3. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

This section provides detailed steps for installing your Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler. For a visual guide, please refer to the installation video below.

3.1. Instalazio aurreko urratsak

1. Ensure your CPU is properly seated in its socket.
2. Clean the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove any old thermal paste or residue.
3. Identify the correct mounting hardware for your CPU socket (Intel LGA1150/1151/1155/1156/1200/1700/1851 or AMD AM4/AM5).

3.2. Mounting Bracket Installation (Intel LGA1700 Example)

1. Stick the Intel 1700 back plate onto the back side of the motherboard, aligning the holes.
2. Install four Intel 1700 plastic standoffs into the motherboard's mounting holes from the front side.
3. Install two metal brackets onto the plastic standoffs. Be aware of the LGA1700 mounting holes for correct orientation.
4. Secure the metal brackets with four Intel screws, tightening them evenly in a diagonal pattern until snug.

3.3. Heatsink and Fan Installation

1. Apply a small amount of thermal compound (e.g., a pea-sized dot or a thin line) onto the center of the CPU IHS.
2. Remove the protective plastic sticker from the heatsink base.
3. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts on the heatsink with the screws on both brackets.
4. Tighten both nuts with a screwdriver, alternating between them in small increments to ensure even pressure until the heatsink is firmly secured.
5. Install the fan clips onto the TL-C12C fan.
6. Attach the fan with the fan clips onto the heatsink, ensuring it is oriented to push air through the fins towards the rear or top of your case.
7. Install the 4-pin PWM fan header into the CPU FAN socket on your motherboard.
8. If your fan has ARGB lighting (check your specific model), connect the lighting signal cable to the motherboard's +5V ARGB 3PIN lighting socket.

4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

The Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE is designed for efficient and quiet CPU cooling. Once installed, the fan will automatically adjust its speed based on CPU temperature, controlled by your motherboard's PWM settings.

• Automatic Fan Control: The TL-C12C PWM fan operates at speeds up to 1550 RPM (±10%), providing optimal airflow while maintaining a low noise level (≤25.6dB(A)).
• AGHP Technology: The 4x6mm pure copper heat pipes utilize Anti-Gravity Heat Pipe (AGHP) technology, ensuring consistent cooling performance regardless of the cooler's orientation within your PC case.
• Errendimendu termikoa: The cooler is designed to quietly dissipate high CPU temperatures, maintaining stable performance even under gaming and heavy workloads.

5. Mantentzea

Mantentze-lan erregularrak zure CPU hozkailuaren iraupena eta errendimendu optimoa bermatzen laguntzen du.

• Hautsa kentzea: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months), use compressed air to gently blow dust out of the heatsink fins and fan blades. Ensure the fan is held stationary to prevent over-spinning and potential damage to the bearings.
• Pasta termikoa: The thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal compound after carefully cleaning the CPU and heatsink surfaces.
• Fan ikuskapena: Check the fan for any obstructions or unusual noises. Ensure the fan cable is securely connected to the motherboard.

6. Arazoak

If you encounter issues with your CPU cooler, try the following steps:

• Haizagailua ez dabil biraka:
  • Check if the 4-pin PWM fan header is securely connected to the CPU FAN socket on the motherboard.
  • Verify that the fan is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.
  • Ensure your power supply is providing adequate power to the motherboard and components.
• CPUaren tenperatura altuak:
  • Confirm the heatsink is properly seated and making full contact with the CPU IHS. Re-tighten the mounting screws if necessary.
  • Check if thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly. Reapply if unsure.
  • Ensure the fan is spinning and oriented correctly (blowing air through the heatsink).
  • Verify adequate airflow within your PC case. Consider adding or re-orienting case fans.
  • Check for excessive dust buildup on the heatsink fins and fan blades. Clean as per maintenance instructions.
• Gehiegizko zarata:
  • Ensure the fan is securely attached to the heatsink and not vibrating against other components.
  • Egiaztatu ea haizagailuaren palei ukitzen dieten kable edo oztoporik dagoen.
  • Adjust fan speed curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to reduce noise if temperatures allow.
