4. Gid Enstalasyon

Anvan w kòmanse

• Ensure your computer system is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
• Gather all included mounting accessories and tools (e.g., screwdriver).
• Refer to your motherboard's manual to identify your CPU socket type and ensure adequate clearance for the cooler.

Etap-pa-etap Enstalasyon

1. Prepare the CPU Socket: Identify your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD) and select the appropriate mounting brackets and backplate from the included accessories. Follow the specific instructions in the physical manual for your socket type to attach the backplate and standoffs to the motherboard.
2. Aplike konpoze tèmik: The Spartan 5 MAX ARGB comes with pre-applied Pactum PT-3 thermal compound on its base. Ensure the protective film is removed before installation. If you are reapplying thermal compound, clean the CPU surface and cooler base thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before applying a new, thin, and even layer of high-quality thermal paste.
3. Attach Mounting Brackets to Cooler: Secure the correct mounting arms or clips to the cooler base according to the instructions provided in the physical manual for your specific CPU socket.
4. Mete glasyè a an pozisyon: Carefully align the cooler with the CPU and the mounting holes or standoffs on the motherboard. Ensure the cooler is oriented correctly within your PC case for optimal airflow.
5. Fikse glasyè a: Gently press down on the cooler to make firm contact with the CPU. Secure the cooler using the provided screws or retention clips. If using screws, tighten them in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) to ensure even pressure distribution. Do not overtighten.
6. Konekte Kab Vantilatè yo: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cable from the cooler to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. Connect the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or a dedicated ARGB controller. Note: Do not connect to a 4-pin 12V RGB header, as this can damage the ARGB LEDs.
7. Jesyon kab: Route all cables neatly to prevent them from interfering with the fan blades or obstructing airflow within your PC case.

5. Operation and ARGB Control

Operasyon Fan

The Fluctus 120 PWM ARGB fan automatically adjusts its rotational speed based on your CPU's temperature. This is controlled by the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal from your motherboard's CPU_FAN header. This intelligent control ensures optimal cooling performance during high loads and quiet operation during low loads.

Kontwòl ekleraj ARGB

The integrated Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting of the Spartan 5 MAX ARGB fan offers extensive customization. To control the lighting effects, colors, and synchronization, you will typically use your motherboard's ARGB software. Common motherboard ARGB software includes:

• ASUS Aura Sync
• Senkronizasyon limyè MSI Mystic
• GIGABYTE RGB Fusion
• ASRock Polychrome Sync

If your motherboard does not have an ARGB header or compatible software, you may need a separate ARGB controller (not included) to manage the lighting effects. Refer to your motherboard's manual or the ARGB controller's instructions for detailed steps on customizing your lighting.

6. Antretyen ak Swen

Netwaye glasyè a

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal cooling performance and extends the lifespan of your cooler:

• Retire pousyè: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments) clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades. Use compressed air to blow dust out of the fins, or a soft brush to gently remove it. When using compressed air, hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly, which can damage the bearings.
• Fan Removal (for thorough cleaning): The fan can be carefully detached from the heatsink for more thorough cleaning. Ensure it is securely reattached after cleaning.
• Konpoze tèmik: It is generally not necessary to reapply thermal compound unless the cooler is removed from the CPU. If you do remove it, clean off the old thermal compound from both the CPU and cooler base using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Apply new thermal compound before reinstallation.

Swen Jeneral

• Ensure proper airflow within your PC case by maintaining clean dust filters and organized cables. This maximizes cooling efficiency and reduces overall dust buildup.
• Avoid touching the heatsink fins directly as they can be sharp.
