3. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific CPU socket information.
3.1. Compatibility
The VALKYRIE V360 supports the following CPU sockets:
- Intel: LGA 115x, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 2011, LGA 2066
- AMD: AM4, AM5
3.2. General Installation Steps
- Prepare the CPU: Clean the CPU surface thoroughly. Apply the included thermal paste (GT-20B) to the center of the CPU in a pea-sized dot or thin line.
- Install Backplate: For Intel sockets, attach the appropriate backplate to the rear of the motherboard. For AMD, use the existing stock backplate if applicable.
- Attach Standoffs: Screw the correct standoffs into the backplate or motherboard mounting holes.
- Mount Radiator and Fans: Secure the three LCP blade fans to the radiator using the fan screws. Mount the radiator to an available fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or side) using the radiator screws.
- Install Water Block: Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening in a cross pattern until snug.
- Connect Cables:
- Connect the pump's 4-pin PWM cable to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
- Connect each fan's 4-pin PWM cable to available fan headers on your motherboard or a fan hub.
- Connect the S-RGB GEN2 lighting cables from the fans and water block to an ARGB header on your motherboard or the included controller.
- Connect the USB cable from the water block to an internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard for LCD screen functionality and software control.
- Cable Management: Route all cables neatly to ensure proper airflow and a clean build.
4. Operation
4.1. IPS LCD Screen
The 2.1-inch 480x480 resolution IPS LCD screen on the water block displays real-time system information such as CPU temperature, load, and other customizable metrics. It provides a high-definition display effect and can be personalized through the MYTH.COOL application software.
4.2. S-RGB GEN2 Lighting
The VALKYRIE V360 features comprehensively upgraded S-RGB GEN2 addressable lamp beads on the fans and decorative strips. These can be controlled and customized via software programming to create diverse and personalized lighting effects.
4.3. MYTH.COOL Control Center
The MYTH.COOL application software allows you to monitor system performance, customize the LCD display, and control the S-RGB lighting effects. It leverages GPU resources to create more display games and personalized DIY cold-head display effects.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your liquid cooler.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
- Tubing Inspection: Check the rubber water guide pipes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.
- Water Block Head: The water-cooling head features a replaceable magnetic upper cover, allowing for easy customization and access if needed.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VALKYRIE V360, consider the following common solutions:
- No Power/Lights: Ensure all power cables (pump, fans, RGB) are securely connected to the motherboard or controller. Check motherboard headers for proper function.
- High Temperatures: Verify the water block is securely mounted to the CPU and thermal paste is properly applied. Ensure fans are spinning and the radiator is free of dust. Check pump operation (listen for a faint hum or feel for vibrations).
- LCD Not Displaying: Confirm the internal USB 2.0 cable is correctly connected to both the water block and the motherboard. Ensure the MYTH.COOL software is installed and running.
- RGB Not Working: Check RGB cable connections. Ensure the RGB header on your motherboard or controller is enabled and configured correctly via software.
- Unusual Noise: Check for loose fan screws or cables interfering with fan blades. Ensure the pump is not running dry (though this is an AIO, extreme angles during operation can sometimes cause air bubbles).
