Specifiche

Configurazione e installazione

Follow these steps carefully to install your Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 White V3 Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning.

Preparazione generale

Unpack all components and familiarize yourself with the parts. Identify the appropriate mounting hardware for your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD).

Installazione dell'Intel LGA1700

1. Adjust Backplate: For LGA1700, adjust the backplate to use the outer holes. For LGA115X/1200, use the inner holes.

2. Installare la piastra posteriore: Install the Intel backplate from the back side of the motherboard.
3. Installare i distanziatori: Install the blue standoffs onto the screws from the front side of the motherboard.
4. Attach Water Block Bracket: Align the arrow on the Intel bracket to the water block and rotate to lock it in place.
5. Rimuovere l'adesivo protettivo: Carefully remove the protective sticker from the copper base of the water block.
6. Applicare il composto termico: Apply a pea-sized amount of thermal compound onto the CPU Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
7. Blocco d'acqua di montaggio: Align the mounting holes on the bracket to the standoffs and install the water block onto the CPU. Secure the metal bracket with the four nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern to ensure even pressure.

Installazione AMD AM5/AM4

1. Attach Water Block Bracket: Align the arrow on the AMD bracket to the water block and rotate to lock it in place.
2. Rimuovere l'adesivo protettivo: Carefully remove the protective sticker from the copper base of the water block.
3. Applicare il composto termico: Apply a pea-sized amount of thermal compound onto the CPU Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
4. Blocco d'acqua di montaggio: Use the buckles on the metal bracket to secure the water block onto the CPU. Tighten the screws on both sides to apply mounting pressure evenly.

Fan and ARGB Connections

1. Collegare i cavi PWM della ventola: Connect the fan PWM cables to the included fan splitter cable. This allows all fans to be controlled by a single motherboard header.
2. Connect Fan ARGB Cables: Collegare i cavi ARGB della ventola per sincronizzare il segnale di illuminazione.
3. Connect ARGB Lighting Cable: Connect the ARGB lighting cable to a 3-pin 5V ARGB socket on your motherboard. This enables motherboard software control of the lighting effects.
4. Connect Pump Power Cable: Collegare il cavo di alimentazione della pompa alla presa CPU_OPT o AIO PUMP sulla scheda madre.

Installazione del radiatore

1. Installare il radiatore: Install the radiator onto your case using the provided short radiator screws. Ensure proper alignment with the mounting holes.
2. Adjust Fan Exhaust: Adjust the fan exhaust side according to your case's airflow design for optimal cooling performance.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Once installed, the Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 White V3 Liquid CPU Cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's settings. The fans and pump are controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and ARGB (Addressable RGB) signals from your motherboard.

• Controllo della velocità della ventola: The TL-C12W-S V2 fans are equipped with PWM functionality, allowing them to automatically adjust their speed based on CPU temperature. This provides optimal airflow while minimizing noise.
• Controllo dell'illuminazione ARGB: The fan and water-cooling header ARGB lighting can be synchronized with your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header. Use your motherboard's lighting control software to customize the 16 million color soft light effects.

Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare contribuisce a garantire la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del dissipatore liquido per CPU.

• Pulizia della polvere: Pulire periodicamente le alette del radiatore e le pale della ventola dalla polvere utilizzando aria compressa. Assicurarsi che le ventole non siano in funzione durante la pulizia per evitare danni.
• Ispezionare i tubi: Occasionally check the water tubes for any signs of leaks, kinks, or damage. The protective mesh water pipes are designed for durability and low evaporation.
• Pasta termica: While not frequently required, if you ever remove the water block, it is recommended to clean off old thermal paste and apply new thermal compound before reinstallation.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter issues with your liquid CPU cooler, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Nessuna alimentazione/Le ventole non girano: Ensure all power cables (PWM for fans, pump power) are securely connected to the correct headers on the motherboard. Check your motherboard's BIOS settings to confirm fan and pump headers are enabled and configured correctly.
• Nessuna illuminazione ARGB: Verify the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header. Check your motherboard's lighting software for control and ensure it is up to date.
• Temperature elevate della CPU: Double-check that the water block is securely mounted to the CPU with even pressure. Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly. Verify that the fans are spinning and oriented to push air through the radiator effectively. Check for any obstructions to airflow within your case.
• Rumori insoliti: If you hear gurgling or grinding noises, it might indicate air bubbles in the loop. Gently tilt your PC case in different directions while the system is running to help dislodge air bubbles. Ensure the pump is running at an adequate speed.
