Does this cooler come with thermal paste?

Yes, a pre-applied layer or a small tube of thermal paste is included with the cooler for installation.

What is the fan bearing type?

It uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB), known for its quiet operation and long lifespan.

Is the fan speed controllable?

Can I install a second fan on this heatsink?

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to DeepCool's official website or the product packaging for the most current warranty information specific to your region.

Troubleshooting

CPU temperature is high after installation.

Ensure the cooler is securely mounted with even pressure. Verify that the plastic protective film was removed from the cooler's base plate. Check that the thermal paste was applied correctly and that the fan is spinning.

The fan is not spinning.

Confirm that the fan's 4-pin cable is correctly plugged into the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. Check the motherboard's BIOS settings to ensure the CPU fan is enabled.

Cooler is making unusual noise.

Ensure the fan blades are not obstructed by any cables. Check if the cooler mounting is secure; a loose mount can sometimes cause vibrations. If the noise persists, the fan may need to be replaced.

Installation is difficult or bracket won't fit.

Double-check that you are using the correct mounting hardware for your specific CPU socket (Intel or AMD). Refer to the installation manual for detailed diagrams specific to your platform.
