3. Especificacions

4. Configuració i instal·lació

Follow these general steps for installing the GAMDIAS Boreas E1-210 LITE CPU cooler. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type. Always refer to your motherboard's manual for precise instructions on CPU cooler installation.

4.1. Preparació

1. Assegureu-vos que l'ordinador estigui apagat i desendollat ​​de la presa de corrent.
2. Obriu la carcassa de l'ordinador per accedir a la placa base.
3. If replacing an existing cooler, carefully remove it and clean any old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

4.2. Instal·lació del suport de muntatge

Identify the correct mounting hardware for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD).

1. For Intel Sockets: Attach the appropriate Intel mounting clips to the universal mounting bracket. Position the bracket over the CPU socket, aligning the holes with the motherboard's cooler mounting holes. Secure it from the back of the motherboard if a backplate is provided or required.
2. For AMD Sockets: Attach the appropriate AMD mounting clips to the universal mounting bracket. Position the bracket over the CPU socket, aligning the holes with the motherboard's cooler mounting holes. Secure it.

4.3. Thermal Paste Application

Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). A pea-sized dot is usually sufficient. The cooler's direct contact heat pipes will spread it evenly upon installation.

4.4. Instal·lació del refrigerador

1. Carefully place the heatsink assembly onto the CPU, ensuring the base makes full contact with the thermal paste.
2. Align the cooler's mounting clips with the universal mounting bracket.
3. Secure the cooler by tightening the screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.5. Connexió del ventilador

1. Locate the 3-pin fan connector on the cooler's fan cable.
2. Connect this cable to an available 3-pin or 4-pin CPU Fan header on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for the exact location of the CPU Fan header.
3. The fan features Rainbow LED illumination, which will light up once connected and powered on.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed and connected, the GAMDIAS Boreas E1-210 LITE CPU cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings. The fan will spin to cool the CPU, and the Rainbow LED illumination will activate.

• Velocitat del ventilador: The fan operates at up to 2200 RPM. If connected to a 4-pin PWM header, your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or operating system software may allow for fan speed control based on CPU temperature. If connected to a 3-pin header, the fan will typically run at a constant speed or be voltage-controlled by the motherboard.
• Il·luminació LED: The fan features fixed Rainbow LED lighting that illuminates when the fan receives power. There are no software controls for the LED effects on this specific model.

6. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir un rendiment òptim de refrigeració i allarga la vida útil del refrigerador de la CPU.

• Eliminació de pols: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months), power off your computer and use compressed air to clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearing.
• Pasta tèrmica: Thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice consistently high CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This involves carefully removing the cooler, cleaning old paste from both the CPU and cooler base, and applying new paste.
• Inspecció del ventilador: Check the fan for any signs of wear, unusual noises, or obstructions. Ensure the fan cable is securely connected.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your GAMDIAS Boreas E1-210 LITE CPU cooler, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• El ventilador no gira:
  • Check if the fan cable is securely connected to the CPU Fan header on the motherboard.
  • Verify that the CPU Fan header is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.
  • Test the fan by connecting it to a different fan header if available.
• Temperatures altes de la CPU:
  • Ensure the cooler is properly seated and making full contact with the CPU.
  • Check if sufficient thermal paste was applied and that it is evenly spread. Reapply if necessary.
  • Clean any dust buildup from the heatsink fins and fan.
  • Verify that the fan is spinning at an appropriate speed. Adjust fan curves in BIOS/UEFI if possible.
  • Assegureu-vos que hi hagi un flux d'aire adequat dins de la carcassa del vostre PC.
• Els LED no s'encenen:
  • Confirm the fan is receiving power and spinning. The LEDs are integrated with the fan's power.
  • If the fan is spinning but LEDs are off, there might be an issue with the fan's LED component.
