FAQs

How do I control the ARGB lighting?

If your motherboard supports ARGB, you can use its software (e.g., Mystic Light Sync). Otherwise, use the included wire controller.

What kind of thermal paste should I use?

The cooler often comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If you need to reapply, use a high-quality thermal paste suitable for your CPU.

Is the fan replaceable?

Yes, the fan is replaceable. Make sure to get a 120mm fan with ARGB support for compatibility.

How often should I clean the cooler?

Clean the cooler every few months to maintain optimal performance. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on your environment.

What if the cooler doesn't fit in my case?

Check the cooler's dimensions against your case's specifications before purchasing. If it doesn't fit, you may need to choose a different cooler or case.

What is the warranty period?

Check the product packaging or manufacturer's website for warranty details.

What if I lose the wire controller?

You may be able to purchase a replacement or use the motherboard's ARGB control software if supported.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning.

Check the power connection to the fan and ensure it's properly connected to the motherboard or power supply. Check the controller if using one.

RGB lighting not working.

Verify that the ARGB cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header or the controller. Ensure that the correct software is installed and configured for lighting control if applicable.
