5. Guia d'instal·lació
Aquesta secció ofereix una descripció generalview of the installation process. Refer to the detailed graphical instructions included in your product packaging for specific steps for your CPU socket type.
Passos generals d'instal·lació:
- Prepara la placa base: Install the appropriate backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket.
- Aplicar pasta tèrmica: Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader).
- Mount Pump/Cold Plate: Secure the pump/cold plate unit onto the CPU, ensuring even pressure.
- Install Fans on Radiator: Attach the two 140mm PWM fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure correct airflow direction (typically pushing air through the radiator).
- Muntar el radiador: Install the radiator assembly into your PC case in a suitable location (e.g., front, top, or side panel).
- Connectar els cables: Connect the pump power cable to the designated header on your motherboard (usually AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN). Connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN or other available fan headers, ensuring PWM control is enabled in your BIOS/UEFI.

6. Funcionament
Once installed, the FROSTFLOW X 280 operates automatically. The PWM fans adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, as configured in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings. The pump's white LED will illuminate upon system power-on.
Control del ventilador:
For optimal performance and noise levels, it is recommended to configure a custom fan curve in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI. This allows the fan speed to increase with CPU temperature, providing efficient cooling when needed and quieter operation during lighter loads.

Il·luminació LED:
The pump features a static white LED illumination. This lighting is not addressable or customizable and will be active whenever the pump receives power.

7. Manteniment
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your liquid cooler.
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air to remove dust buildup. Dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
- Inspeccionar tubs: Check the tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.
- Inspecció de la bomba: Ensure the pump is operating quietly. Unusual noises may indicate an issue.
Precaució: Do not attempt to open the pump or radiator, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage or leaks.
8. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your FROSTFLOW X 280, refer to the following common solutions:
- Temperatures altes de la CPU:
- Ensure the pump is connected and running (check BIOS/UEFI for pump RPM).
- Verifiqueu que els ventiladors giren i estan correctament orientats per al flux d'aire.
- Comproveu l'aplicació de pasta tèrmica; torneu a aplicar-la si cal.
- Confirm the cold plate is making full contact with the CPU IHS.
- Soroll excessiu:
- Adjust fan speed curves in BIOS/UEFI to reduce RPM at lower temperatures.
- Comproveu si hi ha cargols o cables solts del ventilador que interfereixin amb les aspes del ventilador.
- If pump noise is excessive, ensure the radiator is mounted higher than the pump to prevent air bubbles from accumulating in the pump.
- El LED no s'il·lumina:
- Ensure the pump power cable is securely connected to the motherboard.
- Check motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings for any pump-related power options.
