- Mount the Radiator: Install the radiator to an available fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear).
- Install Cooling Fans: Attach the fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the airflow direction is correct for optimal cooling.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the fan and pump cables to the appropriate headers on your motherboard.
Wiring Diagrams:
Ensure correct wiring for fan and pump operation, including ARGB connections if applicable.
- AF-S240/AF-S360 Fan and Water Pump Wiring Diagram (without ARGB): Connect the 4-pin fan connectors to CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN headers and the 4-pin pump connector to AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header.
- NA-240/NA-360 ARGB Fan and Water Pump Wiring Diagram: In addition to power connections, connect the ARGB cables to a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard for lighting control.

4. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered on, the TEUCER RGB CPU Water Cooler will automatically begin cooling your CPU. The fans and pump will adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, managed by your motherboard's fan control settings or dedicated software.
RGB Lighting Control:
The cooler features colorful lighting effects. If connected to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard, you can control and synchronize the lighting using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).

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.
- Check Tubing: Inspect the FEP polymer tubes for any signs of kinks, damage, or leaks. While designed to be durable, regular checks are recommended.
- Fan Operation: Ensure all fans are spinning freely and quietly. Replace any noisy or malfunctioning fans.
- Pump Operation: Listen for any unusual noises from the pump. A constant, low hum is normal, but grinding or gurgling sounds may indicate an issue.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TEUCER RGB CPU Water Cooler, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- High CPU Temperatures:
- Check if the pump is running (listen for a hum, feel for vibrations).
- Ensure fans are spinning and correctly oriented for airflow.
- Verify the cooling head is securely mounted to the CPU.
- Reapply thermal paste if necessary.
- Check BIOS/UEFI settings for fan and pump speed control.
- Fans Not Spinning/RGB Not Working:
- Ensure all fan and RGB cables are securely connected to the motherboard headers.
- Check motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings for fan control and RGB settings.
- If using ARGB, ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
- Test fans individually if possible.
- Unusual Noises:
- Gurgling/Bubbling: This can occur during initial startup as air settles. Tilt your PC case gently to help move air bubbles to the radiator. If persistent, it might indicate low coolant or a pump issue.
- Grinding/Whining: Could indicate a failing pump or fan bearing.
- Leaks: Immediately power off your system if you detect any liquid leaks. Contact customer support.

8. User Tips
- Compatibility: The TEUCER RGB CPU Water Cooler is compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD CPUs, including the Ryzen 5 5600X (AM4 socket). Always double-check your motherboard's socket type before purchase and installation.
- RGB Customization: The cooler supports Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. If your motherboard has a 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you can connect the cooler's RGB cables to it and use your motherboard's software to customize lighting effects and colors. This allows for dynamic and personalized lighting beyond a single static color.
- Airflow Optimization: When installing the radiator fans, consider your PC case's overall airflow. Typically, mounting the radiator with fans pushing air through it and out of the case (exhaust) or pulling air into the case (intake) can impact cooling performance. Experiment to find the best configuration for your setup.
- Cable Management: Take time to manage the fan and pump cables neatly. This not only improves the aesthetic of your build but also prevents cables from interfering with fan blades or airflow.
