3.1. Intel Installation (LGA1700/1200/115X)

  1. Install the Intel Backplate: Place the included Intel backplate behind the motherboard, aligning the screw holes with the CPU socket. Ensure the correct orientation for your socket type (LGA1700 or LGA1200/115X).

  2. Secure Standoffs and Brackets: From the front of the motherboard, screw in the appropriate Intel standoffs through the mounting holes. Place the Intel mounting brackets over the standoffs and secure them with the provided thumbscrews until firm. Use the correct socket column for LGA1200/115X or LGA1700.

  4. Prepare Pump Head: Remove the protective sticker from the copper base of the pump head. Attach the Intel mounting bracket to the pump head by sliding it into the designated slots until it clicks securely into place.
  5. Mount Pump Head: Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the holes in the bracket with the standoffs. Secure the pump head by tightening the four screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
  6. Instal·lació del radiador i els ventiladors: Mount the radiator to an available fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Attach the two 120mm PWM fans to the radiator using the provided screws, ensuring proper airflow direction (typically blowing air through the radiator and out of the case).
  7. Connectar els cables: Connect the pump power cable to the AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header on your motherboard. Connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN header or other available fan headers, ensuring they are configured for PWM control in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI.

3.2. AMD Installation (AM5/AM4)

  1. Remove Stock Retention Module: Unscrew and remove the plastic retention module from your motherboard, but keep the stock AMD backplate as it is required for installation.
  2. Install AMD Standoffs and Brackets: Screw the appropriate AMD standoffs into the stock AMD backplate from the front of the motherboard. Place the AMD mounting brackets over the standoffs and secure them with the provided screws until firm.
  3. Aplicar pasta tèrmica: Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the pump head will distribute it evenly.
  4. Prepare Pump Head: Remove the protective sticker from the copper base of the pump head. Attach the AMD mounting bracket to the pump head by sliding it into the designated slots until it clicks securely into place.
  5. Mount Pump Head: Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the holes in the bracket with the standoffs. Secure the pump head by tightening the four screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
  6. Instal·lació del radiador i els ventiladors: Mount the radiator to an available fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Attach the two 120mm PWM fans to the radiator using the provided screws, ensuring proper airflow direction (typically blowing air through the radiator and out of the case).
  7. Connectar els cables: Connect the pump power cable to the AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header on your motherboard. Connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN header or other available fan headers, ensuring they are configured for PWM control in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed and powered on, the FROSTFLOW X 240 will automatically begin cooling your CPU. The 120mm PWM fans will adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, providing efficient cooling while minimizing noise. The pump head features a static white LED light that illuminates when the system is powered on.

4.1. Control del ventilador

The included PWM fans are designed to be controlled by your motherboard's fan headers. You can typically adjust fan curves and speeds through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. Ensure the fan headers are set to PWM mode for optimal control.

4.2. Il·luminació LED

The pump head features a white LED light. This lighting is static and does not offer customizable RGB options. It will illuminate automatically when the cooler receives power.

5. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir un rendiment òptim i una llarga durada del refrigerador AIO.

  • Neteja de pols: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Dust buildup can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Ensure the system is powered off before cleaning.
  • Inspeccioneu els tubs i les connexions: Occasionally check the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage. While AIO coolers are sealed, visual inspection is a good practice.
  • Pasta tèrmica: The thermal paste applied during installation typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures over time, reapplying fresh thermal paste may be beneficial.
  • Sense peces reparables per l'usuari: The liquid loop of the AIO cooler is factory-sealed and does not require refilling or other user maintenance. Attempting to open the loop will void the warranty and may damage the unit.

6. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your FROSTFLOW X 240, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Temperatures altes de la CPU:
    • Assegureu-vos que els ventiladors girin i estiguin orientats correctament per al flux d'aire.
    • Verify the pump is running (you might feel a slight vibration or hear a faint hum).
    • Check that the pump head is securely mounted to the CPU and thermal paste is properly applied.
    • Netegeu qualsevol acumulació de pols a les aletes del radiador.
  • Els ventiladors no giren:
    • Comproveu les connexions del cable del ventilador a la placa base.
    • Verify fan settings in BIOS/UEFI are not set to 0 RPM or a very low threshold.
  • Pump Not Running/Making Noise:
    • Ensure the pump power cable is securely connected to the correct header (AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT).
    • Check BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the pump header is enabled and receiving power.
    • Some gurgling noise immediately after startup is normal as air settles, but persistent loud noise may indicate an issue.
  • White LED Not Illuminating:
    • Verify all power connections to the pump are secure.
