4. Configuració i instal·lació

The installation process for the Thermalright Frozen Prism 240 Black is straightforward. It is recommended to follow the provided installation video (if available from the manufacturer) or the general steps below. Always ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning installation.

4.1. Prepareu el vostre sistema

1. Apagueu l'ordinador i desconnecteu tots els cables.
2. Obriu la carcassa de l'ordinador per accedir a la placa base i a la zona de la CPU.
3. Traieu qualsevol refrigerador de CPU existent. Netegeu bé la superfície de la CPU per eliminar la pasta tèrmica antiga.

4.2. Instal·leu el radiador i els ventiladors

1. Attach the two TL-E12 V2 fans to the radiator using the long screws provided. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case (typically exhausting air out or intaking air in).
2. Mount the radiator assembly to an available 240mm fan mount in your computer case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Secure it with the appropriate screws.

4.3. Install CPU Water Block

1. Identify the correct mounting bracket for your CPU socket (AMD AM4/AM5 or Intel LGA series).
2. Install the backplate (if required for your socket) behind the motherboard.
3. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
4. Col·loqueu amb cura el bloc d'aigua a la CPU, alineant els forats de muntatge.
5. Secure the water block with the appropriate screws and standoffs, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.4. Connecteu els cables

1. Connect the pump's 3-pin power cable to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
2. Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM cables to the CPU_FAN header or a SYS_FAN header on your motherboard, using the provided Y-connector if necessary.
3. Connect the 5V ARGB cable from the pump to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Ensure it is connected to a 5V header, not a 12V RGB header, to prevent damage.
4. Col·loca els cables amb cura per evitar interferències amb altres components o amb el flux d'aire.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, the Thermalright Frozen Prism 240 Black operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan and pump control settings.

• Engegada inicial: After installation, close your PC case, reconnect all cables, and power on your system. Monitor CPU temperatures using system monitoring software.
• Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI: Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to ensure the CPU_FAN header (or AIO_PUMP header) is set to PWM mode and configured for optimal performance. You can adjust fan curves to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
• ARGB Control: If connected to a 5V ARGB header, you can control the lighting effects using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
• Període d'entrada: It is normal for the cooler to make some noise during the initial few days of operation as air bubbles settle within the loop. This noise should subside over time.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your liquid cooler.

• Neteja de pols: Netegeu periòdicament les aletes del radiador i les aspes del ventilador per evitar l'acumulació de pols, que pot impedir el flux d'aire i reduir l'eficiència de la refrigeració. Feu servir aire comprimit o un raspall suau.
• Inspecció de tubs: Regularly check the water tubes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.
• Pasta tèrmica: While not frequently required for AIOs, if you ever remove the water block, clean off the old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste before reinstallation.
