6. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your ASUS ROG RYUO 240, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/No RGB/OLED Display Off:
  • Ensure all power cables (pump, fans) are securely connected to the motherboard headers.
  • Verify the internal USB 2.0 cable is correctly connected to both the pump unit and the motherboard.
  • Check LiveDash and Aura Sync software settings to ensure RGB and OLED are enabled and configured correctly.
• Temperatures altes de la CPU:
  • Confirmeu que la bomba funciona (és possible que sentiu una lleugera vibració o un brunzit feble).
  • Ensure fans are spinning and correctly oriented for airflow.
  • Verify the pump head is securely mounted to the CPU and making good contact.
  • Check for dust buildup on the radiator fins and clean if necessary.
  • Ensure LiveDash fan control settings are not set too low.
• Unusual Noise from Cooler:
  • Identify if the noise is coming from the fans or the pump.
  • If from fans, check for obstructions or loose mounting. Consider adjusting fan curves in LiveDash.
  • If from the pump, ensure the pump is running at an appropriate speed. Some pump noise is normal, but excessive gurgling might indicate air in the loop (which usually resolves itself over time).
• LiveDash Software Issues (e.g., OLED logo not changing):
  • Ensure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of LiveDash and Aura Sync software from the official ASUS support weblloc.
  • Restart the LiveDash application or your computer.
  • Verify that custom images/animations meet the specified resolution (160x128 pixels) and size (1MB) requirements.
  • Some games or anti-cheat software may conflict with LiveDash. Try exiting LiveDash before launching such applications if you experience issues.
