5. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged. Refer to the diagrams for visual guidance.
5.1 Pre-installation Steps
- Unpack all components and verify against the package contents list.
- Remove the protective film from the cold plate of the water block.
- For Intel LGA 115X/1200/1700/1851, take the cap from the bottom of the backplate before mounting.
- For AMD AM4/AM5 motherboards, the original motherboard backplate should be used.
5.2 Water Block Mounting
The Stream Vision water cooling uses a magnetic design for tool-free disassembly and installation of the cold head screen module.
- Install Backplate (Intel only): Place the appropriate Intel backplate behind the motherboard, aligning the holes.
- Install Standoffs: Screw the correct standoffs for your CPU socket onto the backplate (Intel) or directly into the motherboard (AMD).
- Apply Thermal Paste: Apply a small amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Mount Water Block: Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided nuts/screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug.
5.3 Fan and Radiator Mounting
- Attach the TL-H12-X28-R7 fans to the radiator using the long fan mounting screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case (typically blowing through the radiator and out of the case).
- Mount the radiator assembly to an available fan mount location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Use the appropriate screws to secure the radiator.
5.4 Wiring Connections
- Pump Power: Connect the pump power cable to the 'AIO_PUMP' or 'CPU_OPT' 4-pin header on your motherboard.
- Fan Power: Connect the radiator fans to available 4-pin PWM fan headers on your motherboard. You may use a fan splitter if necessary.
- LCD Screen Wiring: Connect the 9-pin USB cable from the water block to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This provides power and data communication for the LCD screen.
6. Software Installation and Operation
The LCD screen's functionality and customization are controlled by the Stream Vision software. Ensure the 9-pin USB cable is connected to your motherboard before proceeding.
- Download Software: Download the latest Stream Vision control software from the official Thermalright website: https://www.thermalright.com.cn/support/download/
- Install Software: Unzip the downloaded file and double-click the installer to begin the installation process. Follow the on-screen prompts.
- Run Software: After installation is complete, double-click the shortcut icon on your desktop to launch the software.
- Automatic Startup: The software is designed to auto-start with your operating system and run in the background. Do not close or exit the program, as this will disable LCD functions.
7. Operating Instructions
The 3.5-inch IPS LCD screen provides real-time monitoring of CPU/GPU temperatures, clock speeds, and other system parameters. It also supports personalized picture and animation displays.
- Real-time Monitoring: Once the software is running, the LCD will display system information such as CPU temperature, GPU temperature, CPU usage, and more.
- Customization: Use the Stream Vision software to customize the display. You can choose from various themes, set custom backgrounds, define text presentations, and update themes via the cloud.
- High-Quality Display: The 640x480 resolution IPS LCD panel accurately restores colors and offers stable viewing angles.
8. Maintenance
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to prevent dust buildup, which can impede cooling performance.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and not interfering with fan operation or airflow.
- Thermal Paste: While the included thermal paste is high quality, if you ever remove the water block, it is recommended to clean off old thermal paste and apply new paste before reinstallation.
- Liquid Check: Regularly inspect the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage.
9. Troubleshooting
9.1 LCD Screen Issues
- Screen not displaying/frozen: If you encounter an unknown or uncontrollable situation with the LCD screen, you can perform a hardware restart by unplugging and re-plugging the Type-C port on the cold head.
- No display or incorrect information: Ensure the 9-pin USB cable is securely connected to both the water block and the motherboard. Verify that the Stream Vision software is installed and running in the background.
9.2 Cooling Performance Issues
- High CPU temperatures: Check if the water block is properly seated on the CPU and that thermal paste was applied correctly. Ensure fans are spinning and the pump is operating (you may hear a faint hum). Clean any dust from the radiator.
- Fan noise: Ensure fan screws are tightened properly. If excessive noise persists, check fan blades for obstructions.
10. User Tips
- For optimal performance and LCD functionality, always ensure the Stream Vision software is running in the background after system startup.
- Experiment with different fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS or through software to find the best balance between cooling and noise for your system.
- Utilize the customizable LCD screen to monitor critical system parameters at a glance, enhancing your system's aesthetic and functionality.
