Installation and Setup
Before starting, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific details on CPU cooler installation.
1. Prepare Mounting Hardware
Identify the correct mounting hardware for your CPU socket type (Intel LGA or AMD AM).

2. Install Backplate (Intel Only)
- For Intel LGA 115X/1200: Use the provided Intel LGA 115X/1700 backplate. Insert the standoffs into the inner holes for 115X/1200.
- For Intel LGA 1700/1851: Use the provided Intel LGA 115X/1700 backplate. Insert the standoffs into the outer holes for 1700/1851.
Note: This backplate is only for INTEL LGA: 1851, 1700, 115X, 1200.
3. Install Mounting Brackets on Water Block
Attach the appropriate Intel or AMD brackets to the water block. Ensure they are securely fastened.
4. Apply Thermal Grease
Apply a small amount of the provided Standard TF7 silicone grease to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). Spread it evenly into a thin layer or allow the pressure from the water block to spread it upon installation.
5. Mount Water Block
Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the screws with the standoffs. Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
6. Radiator and Fan Mounting
Mount the radiator to an available fan slot in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Use the provided cold row screws to secure the radiator. The fans are pre-installed on the radiator.

7. Cable Connections
- Pump Power: Connect the 4-pin PWM pump cable to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
- Fan Power: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables (from the radiator fans) to available fan headers on your motherboard or a fan controller.
- ARGB Lighting: Connect the +5V 3PIN ARGB lighting cable to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard.
- Digital Display Data/Power: Connect the 9-pin USB interface cable from the water block to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This provides power and data communication for the digital display.
CAUTION!!! Ensure all connections are secure before powering on your system.
Operating Instructions
Digital Display
The water block features an intelligent digital display that shows real-time CPU and GPU temperature parameters. This display is controlled by the software.

TRCC Control Software
The FROZEN MAGIC DIGITAL Series Water-Cooled Digital Display Control Software (TRCC) allows for real-time data monitoring, data transmission, and power-on/off functions for the digital display.
- Ensure the 9-pin USB interface cable from the water block is connected to your motherboard.
- Download the software from the official Thermalright website: https://www.thermalright.com.cn/support/download/
- Unzip the downloaded file and double-click the installer to install the software.
- After installation, double-click the "TRCC" icon on your desktop to run the software.
- The software will automatically start up when your computer boots up and will run in the background in the taskbar.

Important Note: Do not close or exit the TRCC software. Closing the software may lead to issues with data monitoring and control of the digital display. It also includes a warning about potential damage to components if the product leaks, which could void warranty if software is not running.
Maintenance
- 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.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and not interfering with fan operation or airflow.
- Liquid Check: As an AIO unit, the liquid is sealed and does not require refilling. However, regularly inspect the tubes and connections for any signs of leakage or damage.
- Software Updates: Check the Thermalright official website periodically for updated versions of the TRCC software to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
Troubleshooting
- Digital Display Not Working / Showing Incorrect Data:
- Ensure the 9-pin USB interface cable is securely connected to both the water block and the motherboard.
- Verify that the TRCC software is installed and running in the background.
- If encountering unknown or uncontrollable situations, try unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable to restart the display.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure USB headers are enabled.
- Fans Not Spinning / RGB Not Lighting Up:
- Check all 4-pin PWM fan connectors and +5V 3PIN ARGB lighting connectors for secure connections to the motherboard or controller.
- Ensure fan headers on the motherboard are supplying power.
- Verify ARGB software (e.g., motherboard's RGB software) is correctly configured.
- High CPU/GPU Temperatures:
- Ensure the water block is properly seated on the CPU and the mounting screws are tightened evenly.
- Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly and adequately.
- Check that the radiator fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (pushing air through the radiator).
- Ensure there is no excessive dust buildup on the radiator fins.
- Confirm the pump is running (you might feel a slight vibration or hear a faint hum).
User Tips
- Always ensure the TRCC software is running in the background after system startup to maintain real-time monitoring and control of the digital display.
- If the digital display behaves unexpectedly, a quick fix can often be to unplug and re-plug the USB cable connected to the water block.
- For optimal cooling performance, ensure your PC case has good airflow and that the radiator fans are configured to either push cool air into the case or exhaust hot air out, depending on your system's overall cooling strategy.
