General Installation Steps:

1. Prepare CPU: Ensure your CPU is clean and free of old thermal paste. Apply the provided thermal paste to the center of the CPU.
2. Install Backplate (if required): For Intel sockets, install the appropriate backplate behind the motherboard.
3. Attach Mounting Brackets: Secure the correct mounting brackets to the pump head according to your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD).
4. Mount Pump Head: Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the screws with the backplate or standoffs. Tighten the screws in a cross pattern until snug.
5. Install Radiator: Mount the 240mm aluminum radiator to an available fan mount location in your PC case. Ensure proper airflow direction.
6. Install Fans: Attach the two 120mm PWM fans to the radiator. Connect the fan cables to the motherboard's fan headers.
7. Connect Power and ARGB: Connect the pump power cable to the motherboard's CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header. Connect the ARGB cable to a compatible motherboard ARGB header for lighting control.
8. Connect USB for Digital Display: Connect the digital display's USB cable to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is essential for the real-time temperature display and software functionality.

Operating Instructions

Initial Power On:

After completing the installation, power on your computer. The digital display on the pump head should illuminate and begin showing temperature readings. The ARGB lighting will also activate.

Fan and Pump Control:

• The 120mm PWM fans operate at speeds from 500 to 2000 RPM (±10%), automatically adjusting based on CPU temperature. This is controlled via your motherboard's BIOS or fan control software.
• The pump operates continuously to ensure optimal liquid circulation.

ARGB Lighting Control:

The Iota 240mm AIO supports ARGB independent control. Connect the ARGB cable to your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header. You can then manage the pump and fan lighting effects using your motherboard's lighting control software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).

Digital Display and Software

The Ocypus Iota L24 features a dot matrix digital display that provides real-time monitoring of your CPU or GPU temperature.

Ocypus Digital Software:

• The digital display function requires a connection to a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. Ensure this connection is secure.
• The Ocypus Digital software supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems.
• To download the software, search for "Ocypus" in your browser or refer to the product manual for the official Ocypus website. Locate "Ocypus Digital" and download the installation package.
• When installing the software, it is recommended to add it to your antivirus software's whitelist to prevent any conflicts.
• The software allows you to switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. (Maximum display temperature is 199°F).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your AIO cooler.

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and cooling efficiency. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
• Check Tubing: Inspect the liquid tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. Ensure connections are secure.
• Thermal Paste: While not frequently required, if you remove the pump head from the CPU, reapply a fresh layer of thermal paste before reinstallation.
• Software Updates: Keep the Ocypus Digital software updated to the latest version for improved features and stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Ocypus Iota L24 AIO cooler, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps.

• No Temperature Display:
  • Ensure the USB 2.0 cable from the pump head is securely connected to a motherboard USB 2.0 header.
  • Verify that the Ocypus Digital software is installed and running correctly.
  • Check if the software is whitelisted in your antivirus program.
• High CPU/GPU Temperatures:
  • Confirm that the pump is running (you may feel a slight vibration or hear a faint hum).
  • Check if the fans on the radiator are spinning. If not, ensure they are properly connected to the motherboard.
  • Verify that the pump head is securely mounted to the CPU and that thermal paste was applied correctly.
  • Ensure there is adequate airflow in your PC case and that the radiator fins are not obstructed by dust.
• ARGB Lighting Not Working:
  • Ensure the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard.
  • Check your motherboard's lighting control software to ensure ARGB effects are enabled and configured.
• Unusual Noises:
  • A slight hum from the pump is normal. Excessive gurgling or grinding noises may indicate air bubbles in the loop. Gently tilt your PC case to help dislodge air bubbles.
  • Ensure fan blades are not obstructed and are securely mounted.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Ocypus customer support for further assistance.
