Setup and Installation
Compatibility Check
Ensure your motherboard socket is compatible: Intel LGA 2066/1700/1200/115X or AMD AM5/AM4.
Pre-Installation
Carefully unpack all components. Refer to the included physical manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions specific to your CPU socket type.
Clean the CPU surface thoroughly before applying thermal grease.
Mounting the Water Block
Apply the provided TG-60 liquid metal thermal grease evenly to the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
Position the water block onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting holes.
Secure the water block using the appropriate mounting hardware for your socket. Tighten screws evenly in a cross pattern until snug, but do not overtighten.
Connecting Cables
Connect the USB 2.0 connector (9-Pin) from the water block to an available header on your motherboard.
Connect the 4-Pin Molex connector to your power supply.
Integrate the water block into your custom liquid cooling loop, ensuring proper inlet and outlet connections.
Operation
Initial System Startup
After installation, fill your liquid cooling loop and perform a leak test before powering on your system.
Once the system is powered on, install the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software.
Software Control (TT RGB Plus 2.0)
Use the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software to monitor coolant temperature via the built-in sensor.
Customize the 12 addressable LEDs to achieve desired lighting effects.
The software allows for various lighting modes and color manipulation.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the water block and tubing for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or blockages.
- Coolant Quality: Ensure the coolant level is adequate and replace it according to your liquid cooling system's recommendations to prevent buildup and maintain optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior of the water block with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Microfin Inspection: If performance degrades, consider disassembling the water block (refer to advanced guides) to inspect and clean the 0.2mm microchannels, ensuring proper coolant flow.
Troubleshooting
No RGB Lighting / Software Issues
- Check Connections: Ensure the USB 2.0 connector and 4-Pin Molex power connector are securely attached.
- Software Installation: Verify that TT RGB Plus 2.0 software is correctly installed and updated to the latest version.
- USB Port: Try connecting the USB cable to a different internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.
- Device Manager: Check Device Manager in Windows for any unrecognized devices or errors related to the water block.
High CPU Temperatures
- Thermal Grease Application: Re-check the application of thermal grease. Ensure it covers the entire CPU IHS and is evenly spread.
- Mounting Pressure: Verify the water block is securely mounted with even pressure across the CPU. Overtightening or undertightening can affect contact.
- Coolant Flow: Ensure there are no air bubbles or blockages in the liquid cooling loop that could impede coolant flow through the water block.
- Pump Function: Confirm that your liquid cooling pump is operating correctly.
Leaks
- Immediate Action: If a leak is detected, immediately power down your system and disconnect power.
- Identify Source: Locate the source of the leak. Check all fittings, tubing connections, and the water block itself.
- Repair/Replace: Tighten loose fittings or replace damaged components. Do not power on the system until all leaks are resolved and affected components are dry.
