• Tilslutningskontrol: Occasionally check all connections (USB, SATA power, fan headers) to ensure they are firmly seated.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Kraken 240 RGB, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Ingen strøm/lys: Verify all power cables (SATA) and USB connections are securely attached. Check motherboard BIOS settings for fan/pump control.
• Høje CPU-temperaturer: Ensure the pump is properly seated on the CPU and mounting screws are tightened. Confirm fans are spinning and airflow is unobstructed. Check NZXT CAM for pump/fan speed settings.
• LCD-skærmen virker ikke: Ensure the USB 2.0 header connection from the pump to the motherboard is secure. Reinstall NZXT CAM software if necessary.
• Usædvanlige lyde: Check for any cables interfering with fan blades. Ensure the pump is not running dry (though unlikely with a sealed AIO). If unusual noises persist, contact support.
