Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The Antec Skeleton 360 ARGB is designed for broad compatibility, supporting Intel sockets LGA 115X, 1200, 1700, 1851, and 20XX, as well as AMD sockets AM3, AM4, and AM5. Ensure your PC case has adequate mounting space for a 360mm radiator (typically 3x 120mm fan mounts, often on the top or front of the case).
Setup:
- Mount the radiator and fans in your desired case location.
- Apply thermal paste to the CPU.
- Attach the mounting bracket to the motherboard according to the CPU socket type.
- Secure the pump block onto the CPU.
- Connect the pump and fan cables to the appropriate motherboard headers (CPU_FAN, AIO_PUMP, or SYS_FAN) and the ARGB cables to a 3-pin ARGB header.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Regularly clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the fins.
- Periodically check that all fan and pump connections are secure.
- Ensure the pump's 40,000-hour lifespan is considered for long-term system planning.
