Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This cooler supports a broad range of modern CPU sockets, including Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 1150, and LGA 1155, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4. Always verify motherboard compatibility and RAM clearance, as the large heatsink may obstruct taller RAM modules on certain motherboards.
Installation:
- Ensure your motherboard is installed in the PC case.
- Apply thermal paste (included or high-quality aftermarket) to the CPU.
- Mount the appropriate brackets to the motherboard using the provided screws.
- Carefully align the heatsink over the CPU and secure it using the mounting clips.
- Attach the two 120mm fans to the heatsink using the provided clips.
- Connect the fan PWM cables to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
- Connect the ARGB cables to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or an external controller.
Care: Periodically clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Avoid using liquids directly on the cooler components. Ensure fans are spinning freely and connections remain secure.
