- Smulkias dalis ir pakavimo medžiagas laikykite vaikams nepasiekiamoje vietoje.
- Užtikrinkite tinkamą vėdinimą kompiuterio korpuse, kad išvengtumėte perkaitimo.
- Nebandykite modifikuoti aušintuvo ar jo komponentų. Neleistini pakeitimai gali panaikinti garantiją ir kelti pavojų saugumui.
3. Pakuotės turinys
Verify that all items are present in your Antec A40 Pro package:
- Antec A40 Pro CPU Cooler (Heatsink with pre-attached 92mm fan)

4. Sąranka ir diegimas
The Antec A40 Pro supports various Intel and AMD sockets, including AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+, LGA 1151, and AM4. The installation process may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions regarding CPU cooler installation points.
4.1 Paruošimas
- Išjunkite kompiuterį ir atjunkite visus laidus.
- Atidarykite kompiuterio korpusą, kad pasiektumėte pagrindinę plokštę.
- If replacing an existing cooler, carefully remove it and clean any old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
- Įsitikinkite, kad jūsų procesorius tinkamai įstatytas į lizdą.
4.2 Terminės pastos užtepimas
Apply a small amount of thermal paste (typically a pea-sized dot or a thin line) to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.
4.3 Aušintuvo montavimas
Follow these general steps for mounting. Specific bracket usage depends on your CPU socket:
- For AMD Sockets (AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/FM2+/AM4):
- Utilize the existing AMD retention bracket on your motherboard.
- Attach the cooler's mounting clips to the plastic tabs of the AMD retention bracket.
- Apply even pressure and secure the clips.
- For Intel Sockets (LGA 1151 and others):
- Install the appropriate Intel backplate behind your motherboard.
- Secure the Intel mounting brackets to the cooler's base.
- Align the cooler with the screw holes on the motherboard (which pass through the backplate).
- Carefully lower the cooler onto the CPU, ensuring the thermal paste makes good contact.
- Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
4.4 Ventiliatoriaus prijungimas
Connect the 4-pin fan cable from the Antec A40 Pro to the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard. This allows the motherboard to control the fan speed based on CPU temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels.
5. Naudojimo instrukcijos
Once installed, the Antec A40 Pro operates automatically. The 4-pin PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan will adjust its speed based on the CPU temperature, as controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quieter operation during lighter loads.
- Temperatūros stebėjimas: Use system monitoring software (e.g., HWMonitor, CPU-Z, or your motherboard's utility) to check CPU temperatures. Ideal idle temperatures are typically below 45°C, and under full load, they should remain below 80°C, though this can vary by CPU model.
- BIOS / UEFI nustatymai: You can fine-tune fan speed curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to customize the balance between cooling performance and noise.
6. Priežiūra
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Antec A40 Pro cooler.
- Dulkių šalinimas: Periodiškai (kas 3–6 mėnesius arba dažniau dulkėtoje aplinkoje) suslėgtu oru nupūskite dulkes nuo radiatoriaus briaunų ir ventiliatoriaus menčių. Švelniai laikykite ventiliatoriaus mentes, kad valymo metu jos per greitai nesisuktų, nes tai gali sugadinti ventiliatoriaus variklį.
- Terminė pasta: The thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This requires removing the cooler, cleaning the old paste, and applying new paste.
- Ventiliatoriaus patikrinimas: Check the fan for any signs of wear, unusual noise, or reduced rotation speed. If the fan fails, it can often be replaced without replacing the entire heatsink.
7. Problemų sprendimas
- Aukšta procesoriaus temperatūra:
- Įsitikinkite, kad aušintuvas yra tvirtai pritvirtintas ir visiškai liečiasi su procesoriumi.
- Patikrinkite, ar termopasta buvo tinkamai užtepta ir ar ji nėra išdžiūvusi.
- Check if the fan is spinning. If not, ensure it's properly connected to the CPU_FAN header.
- Nuvalykite visas susikaupusias dulkes nuo radiatoriaus briaunų ir ventiliatoriaus menčių.
- Confirm adequate airflow within your computer case.
- Fan Not Spinning or Making Unusual Noise:
- Check the 4-pin fan connection to the motherboard.
- Inspect for any cables or obstructions hitting the fan blades.
- If the fan is making grinding or clicking noises, it may be failing and require replacement.
- Blue LED Not Lighting Up:
- The LED is integrated with the fan power. If the fan is spinning but the LED is off, there might be an issue with the LED itself. This typically does not affect cooling performance.
