Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure your PC case is compatible with a 360mm radiator. Gather the necessary tools: a screwdriver, and possibly thermal paste (though it is pre-applied).
- Mounting: Install the CPU bracket onto the pump. Attach the radiator to the case, and secure the fans. Mount the pump onto your CPU, ensuring proper contact and pressure. Follow the included installation guide for your specific CPU socket.
- Connections: Connect the fan and pump cables to your motherboard's fan headers. Connect the ARGB cables for lighting control. It's recommended to consult your motherboard manual for fan header placement.
Compatibility
The DeepCool LT360 supports a wide range of CPU sockets:
- Intel: LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1200, 1700
- AMD: AM4, AM5, sTR4, sTRX4
Ensure your motherboard and case are compatible before purchase. Check the product specifications for any updates on socket compatibility.
Care
- Dusting: Regularly clean the radiator fans and radiator fins with compressed air to prevent dust buildup, which can reduce cooling efficiency.
- Coolant: The LT360 is a sealed unit, so no coolant maintenance is required.
- Monitoring: Monitor CPU temperatures using monitoring software to ensure optimal performance. If temperatures rise unexpectedly, check for fan obstructions or potential pump issues.
