Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cooler fit in my case?

This cooler is 15.1 cm tall. Please check your PC case specifications for 'Max CPU Cooler Height' to ensure it fits.

Can I use this with an AMD AM5 processor?

Yes, this model supports the AM5 socket out of the box.

Is the RGB lighting customizable?

Yes, the integrated ARGB lighting is addressable and can be customized via compatible motherboard software.

What is the benefit of the FDB bearing?

Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) offer smoother operation, reduced noise, and longer lifespan compared to traditional sleeve bearings.

Does it come with thermal paste?

Typically, Thermalright includes a small tube of thermal compound with the cooler. Always apply a thin, even layer to the CPU heat spreader during installation.

Troubleshooting

RGB lighting is not turning on

Verify that the 3-pin ARGB connector is securely plugged into a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard and that the software is configured correctly.

Fan is spinning at max speed constantly

Check your BIOS settings to ensure the CPU_FAN header is set to 'PWM' mode rather than 'DC' or 'Voltage' control.

Excessive noise from the cooler

Ensure no cables are touching the fan blades and confirm that the fan is mounted securely to the heatsink to prevent vibration.

Cons

  • Height of 15.1 cm may not fit in ultra-slim cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This cooler supports a broad range of sockets including Intel LGA 115x, 1200, 1700, 1851, and AMD AM4/AM5. Always verify your motherboard socket type before installation.

Setup: Ensure your PC case can accommodate a 15.1 cm tall cooler. During installation, connect the 4-pin PWM cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. The 3-pin ARGB connector should be attached to a 5V header on your motherboard to control the lighting effects.

Care: Periodically dust the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air to maintain optimal thermal performance. Avoid using liquid cleaners on the electronics.
