3. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

Follow these steps to install your CORSAIR Nautilus 360 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before installation.

3.1. Prestatu CPU Socket-a

1. Identify your CPU socket type (Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, or AMD AM5, AM4).
2. Select the appropriate mounting bracket and backplate from the package contents.
3. Install the backplate onto the motherboard from the rear, aligning it with the CPU socket holes.
4. Secure the standoffs to the front of the motherboard through the backplate.

3.2. Erradiadorea eta haizagailuak instalatu

1. Attach the three RS120 ARGB fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's cooling configuration (typically pushing air through the radiator or pulling air from it).
2. Mount the radiator assembly into your PC case. Common mounting locations include the top, front, or rear of the case, depending on available space and radiator size.

3.3. Mount the Pump/Cold Plate

1. The cold plate comes with pre-applied thermal paste. Handle the cold plate carefully to avoid disturbing the paste. If the paste is damaged or removed, apply a thin, even layer of new thermal paste before proceeding.
2. Align the pump assembly with the standoffs on the motherboard.
3. Place the pump onto the CPU, ensuring proper contact.
4. Secure the pump to the standoffs using the appropriate thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

3.4. Konektatu kableak

1. Haizagailuaren konexioak: Daisy-chain the RS ARGB fans together. Connect the final fan in the chain to a single 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard.
2. ARGB Connections: Connect the ARGB cable from the daisy-chained fans to a +5V ARGB header on your motherboard.
3. Ponparen potentzia: Connect the pump's 3-pin power cable to an available fan header on your motherboard (often labeled "AIO_PUMP" or "CPU_OPT"). Ensure this header is set to deliver full power in your motherboard's BIOS for optimal pump performance.

For advanced control over your fans and pump, an optional CORSAIR iCUE controller (sold separately) can be used.

4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

Once installed, the CORSAIR Nautilus 360 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings and the pump's constant power supply.

4.1. Fan Abiadura Kontrola

• The RS120 ARGB fans support PWM control, allowing for precise speed adjustments between 420 and 2,100 RPM.
• Fan speeds can be configured through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or compatible third-party software.
• The cooler supports Zero RPM mode, where fans can stop entirely at low temperatures to eliminate fan noise completely during light loads.

4.2. ARGB Argiztapenaren Kontrola

• The integrated ARGB LEDs on the pump head and fans can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
• Ensure your motherboard's ARGB header is enabled and configured correctly in its software or BIOS.

5. Mantentzea

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your liquid CPU cooler.

• Hautsa kentzea: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Excessive dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Kableen kudeaketa: Ensure all cables are securely connected and routed to prevent interference with fan operation or other components.
• Ikus-ikuskapena: Occasionally inspect the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage. While rare, early detection can prevent potential issues.
• Pasta termikoa: The pre-applied thermal paste is designed for long-term use. Reapplication is generally only necessary if the cooler is removed from the CPU.

6. Arazoak

If you encounter issues with your CORSAIR Nautilus 360 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• CPUaren tenperatura altuak:
  • Verify that the pump is receiving power and operating (check BIOS/UEFI for pump speed).
  • Ziurtatu haizagailuak biratzen ari direla eta aire-fluxurako behar bezala orientatuta daudela.
  • Egiaztatu erradiadorearen gainean hauts-pilaketa dagoen.
  • Confirm proper contact between the cold plate and CPU.
• Fans Not Spinning or ARGB Not Lighting Up:
  • Check all fan and ARGB cable connections to the motherboard.
  • Ensure the 4-pin PWM fan header and +5V ARGB header on your motherboard are enabled and configured correctly in BIOS/UEFI or software.
  • Confirm that the fans are not in Zero RPM mode if temperatures are high enough to warrant fan activity.
• Ezohiko zarata:
  • Inspect fans for any obstructions or loose cables.
  • Ziurtatu ponpa ondo muntatuta dagoela eta ez duela beste osagaien kontra bibratzen.
  • While the pump is designed for low noise (20 dBA), slight gurgling sounds upon initial startup are normal as air settles. These should dissipate.
