Generelle installationstrin

1. Forbered bundkort: Install the appropriate backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket (Intel LGA1851/1700/115x/1200/2011 or AMD AM4/AM5).
2. Påfør termisk forbindelse: Apply a small amount of thermal compound to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
3. Mount Water Block: Secure the water block onto the CPU, ensuring even pressure.
4. Installer radiator og ventilatorer: Mount the radiator and pre-installed fans to an available fan mount in your PC case. Ensure proper airflow direction.
5. Tilslut kabler:
   • Connect the pump power cable to the CPU_OPT or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
   • Connect the fan PWM cables to the fan splitter cable, then connect the splitter to a CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
   • Connect the ARGB lighting cables from the fans and water block to the motherboard's 3-pin +5V ARGB header for lighting synchronization.

Operation

The Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler is designed for efficient and quiet operation.

PWM Fan Control

The included TL-C12C-S ARGB fans feature Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control. This allows your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature, providing optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise levels. You can configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software.

ARGB Lighting Synchronization

The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting on both the CPU fans and the water block can be synchronized with your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header. This enables control over 16 million colors and various lighting effects through 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 3-pin ARGB for full functionality.

Opretholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse er med til at sikre din flydende CPU-kølers lange levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• Fjernelse af støv: Rengør kølerribberne og ventilatorbladene med jævne mellemrum for at forhindre støvophobning, som kan hæmme luftstrømmen og køleeffektiviteten. Brug trykluft eller en blød børste.
• Inspicer slange: Occasionally check the water tubes for any signs of wear, kinks, or leaks.
• Termisk forbindelse: While not frequently required, if you ever remove the water block, it is recommended to clean off old thermal compound and apply new compound before reinstallation.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler, consider the following common solutions:

• Ingen strøm/Ventilatorer drejer ikke:
  • Check all power connections to the pump and fans. Ensure they are securely plugged into the correct motherboard headers (CPU_OPT/AIO_PUMP for pump, CPU_FAN for fans).
  • Verify that the fan splitter cable is correctly connected.
• Dårlig køleydelse:
  • Sørg for, at vandblokken er sikkert monteret på CPU'en med tilstrækkeligt tryk.
  • Confirm that thermal compound was applied correctly and evenly.
  • Check for dust buildup on the radiator fins and clean if necessary.
  • Verify that fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (pushing air through the radiator).
• ARGB Lighting Not Working/Incorrect Colors:
  • Ensure all ARGB cables are securely connected to the motherboard's 3-pin +5V ARGB header.
  • Check your motherboard's ARGB software settings to ensure lighting is enabled and configured as desired.
  • Confirm your motherboard has a 3-pin +5V ARGB header, not a 4-pin +12V RGB header, as these are incompatible.
• Usædvanlig støj:
  • Kontroller, om der er løse skruer eller kabler i ventilatoren, der kommer i vejen for ventilatorbladene.
  • Ensure the pump is not running dry (though unlikely with AIOs, check for unusual gurgling sounds).
