3. Safety Information

Please read and understand the following safety precautions before installing or operating the XPG Levante X 360 liquid cooler.

• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power from your computer before performing any installation or maintenance.
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Take precautions against ESD by grounding yourself before handling components.
• Liquid Handling: While the cooler is a sealed unit, handle it with care to prevent damage to the tubing or radiator, which could lead to leaks.
• Sharp Edges: Be aware of sharp edges on computer cases and cooler components during installation.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow within your computer case for optimal cooling performance.
• Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your CPU socket and computer case before installation.

4. Setup and Installation

The XPG Levante X 360 is designed for hassle-free installation. Follow these steps carefully for proper setup.

4.1 Prepare Your System

1. Power off your computer and disconnect all cables.
2. Open your computer case to access the motherboard and CPU area.
3. Remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface thoroughly to remove old thermal paste.

4.2 Install Mounting Hardware

Select the appropriate mounting bracket for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD). The cooler supports LGA 1700, 1200, 115X, 2066, 2011-3, 2011 for Intel, and AM5, AM4, TR4 for AMD.

1. Attach the correct backplate to the rear of your motherboard (for Intel sockets). AMD AM4/AM5 typically uses the stock backplate.
2. Secure the standoffs to the motherboard through the CPU cooler mounting holes.
3. Attach the chosen CPU bracket to the pump head.

4.3 Mount the Radiator and Fans

Determine the optimal mounting location for the 360mm radiator within your case (e.g., front, top).

1. If not pre-attached, mount the three 120mm ARGB fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure correct airflow direction (intake or exhaust) based on your case's ventilation strategy.
2. Secure the radiator assembly to your chosen mounting location in the PC case using the longer radiator screws.

4.4 Install the Pump Head

Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.

1. If thermal paste is not pre-applied, apply a small pea-sized amount to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
2. Place the pump head onto the CPU, ensuring even contact.
3. Tighten the thumbscrews or nuts in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

4.5 Connect Cables

Connect the pump and fan cables to your motherboard or ARGB controller.

• Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin power cable to the motherboard's CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header.
• Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables from the three 120mm fans to available fan headers on your motherboard or to a fan hub/controller.
• Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and pump head to an ARGB header on your motherboard (5V 3-pin) or to the included ARGB controller.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the XPG Levante X 360 operates automatically to cool your CPU.

• Initial Power On: After installation, power on your computer. The pump and fans should start operating. Check for any unusual noises or leaks.
• Fan and Pump Control: The 4-pin PWM fans and pump allow for speed control via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated software. Adjust fan curves to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
• ARGB Lighting: The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting on the fans and pump head can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or through the included ARGB controller.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your liquid cooler.

• Dust Removal: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Excessive dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Inspect Tubing: Occasionally check the tubing for any signs of kinks, cracks, or leaks.
• Fan Operation: Ensure all fans are spinning freely and quietly. Replace any fans that become excessively noisy or stop functioning.
• Pump Operation: Listen for any unusual noises from the pump. A properly functioning pump should operate quietly.
