Guía de instalación

1. Preparación

• Identifique el tipo de zócalo de su CPU (Intel LGA o AMD AM).
• Ensure your PC case has adequate space for a 360mm radiator.
• Gather necessary tools (screwdriver, etc.).

2. Montaje del radiador y los ventiladores

1. Attach the three 120mm fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's cooling strategy.
2. Mount the radiator assembly to the designated location in your PC case (e.g., top, front).

3. Installing the Pump Block

The pump block comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If you prefer to use your own, carefully clean off the pre-applied paste before applying a new layer.

1. Install the appropriate mounting brackets for your CPU socket onto the pump block.
2. Carefully place the pump block onto your CPU, aligning it with the mounting holes.
3. Secure the pump block using the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a cross pattern until snug.
4. For optimal thermal contact, orient the cold plate as follows: Intel CPUs at 6 o'clock, AMD CPUs at 3 o'clock.

4. Cables de conexión

1. Connect the fan PWM cables to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP headers on your motherboard, or to a fan hub if applicable.
2. Connect the pump power cable to the dedicated AIO_PUMP header or a suitable fan header on your motherboard.
3. Connect the USB cable from the pump to the provided USB 3.0 Hub with Passthrough. Then, connect the USB hub to an available USB 2.0 or 3.0 header on your motherboard. This allows the pump to communicate with the Antec iUnity software while keeping front-panel USB ports accessible.
4. Connect the RGB cables from the fans and pump to your motherboard's ARGB header or a compatible RGB controller.
