The installation process varies slightly depending on your CPU socket type (AMD or Intel). Please follow the instructions carefully for your specific platform.

4.1. General Preparation

• Assegureu-vos que el vostre sistema estigui apagat i desconnectat.
• Remove your existing CPU cooler.
• Clean any old thermal paste from your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS) using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

4.2. AMD AM4 / AM5 Installation

For AMD AM4/AM5 sockets, the existing motherboard backplate is utilized. Remove the plastic retention brackets around the CPU socket, but keep the metal backplate attached to the motherboard.

1. Install the four plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU socket holes.
2. Place the two metal AM4/AM5 brackets onto the plastic standoffs, ensuring correct orientation.
3. Secure the metal brackets with the four provided AM4/AM5 screws. Tighten them evenly in a cross pattern until snug.
4. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's IHS.
5. Remove the protective film from the heatsink base.
6. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the brackets.
7. Using the provided screwdriver, tighten the mounting nuts evenly in a cross pattern until the heatsink is securely mounted.
8. Attach the Light Wings 120mm fan to the heatsink using the included fan clips. Ensure the fan is oriented to push air through the heatsink towards the rear of the case.
9. Connecteu el cable del ventilador PWM de 4 pins al capçalera CPU_FAN de la placa base.
10. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.

12. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Control del ventilador

The Light Wings 120mm PWM fan is connected to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header. Fan speed can be controlled via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. It is recommended to set a fan curve that balances cooling performance with noise levels.

5.2. Control d'il·luminació ARGB

The ARGB lighting of the Light Wings fan is controlled via your motherboard's 5V ARGB header. Use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization with other ARGB components.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your CPU cooler.

• Eliminació de pols: Netegeu periòdicament la pols de les aletes del dissipador de calor i de les aspes del ventilador amb aire comprimit o un raspall suau. Assegureu-vos que el ventilador no giri durant la neteja.
• Inspecció del ventilador: Check the fan for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive noise. Replace the fan if necessary.
