5. Installationsvejledning
Follow these steps to install your ARCTIC Freezer i35 CO CPU Cooler. For a visual guide, please refer to the official video instructions available at support.arctic.de/freezeri35co.
5.1. Forberedelse
- Sørg for, at din computer er slukket, og at stikket er taget ud af stikkontakten.
- Åbn computerens kabinet for at få adgang til bundkortet.
- If replacing an existing cooler, carefully remove it and clean any old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol.
5.2. Mounting the Backplate
- Place the metal backplate on the rear side of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
- From the front side of the motherboard, insert the four backplate screws through the mounting holes and the backplate.
- Place a nylon spacer over each screw on the front side of the motherboard.
5.3. Påføring af termisk pasta
The Freezer i35 CO includes a syringe of ARCTIC MX-5 thermal paste. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). The pressure from the cooler will spread it evenly.

5.4. Montering af køleren
- Attach the two mounting modules to the base of the cooler, ensuring they are securely fastened.
- Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting screws with the holes on the mounting modules.
- Fastgør køleren ved at stramme skruerne diagonalt, indtil de sidder godt fast. Spænd ikke for hårdt.
5.5. Tilslutning af ventilatoren
- Locate the 4-pin PWM fan connector on your motherboard, typically labeled "CPU_FAN".
- Connect the 4-pin cable from the Freezer i35 CO fan to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.

6. Betjening
The ARCTIC Freezer i35 CO is designed for continuous and efficient operation. The 120 mm P-fan operates within a speed range of 200 to 1800 RPM, controlled by your motherboard's PWM signal. This allows for dynamic adjustment of fan speed based on CPU temperature, ensuring optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise.
The cooler supports a semi-passive mode, where the fan can stop spinning at low CPU loads to achieve silent operation. This feature is dependent on your motherboard's fan control settings.

7. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse er med til at sikre din CPU-kølers levetid og optimale ydeevne.
- Fjernelse af støv: Periodically clean the heatsink fins and fan blades to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
- Termisk pasta: While ARCTIC MX-5 thermal paste has excellent long-term stability, it is recommended to reapply thermal paste every few years or if you remove the cooler for any reason.
8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Freezer i35 CO, consider the following:
- Høje CPU-temperaturer:
- Sørg for, at køleren er sikkert monteret og har god kontakt med CPU'en.
- Kontroller, at termopastaen blev påført korrekt og jævnt.
- Check for dust buildup on the heatsink and fan.
- Confirm the fan is spinning and connected to the correct motherboard header (CPU_FAN).
- Ventilatoren drejer ikke:
- Check the fan cable connection to the motherboard.
- Verify motherboard BIOS/UEFI fan control settings. The fan may be in semi-passive mode at low temperatures.
- For meget ventilatorstøj:
- Sørg for, at ingen kabler blokerer ventilatorbladene.
- Check for dust buildup on the fan.
- Adjust fan speed curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.
