Setup and Installation

Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to the detailed diagram included with your product for specific mounting instructions for your CPU socket type.

1. Prepare Motherboard: Install the appropriate backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket (Intel LGA 2066/2011/1700/1200/1156/1155/1151/1150 or AMD AM5/AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2).
2. Apply Thermal Paste: Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
3. Mount Water Block: Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning it with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided thumb screws.

4. Install Radiator and Fans: Mount the radiator to an available fan mount location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Attach the fans to the radiator using the long screws. The cable-integrated daisy-chain design allows fans to connect directly to each other, minimizing cable clutter.

5. Connect Cables:
   • Connect the pump's 3-pin power cable to an available fan header on your motherboard (e.g., AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN).
   • Connect the fan's PWM cable to a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard.
   • Connect the ARGB cable from the fans/pump to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller.
6. Cable Management: Utilize the integrated daisy-chain design and included cables to manage wiring neatly within your PC case.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered on, the TH240 V2 ARGB cooler will automatically begin circulating coolant and cooling your CPU. The fans will adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, controlled by your motherboard's PWM settings.

ARGB Lighting Control

The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting on the fans and pump 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 a compatible external ARGB controller. This allows for synchronization of lighting effects across your system and customization of colors and patterns.

Maintenance

The Thermaltake TH240 V2 ARGB All-in-One Liquid Cooler is designed for minimal maintenance.

• No Refill Required: The low evaporation tube effectively decreases the loss of coolant, meaning no refills are required throughout the product's lifespan under normal operating conditions.
• Dust Cleaning: Periodically inspect the radiator fins and fans for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust, ensuring optimal airflow and cooling performance.
• Hose Inspection: Occasionally check the hoses for any signs of kinks or damage.
