Follow these steps to properly install your Aigo ICE 400 CPU Cooler. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific CPU socket details if needed.

4.1. Даярдоо

1. Өчүрүү: Shut down your computer completely and unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.
2. Ачык иш: Open your computer case to access the motherboard and CPU area.
3. Эски муздаткычты алып салуу: If replacing an existing cooler, carefully remove it. Clean any old thermal paste from the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
4. Identify Socket: Determine your CPU socket type (e.g., Intel LGA 1700/1200/115X, AMD AM5/AM4) and select the appropriate mounting brackets from the package.

4.2. Монтаждык кронштейнди орнотуу

1. Арткы такта: For most Intel sockets and some AMD sockets, install the provided backplate behind the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
2. Stand-offs: Secure the stand-offs (spacers) onto the backplate or directly into the motherboard's mounting holes, depending on your socket type.
3. Орнотуу куралдары: Attach the appropriate mounting arms to the stand-offs using the provided screws.

4.3. Thermal Paste Application

If thermal paste is not pre-applied to the cooler's base:

• Apply a small, pea-sized dot of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's IHS.
• Do not spread the paste manually. The pressure from the heatsink will spread it evenly.

4.4. Heatsink and Fan Installation

1. Position Heatsink: Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes on the heatsink with the mounting arms/screws.
2. Secure Heatsink: Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. Желдетүүчүнү тиркөө: If the fan is not pre-attached, use the provided fan clips or screws to secure the 120mm fan to the heatsink. Ensure the fan is oriented to blow air through the heatsink fins towards the rear or top of the case.
4. Фан кабелин туташтыруу: Plug the fan's 3-pin power connector into the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for the exact location.

4.5. Акыркы текшерүүлөр

• Ensure the cooler is firmly seated and does not wobble.
• Verify that the fan cable is securely connected to the CPU_FAN header.
• Check for any obstructions that might prevent the fan from spinning freely.
• Компьютериңиздин корпусун жабыңыз.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

The Aigo ICE 400 CPU Cooler operates automatically once installed correctly. Its primary function is to maintain optimal CPU temperatures by dissipating heat.

• Күйгүзүү: Plug in your computer's power cable and power on the system.
• Күйөрман операциясы: The 120mm fan will start spinning as soon as the system powers on. Its speed will typically be controlled by the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings based on CPU temperature.
• Температура мониторинги: It is recommended to monitor your CPU temperatures using motherboard monitoring software or third-party utilities (e.g., HWMonitor, Core Temp) to ensure the cooler is functioning effectively. Ideal CPU temperatures vary but generally should remain below 80°C under load.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Aigo ICE 400 CPU Cooler.

• Dust Cleaning (Every 3-6 Months):
  • Компьютериңизди өчүрүп, сууруп коюңуз.
  • Компьютердин корпусун ачыңыз.
  • Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins and fan blades. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent over-spinning while cleaning.
  • Alternatively, use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to carefully remove dust.
• Thermal Paste Replacement (Every 2-3 Years or if temperatures rise):
  • If CPU temperatures significantly increase over time, the thermal paste may have dried out.
  • Carefully remove the heatsink from the CPU.
  • Clean off all old thermal paste from both the CPU IHS and the cooler's base using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
  • Apply new thermal paste as described in Section 4.3 and re-install the cooler.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

If you encounter issues with your Aigo ICE 400 CPU Cooler, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

7.1. Жогорку CPU температурасы

• Check Fan Connection: Ensure the fan is securely plugged into the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
• Verify Fan Spin: Confirm that the fan is spinning when the computer is on. If not, check the connection or consider a faulty fan.
• Жылыткыч менен байланыш: Ensure the heatsink is making firm, even contact with the CPU. Re-tighten mounting screws in a diagonal pattern if necessary.
• Термикалык паста: Insufficient or improperly applied thermal paste can cause high temperatures. Reapply thermal paste if needed (refer to Section 4.3).
• Чаңдын пайда болушу: Clean any dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades (refer to Section 6).
• Иштин аба агымы: Ensure your computer case has adequate airflow with proper intake and exhaust fans.

7.2. Желдетпейт

• Кубат туташуу: Double-check that the fan's 3-pin connector is fully inserted into the motherboard's "CPU_FAN" header.
• BIOS Орнотуулары: Enter your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings and ensure the CPU fan control is enabled and not set to a "silent" or "off" mode at low temperatures.
• Тоскоолдук: Check for any cables or debris obstructing the fan blades.
• Faulty Fan: If all else fails, the fan itself might be faulty and require replacement.

7.3. Ашыкча желдеткич ызы-чуу

• Чаңдын пайда болушу: Clean the fan blades and heatsink thoroughly. Dust can cause imbalance and noise.
• Бош монтаждоо: Ensure the fan is securely attached to the heatsink and the heatsink is securely mounted to the motherboard. Vibrations from loose components can cause noise.
• желдеткич ылдамдыгы: Adjust fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI. A higher fan speed will naturally produce more noise.
• Bearing Noise: If the noise is a grinding or rattling sound, the fan bearings may be failing. Consider replacing the fan.
