Configuração e instalação

Follow these steps for proper installation of your darkFlash DE360 liquid CPU cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning.

1. Prepare the CPU Block

1. Carefully remove the protective film from the copper cold plate of the CPU block.
2. Attach the appropriate mounting bracket (Intel or AMD) to the CPU block. Align the bracket with the arrows and rotate until it is parallel and securely locked.

2. Instale o radiador e as ventoinhas.

1. Mount the 360mm radiator with its pre-installed fans to an available fan mounting location in your PC case (typically the top or front). Use the provided screws to secure it.
2. Garanta a direção correta do fluxo de ar para um resfriamento ideal.

3. Monte o bloco da CPU

1. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
2. Place the backplate on the rear of your motherboard, aligning it with the CPU socket holes.
3. Insert the appropriate standoffs (Intel 17XX/115X/1200 or AMD) into the four mounting holes around the CPU socket.
4. Carefully place the CPU block onto the CPU, ensuring the mounting holes align with the standoffs.
5. Secure the CPU block with the provided mounting screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4. Conexões de Cabos

1. Connect the 3-pin pump connector to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
2. Connect the fan PWM cables to the CPU_FAN or other available fan headers on your motherboard.
3. Connect the ARGB cables to a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard for lighting synchronization.
4. Plug the USB 2.0 connector from the LCD screen into an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is essential for LCD display functionality and software control.

Instruções de operação

Once installed and connected, the darkFlash DE360 will begin cooling your CPU automatically. The fans will adjust speed based on CPU temperature via PWM control.

LCD Screen Functionality

The 2.88-inch IPS LCD screen on the CPU block displays real-time system information such as CPU temperature, frequency, and other customizable data. It can also display custom images or videos.

Manutenção

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your liquid CPU cooler.

• Limpeza de pó: Limpe periodicamente a poeira das aletas e ventoinhas do radiador usando ar comprimido. Certifique-se de que as ventoinhas não estejam girando durante a limpeza para evitar danos.
• Inspeção de tubos: Check the coolant tubes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. Ensure they are not pressing against other components that could cause wear.
• Ruído da bomba: Listen for unusual noises from the pump. A consistent humming sound is normal, but grinding or gurgling may indicate an issue.
• Pasta térmica: While not frequently required for AIOs, if you ever remount the CPU block, clean off old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste for optimal heat transfer.

Solução de problemas

If you encounter issues with your darkFlash DE360, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Altas temperaturas da CPU:
  • Ensure the CPU block is securely mounted and making full contact with the CPU.
  • Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly.
  • Check if the pump is running (listen for a faint hum or check software monitoring).
  • Certifique-se de que as ventoinhas do radiador estejam girando e orientadas corretamente para permitir o fluxo de ar.
  • Limpe qualquer acúmulo de poeira nas aletas do radiador.
• Ventoinhas não giram/RGB não funciona:
  • Check all fan and ARGB cable connections to the motherboard.
  • Ensure the ARGB header on your motherboard is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI or motherboard software.
  • Confirm that the power supply is providing adequate power.
• Tela LCD não exibida:
  • Verify the USB 2.0 cable from the LCD screen is securely connected to both the CPU block and the motherboard header.
  • Install the darkFlash control software and ensure it recognizes the device.
  • Check for any driver updates for the cooler on the darkFlash website.
• Ruído incomum da bomba:
  • Ensure the pump is positioned lower than the highest point of the radiator to prevent air bubbles from accumulating in the pump.
  • If the noise persists, contact darkFlash support.
