Подешавање и инсталација

Proper installation is crucial for optimal cooling performance. Please follow these steps carefully. Refer to the included physical manual for detailed diagrams.

  1. Припремите свој систем:
    • Искључите рачунар и искључите све каблове.
    • Open your PC case to access the motherboard and CPU area.
    • Remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface thoroughly to remove old thermal paste.
  2. Install the Backplate (if required):
    • Identify the correct backplate for your CPU socket (AMD AM5/AM4 or Intel LGA 1851/1700).
    • Position the backplate behind the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU mounting holes.
  3. Attach Mounting Stand-offs:
    • Screw the appropriate stand-offs into the backplate or directly into the motherboard's CPU socket holes, depending on your platform. Ensure they are finger-tight.

  4. Нанесите термалну пасту:
    • Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the included CryoFuze thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the pump will distribute it evenly.

  5. Mount the Pump/Cold Plate:
    • Carefully align the pump's cold plate with the CPU and the mounting holes.
    • Place the pump onto the stand-offs and secure it with the provided thumb screws or nuts. Tighten in a diagonal pattern until snug, ensuring even pressure. Avoid overtightening.

  6. Инсталирајте радијатор и вентилаторе:
    • Mount the 120mm fan(s) to the radiator using the long screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case (typically intake or exhaust).
    • Secure the radiator to an available 120mm fan mount in your PC case (e.g., rear, top, or front).

  7. Повежите каблове:
    • Connect the pump's power cable to an available CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
    • Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM cable to a CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN header on your motherboard.
    • If applicable, connect any RGB/lighting cables to the appropriate motherboard header or controller.
  8. Коначна провера:
    • Double-check all connections and ensure no cables are obstructing fan blades.
    • If you installed the cooler with the case lying down, stand the PC upright and allow 15-20 minutes for the cooling fluid to settle before powering on.

Упутство за употребу

Once installed, the MasterLiquid 120L Core operates automatically, controlled by your motherboard's fan and pump headers.

  • Почетно укључивање: Upon first boot, the pump and fan will begin operating. Monitor your CPU temperatures using motherboard software or third-party utilities to ensure proper function.
  • Контрола брзине вентилатора: The SickleFlow 120 fan utilizes PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for dynamic speed control. This allows your motherboard to adjust fan speed (650-1750 RPM) based on CPU temperature, optimizing for either quiet operation or maximum cooling performance.
  • Рад пумпе: The Gen S Dual Chamber Pump operates continuously to circulate coolant. Ensure the pump is always receiving power.
  • Нивои буке: The cooler is designed for quiet operation, with a typical noise level of 12 dB. Fan noise will increase with higher RPMs under load.

Одржавање

The MasterLiquid 120L Core is a closed-loop system and requires minimal maintenance.

  • Чишћење прашине: Периодично чистите прашину са ребара хладњака и лопатица вентилатора помоћу компримованог ваздуха или меке четке. Прекомерна прашина може ометати проток ваздуха и смањити ефикасност хлађења.
  • Термална паста: The included CryoFuze thermal paste is long-lasting. Reapplication is generally not needed unless the cooler is removed from the CPU. If reinstallation occurs, clean both surfaces and apply new thermal paste.
  • Провера течности: As a closed-loop system, the coolant does not need to be refilled or replaced.

Решавање проблема

ПроблемМогући узрокРешење
Високе температуре процесора
  • Insufficient thermal paste application.
  • Poor contact between cold plate and CPU.
  • Вентилатори се не окрећу или се окрећу преспоро.
  • Радијатор зачепљен прашином.
  • Пумпа не функционише.
  • Поново нанесите термалну пасту, водећи рачуна о равномерном покривању.
  • Check mounting pressure; ensure screws are tightened diagonally.
  • Verify fan and pump connections to motherboard headers. Check BIOS/UEFI settings for fan control.
  • Clean radiator fins and fan blades.
  • Listen for pump operation; if silent and temperatures are high, the pump may be faulty.
Прекомерна бука
  • Брзина вентилатора је превисока.
  • Loose fan screws or vibrating components.
  • Air bubbles in the pump (initial setup).
  • Adjust fan curve in BIOS/UEFI or software.
  • Ensure all fan and radiator screws are tight.
  • Allow the system to run for a few hours; air bubbles should dissipate. Ensure the radiator is mounted higher than the pump if possible.
Installation Difficulties (Brackets/Screws)
  • Incorrect bracket selection.
  • Misaligned screws or threads.
  • Refer to the physical manual for correct bracket identification for your CPU socket.
  • Ensure screws are started straight and not cross-threaded. Apply gentle, even pressure.
