Configuració i instal·lació
Before you begin, ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific CPU socket and mounting instructions.
Contingut del paquet
- 240mm Radiator with Integrated Pump/Cold Plate
- 2 x 120mm Pink RGB Fans
- Mounting Hardware Kit (for Intel and AMD sockets)
- Pasta tèrmica (preaplicada o en tub)
- Cable divisor del ventilador

Passos d'instal·lació
- Prepareu el sòcol de la CPU: Clean the CPU surface thoroughly. Apply thermal paste (if not pre-applied) to the center of the CPU in a small pea-sized dot.
- Instal·leu el maquinari de muntatge: Attach the appropriate backplate to the rear of your motherboard. Secure the correct standoffs to the motherboard's CPU socket area according to your CPU type (Intel or AMD).
- Muntar la bomba/placa freda: Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided thumb screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
- Instal·lació del radiador i els ventiladors: Mount the two 120mm fans to the radiator using the long screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is correct (typically blowing air through the radiator and out of the case, or into the case depending on your setup). Install the radiator assembly into your PC case in a suitable location (e.g., front, top, or rear panel).
- Connectar els cables:
- Connecteu el cable d'alimentació de la bomba al capçalera CPU_FAN o AIO_PUMP de la placa base.
- Connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN headers, or to a fan hub if provided.
- Connect the RGB cables from the pump and fans to the motherboard's 5V Addressable RGB header (+5V D G) or the included RGB controller.
Funcionament
Power On and Initial Check
After completing the installation, power on your system. Observe the fans and pump to ensure they are operating correctly. It is recommended to monitor CPU temperatures using system monitoring software to confirm proper cooling performance.
Control de velocitat del ventilador (PWM)
The PINKFLOW 240 fans support PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, allowing for precise adjustment of fan speeds between 900-2000 RPM. This can be configured via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through dedicated fan control software provided by your motherboard manufacturer.
Control d'il·luminació RGB
The vibrant RGB lighting on the pump and fans can be customized to match your PC build's aesthetic. Control options include:
- Sincronització de la placa base: Connect the RGB cables to your motherboard's 5V Addressable RGB header (+5V D G) and use the motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to synchronize lighting effects.
- Included RF Wireless Controller: If your motherboard does not have a compatible ARGB header, use the provided RF wireless controller to cycle through various lighting modes, colors, and brightness levels.
Manteniment
Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del refrigerador líquid de CPU.
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades to prevent dust buildup. Dust can significantly impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust.
- Gestió de cables: Ensure all cables connected to the cooler are neatly routed and do not obstruct airflow within the PC case. Proper cable management contributes to better thermal performance.
- Monitorització de la temperatura: Regularly monitor your CPU temperatures using system monitoring software. Significant increases in idle or load temperatures may indicate a need for cleaning or further inspection.
Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Sense il·luminació RGB | Loose RGB cable connection, Incorrect RGB header, Software issue | Check 5V ARGB cable connection to motherboard/controller. Ensure it's connected to a +5V D G header. Verify motherboard RGB software settings or use the included controller. |
| Els aficionats no giren | Loose fan cable connection, Incorrect fan header, Fan failure | Check fan cable connections to motherboard/fan hub. Ensure they are connected to appropriate fan headers (e.g., CPU_FAN, SYS_FAN). Test fans individually if possible. |
| Temperatures altes de la CPU | Insufficient thermal paste, Improper pump/cold plate mounting, Radiator/fan dust buildup, Pump failure | Re-apply thermal paste. Re-mount pump/cold plate ensuring even pressure. Clean radiator and fans. Check if pump is running (listen for faint hum, feel for vibration). |
| Pump noise (gurgling/rattling) | Air bubbles in loop | Orient radiator correctly to allow air bubbles to settle in the radiator (usually with tubes at the bottom). Gently tilt the PC case to help move air bubbles. If noise persists, contact support. |
