4.2. AMD AM4/AM5 diegimas

1. Remove the plastic retention brackets from the motherboard, but keep the original motherboard backplate.
2. Install the four red plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU socket screw holes.
3. Place the two metal mounting brackets onto the plastic standoffs, aligning the holes.
4. Secure the metal brackets with the four AM4 screws. Tighten them in a diagonal pattern until snug.
5. Apply a small amount of thermal compound to the center of the CPU IHS.
6. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the brackets.
7. Tighten both nuts on the heatsink with a screwdriver in an alternating fashion until secure.

4.3. Intel LGA1700/1200/115X/1851 Installation

1. Adjust the mounting hole position on the universal backplate to match your specific Intel socket (e.g., LGA1700 or LGA115X).
2. Install the backplate from the back side of the motherboard, ensuring the holes align with the CPU socket.
3. Install the four blue plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU socket screw holes.
4. Place the two metal mounting brackets onto the plastic standoffs, aligning the holes.
5. Secure the metal brackets with the four appropriate screws (1700 screws for LGA1700, 115X screws for LGA115X/1200/1851). Tighten them in a diagonal pattern until snug.
6. Apply a small amount of thermal compound to the center of the CPU IHS.
7. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the brackets.
8. Tighten both nuts on the heatsink with a screwdriver in an alternating fashion until secure.

4.4. Ventiliatoriaus montavimas

1. Attach the fan clips to the TL-C12C-L V2 fan.
2. Carefully clip the fan onto the heatsink, ensuring it is securely attached and facing the correct direction for optimal airflow (typically blowing towards the rear of the case).
3. Connect the 4-pin PWM power cable from the fan to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.

5. Naudojimo instrukcijos

The Thermalright Assassin X 120R SE V2 CPU Cooler operates automatically once installed and connected to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header.

• PWM valdymas: The 4-pin PWM fan automatically adjusts its speed based on CPU temperature, as controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system software. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads.
• RGB apšvietimas: The fan features self-luminous RGB lighting. The lighting is powered through the same 4-pin fan connector and illuminates automatically upon system power-on. Note that this model typically features a fixed RGB lighting pattern and does not offer software-controlled addressable RGB (ARGB) customization unless specified by your motherboard's capabilities and additional connections (which are not standard for this fan).

6. Priežiūra

Reguliarus techninis aptarnavimas padeda užtikrinti optimalų procesoriaus aušintuvo veikimą ir ilgaamžiškumą.

• Dulkių valymas: Periodically (every 3-6 months, depending on environment), power off your system and use compressed air to gently blow dust out of the heatsink fins and fan blades. Hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.
• Terminė pasta: Thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This requires carefully removing the heatsink, cleaning old paste, and applying new paste as per installation instructions.
• Ventiliatoriaus patikrinimas: Check the fan for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive noise. The S-FDB bearings are designed for durability, but extreme conditions can affect performance.
