3. Quraşdırma və Quraşdırma

This section provides general guidelines for installing your darkFlash DNA240A AIO CPU Liquid Cooler. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and PC case. Refer to your motherboard and case manuals for detailed instructions.

3.1 Prepare Your System

  1. Söndürmək: Shut down your computer completely and disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.
  2. Açıq İş: Open your PC case to access the motherboard and CPU area.
  3. Remove Old Cooler: If an existing CPU cooler is installed, carefully remove it and clean any old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol.

3.2 Montaj braketini quraşdırın

Select the appropriate mounting bracket for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD).

  • For Intel Sockets (LGA 1200/115X/1700/1851): Attach the Intel backplate to the rear of your motherboard, aligning the holes. Secure the standoffs through the motherboard from the front.
  • For AMD Sockets (AM4/AM5/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2): Use the existing AMD backplate (if present) or install the provided AMD backplate. Secure the AMD mounting clips to the pump head, then attach the pump to the CPU socket retention module.

3.3 Radiator və Ventilyatorların quraşdırılması

  1. Ventilyatorları radiatora qoşun: Secure the two 120mm PWM ARGB fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's ventilation (typically exhausting air out of the case).
  2. Radiatorun quraşdırılması: Install the radiator assembly into your PC case. Common mounting locations include the top, front, or rear of the case, depending on available space and radiator size (240mm). Use the longer radiator mounting screws to secure it.

3.4 Install Pump Head

  1. Termal pasta tətbiq edin: If the thermal paste is not pre-applied to the cold plate, apply a small pea-sized amount to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
  2. Pompanın mövqeyi: Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting standoffs or clips.
  3. Təhlükəsiz nasos: Tighten the retention screws in a diagonal pattern until the pump head is firmly seated. Do not overtighten.

  • Nasos Gücü: Pompanın 3-pin və ya 4-pin konnektorunu anakartınızdakı CPU_FAN və ya AIO_PUMP başlığına qoşun.
  • Fan Power (PWM): Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM connector to an available fan header on your motherboard (e.g., SYS_FAN or CPU_OPT).
  • ARGB İşıqlandırma: Connect the 5V 3-pin ARGB connector to a compatible 5V addressable RGB header on your motherboard. (Note: Do NOT connect to a 12V RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.)
  • Kabel İdarəetmə: Route cables neatly to ensure proper airflow and a clean build.

4. Əməliyyat Təlimatları

Once installed, the darkFlash DNA240A AIO CPU Liquid Cooler operates automatically to maintain optimal CPU temperatures.

  • Automatic Fan Control (PWM): The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans automatically adjust their speed based on the CPU temperature, providing an optimal balance between cooling performance and noise levels. This is managed by your motherboard's fan control settings, which can often be configured in the BIOS/UEFI or through motherboard software.
  • ARGB İşıqlandırma Sinxronizasiyası: The ARGB fans and pump head feature customizable lighting effects. These can be synchronized with most addressable RGB motherboards, including those supporting Aura Sync, Mystic Light, and Polychrome Sync. Use your motherboard's RGB software to control lighting modes, colors, and brightness.
  • Yüksək Performanslı Nasos: The advanced pump operates at up to 4,000 RPM, ensuring efficient and quiet circulation of the coolant for superior heat dissipation.
