3. Guía de instalación

This section details the installation process for the ZALMAN CNPS80G Rev.1 CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source before beginning installation.

3.1. Prepare the CPU and Motherboard

1. Ensure your CPU is correctly seated in its socket on the motherboard.
2. Clean the surface of the CPU and the cooler's base plate with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust or old thermal paste.
3. Apply a small amount of the provided thermal grease (ZM-STG2M) to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). A pea-sized dot is generally sufficient. Do not spread the paste; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.

3.2. Mounting the Cooler (Intel Sockets: LGA115X / 775 / LGA1200)

1. Attach the Intel Clip Support to the cooler's base if not already pre-installed.
2. Align the four push-pins on the cooler's mounting bracket with the four mounting holes around the CPU socket on the motherboard.
3. Press down firmly on each push-pin in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until you hear a click, indicating they are securely fastened.
4. Gently tug on the cooler to ensure it is securely attached and does not wobble.

3.3. Mounting the Cooler (AMD Sockets: AM4 / AM3+ / AM3)

The ZALMAN CNPS80G Rev.1 utilizes a clip-based mounting system for AMD sockets. Ensure the motherboard's original AMD retention brackets are in place.

1. Hook one side of the cooler's retention clip onto the corresponding tab of the AMD retention bracket on the motherboard.
2. Apply gentle downward pressure on the opposite side of the cooler while pushing the lever down to secure the second clip onto the other tab of the AMD retention bracket.
3. Ensure the cooler is firmly seated and does not move freely.

3.4. Connect the Fan Cable

Locate the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard. Connect the cooler's 4-pin fan cable to this header. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly.

4. Funcionamento

The ZALMAN CNPS80G Rev.1 CPU Cooler operates automatically once installed and connected. The 4-pin PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan adjusts its speed based on the CPU temperature, as controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system software.

• Automatic Speed Control: The fan speed will increase under higher CPU loads and decrease during idle periods to maintain optimal temperature and minimize noise.
• Nivel de ruído: The fan is designed for quiet operation, with a maximum noise level of 25.3 Decibels at full speed.

5. Mantemento

Un mantemento regular garante un rendemento óptimo e unha maior duración do refrigerador da CPU.

• Eliminación de po: Periodically inspect the heatsink fins and fan blades for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Ensure the fan is held stationary when using compressed air to prevent over-spinning and potential damage.
• Reaplicación de pasta térmica: Se retiras o refrigerador por calquera motivo, recoméndase limpar a pasta térmica antiga tanto da CPU como da base do refrigerador e aplicar pasta térmica nova antes de reinstalalo.

6 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your ZALMAN CNPS80G Rev.1 CPU Cooler, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Temperaturas altas da CPU:
  • Ensure the cooler is securely mounted and making proper contact with the CPU.
  • Verifique que a pasta térmica se aplicou de forma correcta e uniforme.
  • Check if the fan is spinning. If not, ensure the fan cable is properly connected to the "CPU_FAN" header.
  • Limpa calquera acumulación de po das aletas do disipador de calor e das aspas do ventilador.
  • Confirm that your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to control the CPU fan speed based on temperature.
• O ventilador non xira:
  • Check the 4-pin fan cable connection to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
  • Asegúrese de que o sistema estea acendido.
  • In some low-load scenarios, PWM fans may spin at very low RPM or temporarily stop if the CPU temperature is extremely low. Monitor CPU temperature to confirm.
• Ruído excesivo:
  • Check for any cables or obstructions interfering with the fan blades.
  • Asegúrate de que o ventilador estea montado de forma segura e que non vibre contra outros compoñentes.
  • Dust accumulation can cause imbalance and noise; clean the fan.
  • Verify fan speed settings in BIOS/UEFI. If set to run at maximum speed constantly, it will be louder.
