FAQs

What is the difference between an AIO cooler and an air cooler?

An AIO (All-In-One) cooler uses a closed-loop liquid system with a pump, radiator, and fans to transfer heat away from the CPU. An air cooler uses a heatsink and fan directly mounted on the CPU.

How often should I clean the Kolink Umbra Void AIO?

It's recommended to clean dust from the radiator and fans every 3-6 months, depending on your environment, to maintain optimal performance.

Does the lighting need a separate connection?

Yes, the ARGB lighting on the fans and pump requires connection to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard or a separate ARGB controller.

What is the MTTF of the fans and pump?

Both the fans and the pump have a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of 40,000 hours, indicating a long expected lifespan under typical operating conditions.

Can I replace the fans on the radiator with different ones?

Yes, you can replace the included fans with other standard 120mm PWM fans if desired, as long as they fit the radiator mounting points.

Is the thermal paste pre-applied?

The product information does not specify if thermal paste is pre-applied. It is generally recommended to use the provided thermal paste or a high-quality aftermarket paste for optimal performance.

What is the maximum air pressure the fans can generate?

The fans can generate a maximum air pressure of 3.9 mmH2O, which is important for pushing air through the radiator fins effectively.

Troubleshooting

Pump is not spinning or making noise.

Ensure the pump's 3-pin connector is securely plugged into the motherboard's designated pump header. Verify that the motherboard BIOS is not set to disable the header.

Fans are not spinning.

Check that the fan cables are properly connected to the motherboard's CPU fan header or a fan controller. Ensure PWM settings in the BIOS are configured correctly.

CPU temperature is too high.

Verify that the water block is making firm, even contact with the CPU. Reapply thermal paste if necessary. Ensure the radiator and fans are clean and unobstructed. Confirm fan and pump are running at adequate speeds.

ARGB lighting is not working or incorrect.

Check that the ARGB cables are correctly connected to a compatible motherboard ARGB header or controller. Ensure the correct software for controlling ARGB is installed and configured.

System displays 'CPU Fan Error' on boot.

This usually means the CPU fan header is not detecting a fan. Ensure the fans are plugged into the CPU fan header, or adjust the fan error settings in the BIOS.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cooling performance for demanding CPUs.
  • Striking visual aesthetics with ARGB lighting and mirror effect.
  • Wide compatibility with both Intel and AMD platforms.
  • Durable components with long Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) ratings for fans and pump.
  • PWM fans allow for dynamic speed control based on temperature.

Cons

  • Installation can be more complex than traditional air coolers.
  • Requires sufficient space in the PC case for the radiator and fans.
  • Potential for leaks (though rare with proper installation).
  • Pump and fan noise can increase under heavy load.
  • Requires specific motherboard headers for ARGB and fan connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This AIO cooler is compatible with a wide array of modern CPU sockets, including:

  • Intel: LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 2066, LGA 2011-v3, LGA 2011, LGA 1366.
  • AMD: AM5, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, FM2+, FM2, FM1.

Setup:

  1. Prepare Motherboard: Identify the correct CPU socket mounting bracket for your motherboard (Intel or AMD).
  2. Mount Brackets: Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the motherboard.
  3. Apply Thermal Paste: Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU.
  4. Attach Water Block: Secure the water block onto the CPU, ensuring even pressure.
  5. Mount Radiator: Install the radiator in a suitable location within your PC case (typically top or front), attaching the fans to it.
  6. Connect Cables: Connect the pump to the motherboard's 3-pin pump header and the fans to CPU fan headers or a fan controller. Connect the ARGB cables to compatible motherboard headers or controllers.

Care:

  • Dust Removal: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. Use a soft brush for stubborn dust.
  • Cable Check: Ensure all cable connections remain secure, especially after moving the PC.
  • Liquid Level: While AIOs are sealed, monitor for any signs of evaporation or leaks, though this is rare. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty if issues arise.
  • Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the pump housing and fans with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
