    a. Attach the correct Intel backplate (if required for your socket) to the rear of the motherboard.
    b. Install the appropriate Intel mounting standoffs onto the motherboard.
    c. Place the pump/cold plate onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes.
    d. Secure the pump/cold plate with the Intel mounting screws.
  2. Pou Sokèt AMD (AM5, AM4):
    a. Ensure the original AMD backplate is in place on the motherboard.
    b. Install the appropriate AMD mounting standoffs onto the motherboard.
    c. Place the pump/cold plate onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes.
    d. Secure the pump/cold plate with the AMD mounting screws.
  3. The pump head is magnetically rotatable. Adjust its orientation after installation to ensure the LCD display is upright and readable.

5.4 Konekte Cables

  1. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables from the radiator fans to your motherboard's CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN headers.
  2. Connect the 4-pin PWM pump cable to your motherboard's AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header.
  3. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable from the fans and pump to your motherboard's +5V ARGB header.
  4. Connect the USB cable from the pump head to an available internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This powers the LCD screen and enables software control.

    - Ensure the motherboard headers are correctly configured in BIOS/UEFI.
  • Ekran LCD a pa fonksyone:
    - Verify the internal USB 2.0 cable from the pump head is securely connected to the motherboard.
    - Ensure the TRCC software is installed and running correctly.
    - Check if the USB header is enabled in BIOS/UEFI.
  • Tanperati CPU ki wo:
    - Confirm the cold plate is making proper contact with the CPU. Re-seat if necessary, ensuring even pressure.
    - Check if thermal paste was applied correctly.
    - Ensure fans are spinning and radiator fins are clear of dust.
    - Verify pump is running (listen for a faint hum or check software monitoring).
  • Pwoblèm ekleraj RGB:
    - Ensure the 3-pin ARGB cable is connected to a +5V ARGB header, not a +12V RGB header (which can damage the LEDs).
    - Use the TRCC software or your motherboard's RGB software to control the lighting.
