Configuração e instalação
Follow these steps carefully to install your darkFlash DG360 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning installation.
1. Prepare o soquete da CPU
Identify your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD) and select the appropriate mounting brackets and backplate. Attach the standoffs to the motherboard according to your CPU socket type.

2. Instale o radiador e as ventoinhas.
Mount the fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case (typically exhausting air out or drawing air in). Install the radiator assembly into your PC case in an available mounting location (e.g., top, front, or rear).

3. Apply Thermal Paste and Mount Water Block
Clean the CPU surface and apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU. Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning it with the standoffs. Secure the water block with the appropriate screws, tightening them in a cross pattern until snug.

4. Conecte os cabos
Connect the pump's 3-pin power cable to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard. Connect the fan PWM cables to the CPU_FAN or other fan headers. For ARGB lighting, connect the 3-pin ARGB cables from the fans and pump to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller. The fans support daisy-chain connection for simplified wiring.

Instruções de operação
Controle de ventoinha PWM
The DG360's fans feature PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, allowing their speed to be adjusted automatically based on CPU temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. Configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software.
ARGB Lighting Synchronization
The pump head and fans are equipped with 5V 3-pin Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. This allows for dynamic and customizable lighting effects. Connect the ARGB cables to a compatible motherboard header (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome RGB) to synchronize lighting effects across your system. Use your motherboard's software to control the lighting patterns and colors.

Manutenção
A manutenção regular ajuda a garantir a longevidade e o desempenho ideal do seu sistema de refrigeração líquida para CPU.
- Limpeza de pó: Limpe periodicamente as aletas do radiador e as pás da ventoinha para evitar o acúmulo de poeira, que pode impedir o fluxo de ar e reduzir a eficiência da refrigeração. Use ar comprimido ou uma escova macia.
- Verifique a tubulação e as conexões: Inspect the tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. Ensure all cable connections (power, PWM, ARGB) are secure.
- Operação da bomba: Preste atenção a quaisquer ruídos incomuns vindos da bomba. Uma bomba funcionando corretamente deve operar silenciosamente.
Solução de problemas
Se você encontrar problemas com seu cooler darkFlash DG360, consulte os problemas e soluções comuns a seguir:
| Problema | Possível causa | Solução |
|---|---|---|
| Altas temperaturas da CPU | Poor thermal paste application, loose water block, insufficient airflow, pump failure. | Reapply thermal paste, ensure water block is securely mounted, clean radiator/fans, check pump connection. |
| Fans Not Spinning/ARGB Not Lighting Up | Incorrect cable connection, faulty fan/ARGB header, software conflict. | Verify all PWM and ARGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard or controller. Check motherboard BIOS/software settings. |
| Ruído da bomba | Air bubbles in the loop, pump running at maximum speed, faulty pump. | Gently tilt the PC case to dislodge air bubbles. Adjust pump speed in BIOS. If noise persists, contact support. |
| ARGB cable too short (as noted in a review) | Limited cable length for specific PC case layouts or motherboard header locations. | Consider using an ARGB extension cable if the pump's ARGB cable cannot reach the desired header. |
