FAQs

Does this cooler come with thermal paste?

Yes, thermal paste is pre-applied to the cold plate to facilitate a cleaner, faster installation.

Which lighting software is supported?

It is compatible with Asus AURA, Gigabyte Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, Razer Chroma, and ASRock Polychrome.

Can I manually control the fan speed?

Yes, you can twist the pump face to switch the unit into PWM mode for full manual control via your BIOS or motherboard software.

Is the radiator material aluminum or copper?

The radiator is constructed from aluminum for efficient heat dissipation, while the base plate is solid copper for better heat transfer from the CPU.

What is the maximum fan speed?

The fans can reach a maximum speed of 1700 RPM.

Does it support the latest Intel LGA 1700 or AMD AM5 sockets?

Yes, the mounting hardware included supports the modern Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 platforms.

Troubleshooting

Pump noise or rattling sound

Check for trapped air bubbles in the pump head by gently tilting the chassis to allow air to rise into the radiator.

ARGB lighting not syncing with motherboard

Ensure the 3-pin ARGB header is firmly connected and check your motherboard's software to ensure the port is active.

High CPU temperatures

Verify that the pump face is set to PWM mode to ensure it is running at max speed, and ensure the radiator fans are receiving power.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean cable management via radiator-integrated hub
  • Excellent silent performance profile
  • Easy switching between Auto and manual PWM control
  • Compatible with major motherboard ARGB lighting ecosystems
  • Pre-applied thermal paste reduces setup time

Cons

  • Large 280mm radiator requires specific case support
  • Requires enough clearance in the top or front panel
  • ARGB control depends on motherboard or secondary controller software

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation begins by selecting the appropriate mounting bracket for your processor socket. Because the unit features pre-applied thermal paste, you can mount the block directly to the CPU after securing the backplate. The ARGB PWM hub on the radiator is the focal point of the installation; plug your fan and LED cables here to reduce cord clutter inside your case. Regarding care, the braided sleeves are durable, but ensure they are not kinked during installation to maintain optimal flow. Keep the radiator fins free of dust using compressed air every 6 to 12 months to maintain maximum heat dissipation performance.
