5. Naudojimo instrukcijos

Once installed, the Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 ARGB CPU Water Cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's settings.

• Ventiliatoriaus valdymas: The PWM fans will adjust their speed automatically via the motherboard's 4-pin PWM header based on CPU temperature. You can configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software.
• ARGB apšvietimas: The addressable RGB lighting on the fans and water block can be controlled via your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header. Use your motherboard's RGB synchronization software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting effects. Ensure your motherboard supports 5V 3-pin ARGB; this cooler is not compatible with 12V 4-pin RGB headers.
• Siurblio veikimas: The water pump operates continuously to circulate coolant. Ensure the pump power cable is securely connected to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header for stable operation.

6. Priežiūra

Reguliarus techninis aptarnavimas padeda užtikrinti jūsų skysčio aušintuvo ilgaamžiškumą ir optimalų veikimą.

• Dulkių valymas: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Vamzdžių apžiūra: Check the water tubes for any signs of kinks, damage, or leaks. While the polymer compilation protection water pipes are designed for low evaporation and high life, regular visual inspection is recommended.
• Terminė pasta: Re-applying thermal paste is generally not required unless the cooler is removed. If re-installation is necessary, clean off old thermal paste and apply new compound.
