Configuración e instalación
Before beginning installation, ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Refer to your motherboard and PC case manuals for specific guidance on component installation and clearances.
Verificación de compatibilidade
The LightFlow ARGB 360 supports the following CPU sockets:
- Intel: LGA 1700, LGA 1851
- AMD: AM4, AM5
Verify that your PC case has adequate space for a 360mm radiator (15.63"L x 4.72"W x 1.06"H) and the associated fans. The total height with fans is approximately 52mm (27mm radiator + 25mm fan thickness).

Pasos de instalación (guía xeral)
- Prepare Mounting Hardware: Identify the correct mounting brackets and screws for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD).
- Install Backplate (if applicable): For Intel sockets, install the appropriate backplate behind the motherboard. AMD AM4/AM5 typically uses the stock backplate.
- Montar o radiador: Secure the 360mm radiator with its pre-installed fans to an available mounting location in your PC case (e.g., top, front). Ensure proper airflow direction.
- Aplicar pasta térmica: If not pre-applied, apply a small amount of high-quality thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
- Instalar a bomba/placa fría: Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting studs. Secure it with the appropriate thumb screws or nuts until snug.
- Cables de conexión:
- Conecta o cable de alimentación de 3 ou 4 pines da bomba ao conector CPU_FAN ou AIO_PUMP da placa base.
- Connect the fan power cables (typically 4-pin PWM) to available fan headers on your motherboard or a fan controller.
- Connect the ARGB cables (3-pin 5V) from the fans and pump to an ARGB header on your motherboard or a dedicated ARGB controller.
- Xestión de cables Pasa todos os cables con coidado para garantir un fluxo de aire óptimo e unha aparencia de construción limpa.

Instrucións de funcionamento
Once installed, the MONTECH LightFlow ARGB 360 operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan and pump control settings. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to control the CPU fan/pump headers appropriately.
Control de iluminación ARGB
The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting on the pump and fans can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync) if connected to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header. Consult your motherboard manual for specific software and control instructions.
Seguimento do rendemento
Monitor your CPU temperatures using system monitoring software to ensure the cooler is functioning optimally. The pump operates at a maximum rotational speed of 3100 RPM, and the fans provide an air flow capacity of 78.73 Cubic Centimeters Per Minute (CFM) at a noise level of 28 Decibels.
Mantemento
Un mantemento regular axuda a garantir a lonxevidade e o rendemento óptimo do seu refrixerador líquido.
- Limpeza do po: Limpa periodicamente o po das aletas do radiador e das aspas do ventilador con aire comprimido ou un cepillo suave. Asegúrate de que os ventiladores non xiren durante a limpeza.
- Inspeccionar tubos: Occasionally check the tubing for any signs of kinks, damage, or leaks. While rare, early detection can prevent issues.
- Funcionamento do ventilador: Ensure all fans are spinning freely and quietly. Replace any fans that become excessively noisy or stop functioning.
- Pasta térmica: Reapplying thermal paste every few years, or when reinstalling the cooler, can help maintain optimal thermal transfer.
