5. Postavljanje i instalacija

Before beginning installation, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Handle components with care to avoid damage.

5.1. Pripremite matičnu ploču

  1. Remove any existing CPU cooler and clean off old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol.
  2. For Intel Sockets: Attach the universal backplate to the rear of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket. Secure it with the appropriate standoffs from the front side.
  3. For AMD Sockets: Retain the original AMD motherboard backplate. Remove the plastic retention clips from the front of the motherboard.

5.2. Nanesite termalnu pastu

Nanesite malu količinu termalne paste, veličine zrna graška, na sredinu integriranog raspršivača topline (IHS) CPU-a. Nemojte je nanositi ručno; pritisak hladnjaka će je ravnomjerno rasporediti.

5.3. Instalirajte nosače za montažu

  1. Attach the correct Intel or AMD mounting brackets to the base of the cooler using the provided screws.
  2. Carefully place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the screws on the mounting brackets with the standoffs (Intel) or the original backplate (AMD).
  3. Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

5.4. Attach the Fan

  1. Using the included fan clips, secure the 120mm ARGB PWM fan to the heatsink. Ensure the fan is oriented to blow air through the heatsink towards the rear or top of your PC case for optimal airflow.
  2. Spojite 4-pinski PWM kabel ventilatora na CPU_FAN priključak na matičnoj ploči.
  3. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard. Ensure it is a 5V header, not a 12V RGB header, to prevent damage.

6. Uputstvo za upotrebu

6.1. Fan Control (PWM)

The 120mm fan utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.

6.2. ARGB Lighting Customization

The cooler features Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, which can be synchronized with your motherboard's RGB software. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Supported software includes:

  • ASUS Aura sinhronizacija
  • MSI Mystic Light Sync
  • GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0
  • ASRock Polychrome Sync

Use your motherboard's software to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization with other ARGB components in your system.

7. Održavanje

Redovno održavanje pomaže u osiguravanju dugotrajnosti i optimalnih performansi vašeg CPU hladnjaka.

  • Uklanjanje prašine: Periodically clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the fan is not spinning during cleaning.
  • Inspekcija ventilatora: Check the fan for any obstructions or unusual noises. If the fan is removable, you may detach it for more thorough cleaning.
  • Termalna pasta: While not frequently required, if you remove the cooler for any reason, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste before reinstallation.

8. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your darkFlash Z4Pro Mist CPU Cooler, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemMogući uzrokRješenje
Visoke temperature CPU-aImproper cooler installation, insufficient thermal paste, poor airflow in case, fan not spinning.Re-seat the cooler ensuring even pressure. Verify thermal paste application. Check fan connections and rotation. Improve case airflow.
Ventilator se ne okrećeKabl ventilatora isključen, neispravan konektor ventilatora, kvar ventilatora.Ensure 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to the CPU_FAN header. Test fan on another header if available. Contact support if fan is faulty.
ARGB osvjetljenje ne radiARGB cable disconnected, incorrect ARGB header (e.g., 12V instead of 5V), software issue.Verify 3-pin ARGB cable is connected to a 5V Addressable RGB header. Check motherboard software settings. Ensure motherboard ARGB header is enabled in BIOS.
Prekomjerna bukaLoose fan, dust buildup, fan bearing issue.Check fan clips for secure attachment. Clean fan and heatsink. If noise persists, contact support.
