4. Configuració i instal·lació
4.1. Prepareu el vostre sistema
- Apagueu l'ordinador i desconnecteu el cable d'alimentació.
- Obriu la carcassa de l'ordinador per accedir a la placa base i a la zona de la CPU.
- Traieu qualsevol refrigerador de CPU existent. Netegeu bé la superfície de la CPU amb alcohol isopropílic per eliminar la pasta tèrmica antiga.
4.2. Install the Fan to the Radiator

Mount the radiator and fan assembly to an available 120mm fan mount in your computer case. Common locations include the rear exhaust, top, or front intake.
- Secure the radiator to the case using the appropriate screws.
4.4. Install the CPU Block/Pump

For Intel Sockets (LGA 1700/2066/2011/1151/1150/1155/1156/1200):
- Attach the correct Intel mounting bracket to the pump unit.
- Install the Intel backplate behind your motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket.
- Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the center of your CPU if it's not pre-applied on the cold plate.
- Carefully place the pump unit onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the backplate standoffs.
- Secure the pump unit with the provided thumb screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
For AMD Sockets (AM5/AM4):
- Remove the plastic retention clips from the stock AMD backplate (keep the stock backplate).
- Attach the correct AMD mounting bracket to the pump unit.
- Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the center of your CPU if it's not pre-applied on the cold plate.
- Carefully place the pump unit onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the stock AMD backplate.
- Secure the pump unit with the provided thumb screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
4.5. Connecteu els cables
- Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cable to an available CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN header on your motherboard.
- Connect the pump power cable (usually a 3-pin or SATA power connector) to an appropriate header on your motherboard (e.g., AIO_PUMP, PUMP_FAN, or a standard SYS_FAN header configured for full speed). Refer to your motherboard manual for specific header locations and settings.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
Once installed, the Xilence LQ120 operates automatically. The PWM fan will adjust its speed based on CPU temperature, and the pump will run continuously to circulate coolant.
- Arrencada inicial: After installation, power on your system. Monitor CPU temperatures using monitoring software (e.g., HWMonitor, Core Temp) to ensure proper cooling.
- Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI: Ensure the CPU_FAN header is set to PWM mode and the pump header (if applicable) is set to run at full speed or a consistent voltage to ensure optimal pump performance.
6. Manteniment
The Xilence LQ120 is a closed-loop system and requires minimal maintenance.
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. This helps maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance.
- Inspecció de tubs: Occasionally inspect the tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.
- No cal reomplir: Do not attempt to open or refill the cooler. It is a sealed unit.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Temperatures altes de la CPU | Incorrect installation of CPU block; Insufficient thermal paste; Fan not spinning; Pump not running; Radiator clogged with dust. | Re-seat CPU block, ensuring even pressure; Re-apply thermal paste; Check fan and pump connections; Clean radiator fins. |
| El ventilador no gira | Fan cable disconnected; Incorrect fan header connection; Fan failure. | Ensure fan cable is securely connected to CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN header; Try a different fan header; Replace fan if faulty. |
| Pump Not Running (No noise/flow) | Pump power cable disconnected; Incorrect pump header connection; Pump failure. | Ensure pump power cable is securely connected; Connect to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or PUMP_FAN header, or a SYS_FAN header set to full speed; Contact support if pump is faulty. |
| Soroll inusual | Air bubbles in the loop (initial startup); Fan rubbing against cables; Pump noise. | Tilt case gently to help move air bubbles (may subside over time); Re-route cables away from fan blades; Ensure pump is securely mounted. |
