3. Specifiche

4. Guida all'installazione

Before you begin, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific CPU socket information.

4.1. Preparare il socket della CPU

1. Identifica il tipo di socket della tua CPU (Intel LGA o AMD AM).
2. Attach the appropriate backplate to the rear of your motherboard if required for your socket.
3. Install the correct mounting standoffs onto the motherboard around the CPU socket.

4.2. Installare il radiatore e le ventole

1. Determina la posizione di montaggio ottimale per il radiatore da 360 mm nel case del tuo PC (ad esempio, in alto, davanti).
2. Fissare il radiatore al case utilizzando le viti in dotazione. Assicurarsi che ci sia un flusso d'aria adeguato.
3. The fans are pre-installed on the radiator. If not, attach them to the radiator, ensuring the airflow direction is correct for your case's cooling strategy.

4.3. Montare la testa della pompa

1. Apply a thin, even layer of the included thermal paste onto the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
2. Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting standoffs.
3. Secure the pump head with the appropriate thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.4. Collegare i cavi

1. Potenza della pompa: Connect the pump's 4-pin connector to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
2. Potenza del ventilatore: Connect the radiator fans' 4-pin PWM connectors to available fan headers on your motherboard or to the included Mini ARGB LED Controller.
3. Illuminazione ARGB: Connect the 5V-3pin ARGB connectors from the fans and pump to the Mini ARGB LED Controller. Then, connect the controller's 5V-3pin ARGB cable to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard (if you wish to control lighting via motherboard software) or use the controller's built-in modes. Power the controller via its SATA power connector from your PSU.
4. LCD Module: Connect the 7-inch magnetic LCD module to an available USB Type-C port on your motherboard or directly to your GPU (if it has a Type-C output) using the provided Type-C cable.

4.5. Software Installation for LCD Module

For the 7-inch LCD module to function as a secondary monitor (duplicate or extend mode), a software driver is required. Please visit the official XIGMATEK website or the product page to download the latest display software/driver for Windows 10 or 11. Follow the on-screen instructions for installation.

5. Funzionamento

5.1. Accensione iniziale

After completing the installation and software setup, power on your PC. The fans and pump should start operating, and the ARGB lighting should illuminate. The 7-inch LCD module should display content once the necessary drivers are installed and configured.

5.2. LCD Module Functionality

• Modalità di visualizzazione: The 7-inch LCD module supports display duplication (mirroring your main display) or extension mode (acting as a secondary monitor) for Windows 10 and 11. These settings can be configured through your operating system's display settings.
• Magnetic Removable Design: The LCD module is magnetically attached to the pump head, allowing for easy removal and rotation to achieve your desired viewangolo di ing.

5.3. Controllo dell'illuminazione ARGB

The ARGB lighting for the fans and pump can be controlled in two ways:

• Software della scheda madre: If connected to a compatible 5V-3pin ARGB header on your motherboard, you can use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to synchronize and customize lighting effects.
• Mini ARGB LED Controller: The included controller provides various pre-set lighting modes and colors. Use the buttons on the controller to cycle through effects, adjust brightness, and change speed.

5.4. Controllo della velocità della ventola e della pompa

The fan and pump speeds are controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). You can manage these speeds through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated fan control software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. Adjusting these settings can optimize cooling performance and noise levels.

6. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare contribuisce a garantire la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo refrigeratore a liquido.

• Pulizia della polvere: Pulire periodicamente le alette del radiatore e le pale della ventola per evitare l'accumulo di polvere, che può ostacolare il flusso d'aria e ridurre l'efficienza del raffreddamento. Utilizzare aria compressa o una spazzola morbida.
• Ispezione di tubi e raccordi: Visually inspect the tubes and connections for any signs of leaks, kinks, or damage. Address any issues promptly.
• Pasta termica: While not frequently required, if you ever remove the pump head from the CPU, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste and apply a fresh layer before reinstallation.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your XIGMATEK Connect Pro 360, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Nessuna alimentazione per ventole/pompa:
  • Check all power connections (4-pin pump, 4-pin fans, SATA for ARGB controller) to ensure they are securely plugged into the motherboard and power supply.
  • Verify that the CPU_FAN/AIO_PUMP header is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS.
• Nessuna illuminazione ARGB:
  • Ensure the 5V-3pin ARGB connectors are correctly attached to the ARGB controller or motherboard header.
  • Confirm the ARGB controller is receiving SATA power.
  • Se si utilizza il software della scheda madre, assicurarsi che sia installato e configurato correttamente.
• LCD Module Not Displaying:
  • Check the Type-C cable connection to both the LCD module and your PC/GPU.
  • Ensure the display software/driver is correctly installed and updated.
  • Verify display settings in Windows (Display Settings) to ensure the secondary monitor is detected and configured for duplication or extension.
  • Try a different USB Type-C port.
• Scarse prestazioni di raffreddamento:
  • Ensure the pump head is securely mounted to the CPU with adequate thermal paste.
  • Check for dust buildup on the radiator and fans, and clean if necessary.
  • Verify that fans are spinning at appropriate speeds (check BIOS/software).
  • Assicurare un corretto flusso d'aria all'interno del case del PC.

8. Suggerimenti per l'utente

Maximize your experience with the Connect Pro 360 with these helpful tips:

• Optimize Fan Curves: Adjust fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS or software to balance cooling performance and noise levels according to your usage (e.g., quiet for browsing, performance for gaming).
• Personalizza il display LCD: Experiment with different content on the 7-inch LCD screen. It can display system monitoring data, custom images, GIFs, or even act as a small secondary screen for chat applications or media controls.
• Sincronizzazione ARGB: If your motherboard supports ARGB synchronization, connect all ARGB components (fans, pump, other case lighting) to the motherboard's ARGB headers to create a unified lighting theme.
• Gestione dei cavi: Take time to manage the cables neatly. This not only improves aesthetics but also enhances airflow within your case, contributing to better cooling.
