4. Installation Guide

This section provides general installation steps. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific header locations and clearances.

4.1. Prepare Your System

1. Power off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
2. Open your computer case.
3. Remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface of any old thermal paste using isopropyl alcohol.

4.2. Install the Radiator and Fans

Determine the best mounting location for the 360mm radiator in your case (typically top or front). Ensure adequate clearance for the radiator and fans.

Figure 4.1: Radiator detail.

1. Attach the three 120mm fans to the radiator using the provided long screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's cooling strategy (intake or exhaust).
2. Mount the radiator assembly to your chosen location in the PC case using the appropriate screws.

4.3. Install the CPU Water Block

Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). The cooler may come with pre-applied thermal paste; if so, remove the protective film.

Figure 4.2: CPU water block with copper base.

1. Select the correct mounting brackets and backplate for your CPU socket (Intel LGA 115X/1200/1700/2011/2066 or AMD AM4/AM5).
2. Secure the backplate behind the motherboard (if required for your socket).
3. Align the water block with the CPU and the mounting holes on the motherboard.
4. Gently place the water block onto the CPU and secure it with the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.4. Cable Management and Connections

Properly connect all cables to the motherboard and RGB controller.

Figure 4.3: Installed cooler in a PC case.

• Connect the pump's 3-pin power cable to an available fan header on your motherboard (e.g., "AIO_PUMP" or "CPU_FAN"). Ensure it receives full power.
• Connect each fan's 4-pin PWM cable to the RGB controller.
• Connect the RGB cables from the fans and pump to the RGB controller.
• Connect the RGB controller to your power supply via a SATA power connector.
• If your motherboard supports RGB synchronization, connect the RGB controller's sync cable to the appropriate 3-pin 5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the cooler will automatically regulate fan and pump speeds based on CPU temperature. The RGB lighting can be controlled via the included remote or motherboard software if synchronized.

5.1. RGB Lighting Control

The included remote control allows you to customize the RGB lighting effects without needing software.

Figure 5.1: RGB fans and remote control.

• ON/OFF: Power on or off the RGB lighting.
• Color Selection: Choose from various static colors.
• Mode Selection: Cycle through different dynamic lighting effects (e.g., Rainbow, Gradient, Breath).
• Speed/Brightness: Adjust the speed of dynamic effects or the brightness of static colors.
• Motherboard Sync: If connected to a compatible motherboard header, the lighting can be controlled via motherboard RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync). Ensure the remote is set to motherboard sync mode if applicable.

6. Maintenance

The Rosewill PB360-RGB is a closed-loop system and requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic cleaning can help maintain optimal performance.

• Dust Removal: Periodically use compressed air to clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades. Ensure fans are not spinning rapidly during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Fan Inspection: Check fan blades for any obstructions or excessive dust buildup.
• Tubing and Connections: Visually inspect the tubing and connections for any signs of leaks or damage. While rare in closed-loop systems, it's good practice.
