3. Setup and Installation

Before installation, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Always handle components with care.

3.1. Fan and Radiator Mounting

  1. Attach the three TL-E12B-S V2 fans to the radiator using the long fan mounting screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is as desired (typically blowing air through the radiator and out of the case, or into the case for intake).
  2. Mount the assembled radiator and fan unit to your PC case using the short radiator mounting screws. Common mounting locations include the top or front of the case.

3.2. Intel LGA 115X/1200 Installation

  1. Prepare the Intel backplate. For LGA 115X/1200, adjust the backplate to the correct position (use inner holes).
  2. Place the backplate on the rear of your motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
  3. Install the appropriate stand-offs (115X/1200 special black plastic columns) onto the backplate from the front side of the motherboard.
  4. Apply a small amount of the provided TF7 thermal grease to the center of your CPU's IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader).
  5. Place the Intel mounting bracket onto the cold head.
  6. Carefully place the cold head assembly onto the CPU, aligning the holes with the stand-offs.
  7. Secure the cold head with the 1700/115X screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

3.3. Intel LGA 1700/1851 Installation

  1. Prepare the Intel backplate. For LGA 1700/1851, adjust the backplate to the correct position (use outer holes).
  2. Place the backplate on the rear of your motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
  3. Install the appropriate stand-offs (1700/1851 special blue plastic columns) onto the backplate from the front side of the motherboard.
  4. Apply a small amount of the provided TF7 thermal grease to the center of your CPU's IHS.
  5. Place the Intel mounting bracket onto the cold head.
  6. Carefully place the cold head assembly onto the CPU, aligning the holes with the stand-offs.
  7. Secure the cold head with the 1700/115X screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

3.4. AMD AM4/AM5 Installation

  1. Remove the plastic retention modules from your motherboard, but keep the original AMD backplate in place.
  2. Install the appropriate stand-offs (red plastic columns) onto the original AMD backplate from the front side of the motherboard.
  3. Apply a small amount of the provided TF7 thermal grease to the center of your CPU's IHS.
  4. Place the AMD mounting bracket onto the cold head.
  5. Carefully place the cold head assembly onto the CPU, aligning the holes with the stand-offs.
  6. Secure the cold head with the AM4/AM5 screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

3.5. Cable Connections

  1. Connect the cold head pump power cable (4-pin PWM) to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
  2. Connect the fan power cables (4-pin PWM) to the CPU_FAN or other fan headers on your motherboard. You may use a PWM splitter if needed.
  3. Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and cold head to a compatible +5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller.
  4. Connect the 9-pin USB cable from the cold head to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is essential for the digital display functionality and software control.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Digital Display

The FROZEN MAGIC 360 features a digital display on the cold head that shows real-time CPU and GPU temperatures, as well as CPU occupancy. The display is magnetic and detachable, allowing for 360-degree rotation to ensure correct orientation regardless of pump position.
