BEFORE YOU START

NOTE: Most newer PC cases include a CPU cut-out to allow access to the bottom of the motherboard. If your case does not include a cut-out, you will need to remove the motherboard from the case prior to installation. iCUE LINK AIO coolers come with the Intel mounting bracket pre-installed on the pump for quick installation.

FAQ

How do I know the direction of the airflow of the fan?

FAQ_image-01_1

An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of airflow.



Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?

Re-installation of the cooler will require you to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply a new layer of thermal paste. Visit us at CORSAIR.com to choose one of our performance thermal pastes.



What orientation should I install my radiator?

FAQ_image-02_2


For optimal performance, we recommend installing the radiator with the tubes positioned at the bottom of the case (Figure 1). However, you have the flexibility to install the radiator in various orientations, including an inverted position. Please ensure that the highest point of the radiator is elevated above the level of the CPU pump, regardless of the installation orientation (Figure 2).



My cooler and fans are blinking red or not functioning. What do I do?

If the fans on your system are blinking red, this is an indication that too many iCUE LINK devices are connected to a single port on the System Hub. The maximum number of devices that can be connected to a single port is 7. To resolve this issue, please distribute the iCUE LINK devices across both available ports on the System Hub. This will ensure adequate power distribution to all connected devices.


If you continue to experience issues or find that the fans are not functioning at all, please perform the following:

  • Double check all connections between the cooler and fans.
  • Ensure that the cooler is updated to the most recent firmware via iCUE.

If this does not resolve your problems, please open a support ticket or contact our customer support team for further troubleshooting and assistance at https://help.corsair.com/hc/requests/new.
