Setup Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your liquid cooler.
1. Fan & Radiator Mounting
Attach the fans to the radiator using the provided fan mounting screws. Ensure the fan orientation is correct for optimal airflow (typically pushing air through the radiator).
2. Waterblock Installation (Cold Head)
The STREAM VISION 360 features a tool-free magnetic installation for the cold head and screen module. The cold head also includes a built-in 60mm fan to cool the motherboard's VRM and memory modules.

- Intel LGA 115X/1200: Use the internal push bracket.
- Intel LGA 1700/1851: Use the middle hole bracket.
- Intel LGA 20XX (2011/2066): Use the external holes bracket with 20XX studs and Intel nuts.
- AMD AM4/AM5: Note: AMD motherboards should be installed with the original motherboard backplate. Use red plastic columns and AMD screws.
Apply a thin, even layer of the included TF7 thermal conductive silicone grease to the CPU IHS before mounting the cold head.
4. Cable Connections
- Pump Connection: Connect the pump power cable to the "AIO PUMP" or "CPU OPT" header on your motherboard.
- Fan Connection: Connect the fan cables to the appropriate fan headers on your motherboard (typically 4-pin PWM).
- LCD Screen Wiring: Connect the 9-pin USB cable from the waterblock to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This provides power and data communication for the LCD screen.

Operating Instructions
1. Software Installation
The LCD screen's functions and data display are controlled by the STREAM VISION software. Ensure the 9-pin USB cable is connected between the waterblock and the motherboard before proceeding.
- Download the software from the official Thermalright website: https://www.thermalright.com/support/download/
- Unzip the setup file and double-click to start the installation.
- After installation, double-click the shortcut icon on your desktop to run the software.
- The software is designed to auto-start with your operating system and reside in the background of the taskbar. Do not exit the program, as all LCD functions are controlled by it.

Maintenance
- Periodically check the radiator fins for dust accumulation and clean with compressed air to maintain optimal cooling performance.
- Inspect the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage.
- Ensure the fans are free from obstructions and spinning correctly.
- The liquid coolant is factory-sealed and generally does not require refilling or replacement during the product's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
- LCD Display Not Working / Unknown Error: If the LCD screen is not displaying correctly or encounters an unknown error, try restarting the display by unplugging and re-plugging the Type-C cable on the cold head. Ensure the 9-pin USB cable is securely connected to the motherboard.
- Cooling Performance Issues:
- Check fan connections and ensure they are spinning.
- Verify the pump is running (you might feel a slight vibration or hear a faint hum).
- Ensure the cold plate is making good contact with the CPU and thermal paste is properly applied.
- Clean any dust from the radiator fins.
- Software Not Detecting Cooler: Ensure the 9-pin USB cable is correctly connected to both the waterblock and the motherboard USB header. Reinstall the software if necessary.
