5. Installationsvejledning

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO Dark CPU Cooler. Please follow the instructions carefully for your specific CPU socket type.

5.1. Generel forberedelse

1. Sørg for, at din computer er slukket, og at stikket er taget ud af stikkontakten.
2. Åbn computerens kabinet for at få adgang til bundkortet.
3. Remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface thoroughly to remove old thermal paste.
4. Remove the protective sticker from the heatsink base before applying thermal compound.

5.2. Installation af AMD AM4/AM5

1. Remove the plastic brackets from the motherboard around the CPU socket. Keep the original motherboard backplate.
2. Install the four AM4 plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's backplate screws.
3. Place the two metal brackets onto the plastic standoffs and secure them with the four AM4 screws.

5.3. Intel LGA1700-installation

1. Adjust the mounting holes on the universal backplate to the 1700 position.
2. Installer bagpladen fra bagsiden af ​​bundkortet.
3. Install the four Intel 1700 plastic standoffs onto the backplate screws on the front side of the motherboard.
4. Place the two metal brackets onto the plastic standoffs and secure them with the four Intel screws.

5.4. Thermal Compound Application

Apply a small amount of thermal compound (included) onto the center of the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). A pea-sized dot or a thin line is generally sufficient. The pressure from the heatsink will spread it evenly.

5.5. Heatsink Mounting

1. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts on the heatsink with the screws on the installed brackets.
2. Tighten both nuts evenly with a screwdriver until secure. Do not overtighten.

5.6. Fan Connections

1. Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
2. If your cooler includes ARGB lighting (check your specific model), connect the 3-pin +5V ARGB lighting cable to the appropriate ARGB header on your motherboard.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

The Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO Dark CPU Cooler features a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan. This means the fan speed is automatically adjusted by your motherboard based on the CPU temperature, ensuring optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise.

• Ensure the fan's 4-pin connector is securely plugged into the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
• You can typically configure fan curves and monitoring settings within your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or through manufacturer-provided software. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions.

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.
• Ventilator inspektion: Check the fan for any signs of damage or unusual noise. If the fan is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
• Termisk pasta: Reapply thermal paste if you remove the cooler for any reason, or if you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures over time.

8. Fejlfinding

• Høje CPU-temperaturer:
  • Sørg for, at kølepladen er monteret korrekt og har fuld kontakt med CPU'en.
  • Kontroller, at termopastaen blev påført korrekt og jævnt.
  • Check for dust buildup on the heatsink fins and fan blades.
  • Confirm the fan is spinning and connected to the correct motherboard header (CPU_FAN).
  • Check fan speed settings in BIOS/UEFI; ensure they are not set too low.
• Ventilatoren drejer ikke:
  • Ensure the fan's 4-pin PWM cable is correctly connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Kontrollér BIOS/UEFI-indstillingerne for at sikre, at CPU_FAN-headeren er aktiveret og konfigureret korrekt.
  • Test the fan by connecting it to another fan header if available, to rule out a faulty fan.
• Unusual Noise from Cooler:
  • Check for loose cables or objects obstructing the fan blades.
  • Sørg for, at ventilatoren er sikkert fastgjort til kølepladen.
  • If the noise persists and is excessive, the fan bearing might be faulty, requiring a replacement fan.
