4. Instalación

The installation process varies slightly depending on your CPU socket type (AMD or Intel). Please follow the instructions carefully for your specific platform.

4.1. Preparación xeral

• Asegúrate de que o teu sistema estea apagado e desenchufado.
• Remove your existing CPU cooler.
• Clean any old thermal paste from your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS) using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

4.2. AMD AM4 / AM5 Installation

For AMD AM4/AM5 sockets, the existing motherboard backplate is utilized. Remove the plastic retention brackets around the CPU socket, but keep the metal backplate attached to the motherboard.

1. Install the four plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU socket holes.
2. Place the two metal AM4/AM5 brackets onto the plastic standoffs, ensuring correct orientation.
3. Secure the metal brackets with the four provided AM4/AM5 screws. Tighten them evenly in a cross pattern until snug.
4. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's IHS.
5. Remove the protective film from the heatsink base.
6. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the brackets.
7. Using the provided screwdriver, tighten the mounting nuts evenly in a cross pattern until the heatsink is securely mounted.
8. Attach the Light Wings 120mm fan to the heatsink using the included fan clips. Ensure the fan is oriented to push air through the heatsink towards the rear of the case.
9. Conecta o cable do ventilador PWM de 4 pinos ao conector CPU_FAN da placa base.
10. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.

4.3. Intel LGA 1700 / 1200 / 115x Installation

For Intel sockets, you will use the provided Intel backplate and mounting hardware.

1. Adjust the mounting hole position on the Intel backplate to match your CPU socket (e.g., LGA 1700).
2. Place the Intel backplate on the backside of your motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket.
3. Install the four plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU socket holes, screwing them into the backplate.
4. Place the two metal Intel brackets onto the plastic standoffs, ensuring correct orientation.
5. Secure the metal brackets with the four provided Intel screws. Tighten them evenly in a cross pattern until snug.
6. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's IHS.
7. Remove the protective film from the heatsink base.
8. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the brackets.
9. Using the provided screwdriver, tighten the mounting nuts evenly in a cross pattern until the heatsink is securely mounted.
10. Attach the Light Wings 120mm fan to the heatsink using the included fan clips. Ensure the fan is oriented to push air through the heatsink towards the rear of the case.
11. Conecta o cable do ventilador PWM de 4 pinos ao conector CPU_FAN da placa base.
12. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

5.1. Control do ventilador

The Light Wings 120mm PWM fan is connected to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header. Fan speed can be controlled via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. It is recommended to set a fan curve that balances cooling performance with noise levels.

5.2. Control de iluminación ARGB

The ARGB lighting of the Light Wings fan is controlled via your motherboard's 5V ARGB header. Use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization with other ARGB components.

6. Mantemento

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

• Eliminación de po: Limpa periodicamente o po das aletas do disipador de calor e das aspas do ventilador con aire comprimido ou un cepillo suave. Asegúrate de que o ventilador non xira durante a limpeza.
• Inspección do ventilador: Check the fan for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive noise. Replace the fan if necessary.
• Pasta térmica: While not frequently required, if you remove the heatsink for any reason, clean off the old thermal paste and apply a fresh layer before reinstallation.

7 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your CPU cooler, refer to the following common solutions:

• Temperaturas altas da CPU:
  • Ensure the heatsink is securely mounted and making good contact with the CPU.
  • Verifique que a pasta térmica se aplicou de forma correcta e uniforme.
  • Check fan speed settings in BIOS/UEFI; ensure the fan is spinning at an appropriate speed.
  • Clean any dust buildup from the heatsink fins and fan blades.
  • Asegúrate de que haxa un fluxo de aire axeitado dentro da carcasa do teu PC.
• Fan Not Spinning/No ARGB Lighting:
  • Check that the 4-pin PWM fan cable is securely connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Verify that the 3-pin ARGB cable is securely connected to a compatible 5V ARGB header.
  • Ensure ARGB lighting is enabled and configured correctly in your motherboard's software/BIOS.
  • Inspect cables for any damage.
• Ruído excesivo do ventilador:
  • Axusta a configuración da velocidade do ventilador na BIOS/UEFI a unhas RPM máis baixas se as temperaturas o permiten.
  • Check for any obstructions or loose cables hitting the fan blades.
  • Asegúrate de que o ventilador estea ben montado e que non vibre.
