It is also compatible with high-end configurations and overclocking needs, improving the overall aesthetics and performance ceiling of the host.

Safety Tips

This product involves circuits, liquid pipelines, and precision hardware adaptation. Before use, please carefully read all contents of this manual and operate in strict accordance with the specifications to avoid safety issues such as hardware damage, liquid leakage, and short circuit caused by improper operation.

2. Function Introduction

The chassis water cooling system consists of a water block, circulating fluid, water pump, radiator, fan, and pipeline (integrated type with integrated pipeline, split type with assemblable pipeline). Its core functions are as follows, balancing heat dissipation efficiency, quiet experience, and ease of use:

• Efficient Heat Dissipation: Adopting the principle of liquid heat conduction, it has higher heat dissipation efficiency than traditional air cooling. It can quickly absorb the heat generated by core components such as CPU and GPU, transfer the heat to the radiator through the circulation system, and then discharge it out of the chassis by the fan. It can effectively control the hardware temperature under high load and overclocking conditions, avoid performance throttling and hardware aging caused by overheating, and is suitable for high-performance equipment such as high-end game hosts and design workstations.
• Quiet Operation: The water pump adopts a low-noise motor design, with weak noise during operation; the radiator fan supports intelligent speed regulation, running at low speed under low load and automatically speeding up under high load. The overall operating noise is much lower than that of traditional air cooling radiators, creating a quiet working environment for users.
• Stability and Durability: The circulating fluid adopts an anti-corrosion, anti-algae, and anti-freezing formula, which can effectively avoid scaling and corrosion on the inner wall of the pipeline and extend the service life of the system; core components (water block, water pump, radiator) are made of high thermal conductivity metal materials (copper/nickel/aluminum), with a solid structure and excellent sealing performance, reducing the risk of liquid leakage.
• Convenient Adaptation: The integrated water cooling is ready for installation out of the box without assembly, compatible with mainstream CPU sockets and chassis sizes; the split water cooling supports personalized pipeline layout, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the chassis space and hardware configuration to meet the personalized needs of DIY enthusiasts. Some models support RGB light effect adjustment to enhance the visual texture of the host.
• Dust-proof Protection: The closed circulation design can reduce dust entering the core heat dissipation area, reduce the probability of hardware dust accumulation, reduce the frequency of hardware maintenance, and avoid dust affecting heat dissipation efficiency, indirectly extending the service life of computer hardware.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1. Installation Preparation

1. Check Product Integrity: After unpacking, confirm that all components of the water cooling system are complete, including water block, radiator, fan, water pump (integrated in integrated type), pipeline, fixing screws, thermal grease, manual, etc. At the same time, check whether the pipeline is damaged, the connector is loose, and whether the surface of the radiator and water block has scratches or deformation.
2. Prepare Tools: A Phillips screwdriver, anti-static gloves, and alcohol cotton pads (for cleaning hardware contact surfaces) are required. For split water cooling, additional pipe cutting tools and heat guns (for bending hard pipes) are needed.
3. Confirm Hardware Compatibility: Confirm that the water cooling system is compatible with the computer chassis and CPU/GPU models, the radiator size (120mm/240mm/360mm, etc.) meets the requirements of the chassis installation position, the CPU water block matches the motherboard socket type (such as Intel LGA1700, AMD AM5, etc.), and the GPU water block (if any) matches the graphics card PCB model.

4.2. Installation Steps (for Integrated Water Cooling)

For split water cooling, please refer to the core process and operate in conjunction with the dedicated manual.

1. Power-off Preparation: Turn off the power of the computer host, unplug all power cables and data cables, open the host chassis, take out excess debris inside the chassis, and take anti-static measures (wear anti-static gloves).
2. CPU Surface Cleaning: Gently wipe the CPU surface with alcohol cotton pads to remove residual old thermal grease and dust, ensuring the surface is clean and free of debris to avoid affecting heat conduction effect.
3. Apply Thermal Grease: Take an appropriate amount of thermal grease (rice grain size or straight line type), evenly apply it on the CPU surface. Do not apply too thick to avoid thermal grease overflowing and contaminating the water block or motherboard.
4. Water Block Installation: Align the water block with the CPU position, gently press and fit it, fix the water block on the motherboard CPU bracket with matching screws. When tightening the screws, apply uniform force diagonally to avoid deflecting the water block or damaging the CPU.
5. Radiator and Fan Installation: Fix the fan on the radiator, plan the fan direction (it is recommended to exhaust air outward to speed up heat discharge), then install the radiator to the corresponding installation position of the chassis, and fix it firmly with screws to ensure that the radiator is not loose or shaking.
6. Pipeline Arrangement and Connection: Arrange the pipelines of the water cooling system neatly to avoid pipeline bending, twisting (to prevent affecting liquid circulation), ensure the pipeline length is appropriate without tension; check whether all connectors are tightened to ensure good sealing.
7. Liquid Leakage Test (Key Step): Do not connect the motherboard power supply, drive the water pump only with an independent power supply, let the water pump run for 1-2 hours, carefully observe all pipeline connectors, water block and radiator joints, and confirm that there is no liquid drop or water stain leakage. If liquid leakage is found, stop operation immediately, check the connectors and retighten them, and contact after-sales service if necessary.
8. Final Power-on: After the liquid leakage test is correct, reconnect all power cables and data cables, arrange the pipelines and lines inside the chassis, close the chassis, connect the host power supply, start the computer, and confirm that the water cooling system is running normally (water pump is running, fan is rotating, no obvious abnormal noise).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Daily Operation

1. Start-up and Shutdown: After the computer starts, the water cooling system starts automatically synchronously without manual operation; after the computer is shut down, the water cooling system stops running synchronously.
2. Status Check: The operating status of the water cooling system (water pump speed, fan speed, liquid circulation status) can be checked through the computer motherboard software or chassis indicator light. During normal operation, there is no obvious abnormal noise, and the fan speed is automatically adjusted with the hardware load.
3. Light Effect Adjustment (if available): For models supporting RGB light effects, the light effect color and mode can be adjusted through supporting software or chassis buttons to meet personalized visual needs. Avoid frequent mode switching during adjustment to reduce hardware loss.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Installation Notes

• Before installation, you must confirm that the computer is completely powered off and all power cables are unplugged to avoid short circuit, electric shock or hardware damage caused by live operation; take anti-static measures throughout the process, and do not touch the inside of the water block, motherboard circuit and CPU pins directly with hands.
• Violent installation or disassembly of the water cooling system is prohibited to avoid damaging core components such as pipelines, water blocks and water pumps; when tightening screws, apply moderate force, do not over-tighten to prevent screw slipping or damage to the motherboard and CPU.
• During installation, ensure that the pipeline is not bent, twisted or pulled, and the bending angle of the pipeline should not be too small (it is recommended to be no less than 90°) to avoid blocking the liquid circulation channel, affecting the heat dissipation effect or damaging the water pump.
• Liquid leakage test is a mandatory step. Do not connect the motherboard power supply if the liquid leakage test is not completed or liquid leakage is found, otherwise it may cause short circuit damage to core hardware such as motherboard, CPU and graphics card.
• The thermal grease should be applied in an appropriate and uniform amount, avoiding too much or too little. Too much will lead to poor heat conduction, and too little will lead to gaps on the contact surface, affecting the heat dissipation effect; do not touch the CPU surface and water block contact surface after applying thermal grease with hands.
• Do not disassemble the pipeline, water pump or radiator of the integrated water cooling by yourself, otherwise it will damage the sealing performance, cause liquid leakage, and lose the warranty qualification; the installation of split water cooling must be operated in strict accordance with the dedicated manual to ensure the pipeline connection is sealed.

6.2. Daily Use Notes

• Do not use the chassis water cooling in high temperature, humidity, dusty and corrosive gas environment to avoid affecting the product life, and prevent short circuit caused by humidity and radiator blockage caused by dust.
• Avoid collision and vibration of the host chassis during daily use to prevent loosening and damage of the water cooling system pipeline, leading to liquid leakage; when moving the host, handle it with care and avoid inverting the host.
• Regularly check the operating status of the water cooling system. If abnormal noise (such as creaking, friction sound, obvious bubble gurgling sound), liquid leakage, fan not rotating, abnormal temperature rise and other conditions are found, turn off the computer power immediately, troubleshoot the problem or contact after-sales service, and do not continue to use it.
• Do not add non-special circulating fluid such as tap water and mineral water to the water cooling system, only add the special circulating fluid for this product, otherwise it will cause pipeline scaling, corrosion, block the water channel, and damage the water pump and other core components.
• The circulating fluid of the integrated water cooling is of sealed design, no need to add it by yourself; for split water cooling, regularly check the circulating fluid level, add special circulating fluid in time when the level is too low, and exhaust air regularly to avoid bubbles affecting heat dissipation.
• Avoid long-term high-load operation of the computer (such as continuous overclocking for many days, long-term operation of large-scale games or design software), let the computer rest regularly to reduce the loss of the water cooling system and extend its service life.
• Unauthorized modification of the water cooling system is prohibited, including replacing non-special components, cutting pipelines, modifying water pumps, etc., otherwise it may cause problems such as liquid leakage and heat dissipation failure, and lose the warranty qualification.

6.3. Maintenance Notes

• Cleaning Cycle: Clean the dust on the radiator surface every 1-3 months. Compressed air can be used to blow air outward from the inner side of the radiator to remove dust, avoiding dust blocking the radiator fins and affecting the heat dissipation effect; check the pipeline connectors every 6 months to confirm that there is no loosening or leakage.
• Circulating Fluid Replacement: It is recommended to replace the special circulating fluid for split water cooling every 6 months to 1 year. When replacing, completely drain the old fluid, clean the pipeline with special cleaning agent, and then add new fluid to avoid impurities and scale in the old fluid blocking the water channel; the circulating fluid of integrated water cooling does not need to be replaced by yourself. If the circulating fluid is significantly reduced or turbid, contact after-sales service for processing.
• Long-term Shutdown Maintenance: If the computer is not used for a long time (more than 1 month), turn off the power, unplug the power cable, place the host in a dry and ventilated environment, start the computer to run for 10-15 minutes regularly (every 15 days), let the water cooling system circulate, and avoid pipeline blockage and water pump aging.
• Fault Maintenance: When a fault is found in the water cooling system, do not disassemble and repair it by yourself, especially the core components (water pump, water block). Contact the official after-sales service for inspection and repair by professional personnel.

ATTENTION: Not suitable for children aged 14 to touch after power is turned on.
