2. Guia d'instal·lació
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your ID-COOLING DX240 MAX Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source before beginning installation.
2.1 Compatibilitat
The DX240 MAX is compatible with the following CPU sockets:
- Intel: LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1151, LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156
- AMD: AM5, AM4
For proper installation, ensure your PC case has adequate clearance. A minimum of 58mm space is recommended between the case and the motherboard for the DX240 MAX.

2.3 Muntatge del refrigerador
- Instal·leu la placa posterior adequada (si cal per al vostre sòcol) a la part posterior de la placa base.
- Secure the standoffs to the motherboard through the CPU cooler mounting holes.
- Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
- Carefully place the pump unit onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
- Secure the pump unit with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a cross pattern until snug.
- Mount the radiator and fans to an available fan mount location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear).
- Connect the fan cables using the daisy-chain feature to reduce cable clutter.
- Connecteu el cable d'alimentació de la bomba al capçalera CPU_FAN o AIO_PUMP de la placa base.
- Connect the ARGB cable from the pump to an available 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller.

3. Instruccions de funcionament
Once installed, the ID-COOLING DX240 MAX operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings. This section details its operational features.
3.1 Fan Control (PWM & Zero RPM)
The 120mm fans support Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, allowing their speed to be dynamically adjusted based on CPU temperature. This ensures optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise.
The fans also feature Zero RPM support. At low CPU temperatures, the fans can stop completely, eliminating fan noise entirely for a quieter computing experience. Fan speed curves can typically be configured in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.

3.2 ARGB Lighting
The pump cover features Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, which can be synchronized with other ARGB components in your system. Control of the lighting effects is typically managed through your motherboard's RGB software or a dedicated ARGB controller.

4. Manteniment
Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del refrigerador líquid de CPU.
- Neteja de pols: Inspeccioneu periòdicament les aletes del radiador i les pales del ventilador per detectar acumulacions de pols. Utilitzeu aire comprimit o un raspall suau per eliminar suaument la pols. Assegureu-vos que els ventiladors no girin durant la neteja per evitar danys.
- Gestió de cables: Ensure all cables are securely connected and not obstructing airflow within the case.
- Inspecció visual: Occasionally check the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage. While rare, addressing issues early can prevent further complications.
5. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your ID-COOLING DX240 MAX, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Temperatures altes de la CPU:
- Verify the pump is running. Check the pump's power connection to the motherboard.
- Ensure fans are spinning. Check fan power connections and BIOS settings for fan curves.
- Confirm proper contact between the pump cold plate and the CPU. Re-apply thermal paste if necessary.
- Check for adequate airflow within your PC case.
- Els ventiladors no giren / L'ARGB no s'il·lumina:
- Check all power connections for fans and pump.
- Ensure the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V ARGB header on the motherboard or controller.
- Verify ARGB software settings on your operating system or in the motherboard BIOS.
- Soroll inusual:
- Identify the source of the noise (fans or pump).
- If fan noise, check for obstructions or adjust fan speed curves in BIOS.
- If pump noise, ensure the pump is mounted correctly and that there are no air bubbles trapped in the loop (this usually resolves itself over time).
If issues persist after following these steps, please contact ID-COOLING customer support.
