3. Postavljanje i instalacija

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 Pripremite svoj sistem

  1. Iskljuciti: Potpuno isključite računar i isključite kabl za napajanje iz zidne utičnice.
  2. Otvoreni slučaj: 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 Instalirajte nosač za montažu

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

Intel and AMD CPU mounting brackets

  • 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 Montirajte radijator i ventilatore

  1. Pričvršćivanje ventilatora na radijator: 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. Montaža radijatora: 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. Nanesite termalnu pastu: 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. Poziciona pumpa: Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting standoffs or clips.
  3. Sigurna pumpa: Tighten the retention screws in a diagonal pattern until the pump head is firmly seated. Do not overtighten.

  • Snaga pumpe: Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin connector to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
  • 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 rasvjeta: 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.)
  • Upravljanje kablovima: Uredno usmjerite kablove kako biste osigurali pravilan protok zraka i čistu konstrukciju.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

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 Lighting Synchronization: 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.
  • Visokoučinkovita pumpa: The advanced pump operates at up to 4,000 RPM, ensuring efficient and quiet circulation of the coolant for superior heat dissipation.

5. Održavanje

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your darkFlash DNA240A AIO CPU Liquid Cooler.

  • Uklanjanje prašine: Povremeno čistite prašinu sa rebara hladnjaka i lopatica ventilatora komprimiranim zrakom ili mekom četkom. Nakupljanje prašine može ometati protok zraka i smanjiti efikasnost hlađenja.
  • Pregledajte cijevi: Visually inspect the liquid tubes for any signs of kinks, cracks, or leaks. While the high polymer rubber hose is designed for durability, regular checks are recommended.
  • Provjerite veze: Ensure all power and ARGB cables remain securely connected to the motherboard and components.
  • Bez dopunjavanja rashladne tečnosti: The AIO cooler is a sealed unit and does not require coolant refills or maintenance. Do not attempt to open the unit.
