4. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Please follow the steps carefully. Refer to Video 2 for a visual guide.

4.1. Орнотууга чейинки кадамдар

1. Ensure your motherboard is removed from the PC case for easier access.
2. Эски термикалык паста же калдыктарды кетирүү үчүн процессордун бетин изопропил спирти менен кылдат тазалаңыз.

4.2. Intel Socket Installation (LGA1700/1200/115X)

1. Install the included Intel backplate onto the rear of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket.
2. Secure the Intel backplate using the provided Intel standoffs. For LGA1700, use the specific LGA1700 socket columns. For LGA1200/115X, use the LGA1200/115X socket columns. Tighten the thumbscrews until secure.
3. Apply a pea-sized amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
4. Install the Intel bracket onto the pump head. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
5. Remove the protective sticker from the pump head's copper base.
6. Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it by tightening the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug.

4.3. AMD Socket Installation (AM5/AM4)

1. Remove the plastic retention clips from the motherboard, but keep the stock AMD backplate.
2. Install the AMD standoffs onto the stock backplate's mounting holes.
3. Apply a pea-sized amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
4. Install the AMD bracket onto the pump head. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
5. Remove the protective sticker from the pump head's copper base.
6. Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it by tightening the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug.

4.4. Радиатор жана желдеткич орнотуу

1. Mount the two 120mm PWM fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is as desired (typically intake or exhaust depending on case mounting).
2. Радиатор топтомун компьютериңиздин корпусуна орнотуңуз. Орнотуунун кеңири таралган жерлерине корпустун үстүнкү же алдыңкы бөлүгү кирет. Аны тиешелүү бурамалар менен бекитиңиз.
3. Насостун 3-пиндүү кубат кабелин энелик платадагы CPU_FAN же AIO_PUMP колонкасына туташтырыңыз.
4. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables to the CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN headers on your motherboard. If using a fan splitter (not included), connect both fans to the splitter and then to a single motherboard header.
5. Ensure all cables are neatly routed and secured to prevent interference with other components or airflow.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

Once installed, the FROSTFLOW X 240 operates automatically. The PWM fans adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, ensuring efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads.

• Баштапкы жүктөө: Upon first power-on, the pump and fans will start. It is normal to hear some gurgling sounds initially as air bubbles are purged from the loop. This should subside within a few minutes of operation.
• Температура мониторинги: Use motherboard monitoring software (e.g., ASUS AI Suite, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte SIV) to monitor CPU temperatures and fan/pump speeds. Ensure temperatures remain within safe operating limits, especially under load.
• LED башкаруу: The white LED on the pump head is static and does not require software control.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your AIO cooler.

• Чаңды тазалоо: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more often in dusty environments) use compressed air to clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Түтүктөрдү текшерүү: Visually inspect the tubing for any kinks, tears, or signs of leakage. While AIOs are sealed, regular checks are good practice.
• Термикалык паста: Re-applying thermal paste is generally not required unless the cooler is removed from the CPU. If re-installation occurs, clean off old paste and apply new paste.
