied, apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
  5. Pasang Blok Banyu: Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening in a diagonal pattern until snug.
  6. Pasang Radiator: Mount the 240mm radiator to an available fan mount location in your chassis (e.g., top, front). Ensure proper airflow direction.
  7. Sambungake penggemar: The fans are typically pre-mounted to the radiator. Connect both fan power cables to the provided Y-adapter cable, then connect the Y-adapter to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header.
  8. Connect ARGB: Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and water block to the motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header. Note: This cooler only supports 5V 3-pin ARGB. Do NOT connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header.
