BEFORE YOU START

NOTE: Most newer PC cases include a CPU cutout to allow access to the underside of the motherboard. If your case does not include a cutout, you will need to remove your motherboard from the case before installation. RGB Series coolers come with the Intel mounting bracket pre-installed on the pump for quick installation.

PUMP AND FANS INSTALLATION

1. CONNECT THE PUMP AND FANS TO THE MOTHERBOARD

• Connect the pump's 3-pin cable to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header (Image 1).

IMPORTANT: Do not utilize voltage fan control on the CPU_FAN header with the pump connected for the best performance experience.

• Connect all the fans to the included PWM Y-Splitter cable (Image 2).
• Connect the Y-Splitter cable to any open 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard.

Fan_Pump_Connection

2. CONNECT FAN / PUMP RGB TO THE MOTHERBOARD (OPTIONAL)

If your motherboard supports +5V digital RGB protocol, you may use the included adapter to connect your pump and fans to the 3-pin connector on the bottom or top corner of your motherboard for RGB control. This port is commonly called JRGB, ARGB, or 5V RGB.

*The pump and fan LEDs get power from the motherboard or control device. If they are not connected, they will not illuminate.

FAQ

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

FAQ1_IMG

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?

FAQ2_IMG

For optimal performance, we recommend installing the radiator with the tubes positioned at the bottom of the case. 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.
