Mounting the fans on the radiator

Affix the fans to the radiator. We recommend installation in a push configuration. Next, mount the fans on the hose side. Now connect the fans to the CPU connection of the motherboard with the ARGB-PWM-Hub.

Affixing the radiator to the case

Fix the radiator with the radiator mounting screws.

Mounting of the CPU block

First peel off the protective film from the underside of the cooler. Apply thermal paste on the CPU surface. Caution: The thermal paste supplied should not be swallowed. If any is swallowed, drink lots of water and urgently seek the advice of a doctor. Store it beyond the reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Place the CPU block centrally over the short AMD mounting brackets, such that these allow the CPU block to be screwed down. For this you can use a normal crosshead screwdriver.

The following parts are needed for this

Affixing the backplate

Place the Intel backplate screws in the notches on the rear of the Intel backplate. Observe the drilled holes for the actual CPU socket. Use the O-rings to fasten the backplate screws on the Intel backplate. Once the Intel backplate is assembled, position it beneath the motherboard. Make sure that the Intel backplate screws exactly match the positions of the motherboard holes.

Installation of the mounting bridges

Screw the Intel spacer nut A onto the Intel backplate. Then position the Intel mounting brackets over the Intel spacer nut A and affix these with the mounting bracket fastening screws. You can use any cross-tip screwdriver for this

Mount the ARGB-PWM-Hub with the Hub mounting screws or the double sided tissue tape on a suitable position in your PC case. We recommend either the rear of the mainboard tray or a 2.5″ HDD slot. Next, connect the5V ARGB pin and the PWM pin with the mainboard. Then connect the SATA connector with the PSU.

Now connect the ARGB connector and the PWM connector of the fans with the ARGB-PWM-Hub. The connector marked RPM carries the rpm signal of the connected device to the Mainboard fan header.

ILLUMINATION

Synchronization of ARGB illumination with the motherboard

Light Loop enables you to synchronize the ARGB illumination of up to 6 ARGB devices with the motherboard by the ARGBPWM-Hub. The ARGB illumination is being controlled by the motherboard software.

Warning: The ARGB connector may only be connected to a 5V ARGB header.
