6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your liquid cooling system.
6.1. Common Issues and Solutions
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor cooling performance | Incorrect installation of the liquid cooling system, insufficient thermal paste, pump not running, fans not spinning. | Verify correct installation of the liquid cooling system, ensuring the water block is properly seated on the CPU and thermal paste is applied correctly. Check pump and fan connections to the motherboard. |
| Coolant leakage | Loose fittings, damaged tubing, manufacturing defect. | Check whether all fittings are securely tightened. If leakage persists or tubing is damaged, contact customer service immediately. Do not attempt to repair yourself. |
| Display not working or frozen | USB connection issue, software malfunction, display hardware issue. | Ensure the 9-pin USB cable from the cold head is securely connected to the motherboard. Restart the TRCC software. If the issue persists, unplug the Type-C interface on the cold head to perform a hardware restart. |
| Fans not spinning or RGB not working | Incorrect fan/ARGB connections, motherboard header issue, software control issue. | Verify the 4-pin PWM fan connector and +5V 3-pin ARGB connector are correctly plugged into the motherboard. Check motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings and TRCC software for fan and RGB control. |
