Troubleshooting

CPU temperature is too high.

Ensure the cooler is mounted correctly with even pressure. Verify thermal paste application. Check if fan cables are properly connected and fans are spinning. Clean dust from heatsink and fans. Ensure the cooler is compatible with your CPU's TDP.

Fans are not spinning.

Check that the fan cables are securely connected to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header. Ensure the motherboard BIOS is set to allow fan operation or is not set to 0 RPM mode. Test fans on another header or with a separate power source if possible.

Cooler is making unusual noise.

Inspect fans for any obstructions. Ensure fan screws are tight. If noise persists, a fan bearing might be failing; contact support if within warranty.

RAM or VRM components are blocked.

Adjust the height of the front fan upwards to clear taller RAM modules or VRM heatsinks. If clearance is still an issue, consider alternative fan placement or a different cooler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cooling performance for demanding CPUs and overclocking.
  • Remarkably quiet operation even at high fan speeds.
  • High compatibility with RAM and VRM coolers due to its design.
  • Supports liquid metal thermal grease for maximum thermal efficiency.
  • Premium aesthetic with a two-tone silver and black finish.
  • Intuitive and easy installation process.

Cons

  • Large physical size may pose clearance issues in smaller PC cases.
  • Requires careful checking of motherboard component clearance (RAM, VRM heatsinks).
  • Dual-fan setup consumes two fan headers on the motherboard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Supported Sockets: LGA 1700, LGA 1851, LGA 1200, LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, AM5, AM4.
  • RAM Clearance: While the compact offset design enhances compatibility, it's recommended to check RAM module height, especially in the front fan's lowest position. The front fan's height can be adjusted to accommodate taller RAM modules.
  • Case Clearance: Ensure your PC case has sufficient width to accommodate the cooler's dimensions (124mm width, 139mm depth, 155mm height).

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Clean your CPU and the cooler's base plate. Apply thermal paste (or liquid metal if compatible) to the CPU.
  2. Mounting Bracket: Install the appropriate mounting bracket for your CPU socket onto the motherboard.
  3. Cooler Installation: Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting bracket. Secure it using the provided screws.
  4. Fan Attachment: Attach the two Pure Wings 3 fans to the heatsink using the clips.
  5. Cable Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables to the CPU_FAN headers on your motherboard.

Care:

  • Periodically check and clean the heatsink fins and fan blades to remove dust buildup, which can impede cooling performance. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
  • Ensure fan blades spin freely and are not obstructed.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning; a dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended for external surfaces.
