Safety Information

  • Ensure all power is disconnected from your computer before installation or maintenance.
  • Handle components with care to avoid damage.
  • Do not open the liquid cooling loop; it is a sealed system.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Refer to your motherboard and CPU manuals for additional compatibility and installation guidelines.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

  • Eskimo Pro 360mm Radiator with Integrated Pump/CPU Block
  • 3 x Squama 2501 ARGB Fans
  • Intel Mounting Brackets (LGA1700/1200/115X/2011/2066)
  • AMD Mounting Brackets (AM5/AM4)
  • Backplate for Intel Sockets
  • Mounting Screws and Standoffs
  • Thermal Paste (GF10 high-conductivity syringe applicator)
  • Fan Splitter Cable
  • ARGB Controller (if included with specific model variant)
  • User Manual

Setup and Installation

1. Prepare Your System

  • Power off your computer and disconnect all cables.
  • Open your PC case and remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface thoroughly of any old thermal paste.

2. Install Mounting Hardware

Select the appropriate mounting brackets and backplate for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD). Refer to the image below for bracket identification.

  • For Intel sockets, attach the backplate to the motherboard from the rear. Secure the standoffs from the front.
  • For AMD sockets, use the existing AMD backplate and attach the appropriate standoffs.
  • Attach the correct CPU block mounting arms to the pump unit.

3. Apply Thermal Paste

Apply a small amount of the included GF10 thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). A pea-sized dot is generally sufficient.

4. Mount the CPU Block/Pump

Carefully place the CPU block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided thumb screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug.

5. Install the Radiator and Fans

Mount the radiator to an available fan mounting location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Ensure proper airflow direction (intake or exhaust) based on your case's cooling design. Attach the three Squama 2501 ARGB fans to the radiator using the long screws provided.

6. Connect Cables

  • Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin connector to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
  • Connect the fan power cables to the fan headers on your motherboard or use the included fan splitter cable to connect them to a single header.
  • Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and CPU block to your motherboard's 5V ARGB header or to the included ARGB controller (if applicable). Ensure correct pin alignment to avoid damage.

Operating Instructions

Initial Power-On

After installation, close your PC case and reconnect all external cables. Power on your system. The pump and fans should start operating, and the ARGB lighting should illuminate. Monitor CPU temperatures using system monitoring software to ensure proper cooling.

ARGB Lighting Control

If connected to your motherboard's ARGB header, lighting effects can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). If using a standalone ARGB controller, refer to its specific instructions for lighting adjustments.

Fan and Pump Speed Control

Fan and pump speeds are typically controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through desktop software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. It is recommended to set the CPU_FAN/AIO_PUMP header to full speed or a performance profile to ensure the pump receives consistent power.

Maintenance

  • Dust Cleaning: 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 performance.
  • Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and do not obstruct airflow within the case.
  • Liquid Level: The Eskimo Pro is a closed-loop system and does not require coolant refills. Do not attempt to open the loop.
  • Thermal Paste: Re-applying thermal paste is generally not necessary unless the cooler is removed from the CPU. If re-installation occurs, clean old paste and apply new paste.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
High CPU Temperatures
  • Improper thermal paste application
  • Loose CPU block mounting
  • Fans not spinning or spinning too slow
  • Radiator fins clogged with dust
  • Pump not functioning
  • Reapply thermal paste
  • Ensure CPU block is securely mounted
  • Check fan connections and BIOS settings
  • Clean radiator fins
  • Check pump connection to CPU_FAN/AIO_PUMP header; ensure it's set to full speed.
Fans/ARGB not lighting up
  • Incorrect ARGB header connection (e.g., 12V RGB instead of 5V ARGB)
  • Loose ARGB cable connection
  • Software issue
  • Verify connection to a 5V ARGB header.
  • Reseat ARGB cables.
  • Check motherboard RGB software or ARGB controller settings.
Pump noise/gurgling sound
  • Air bubbles in the loop
  • Pump running at too low RPM
  • Orient the radiator higher than the pump if possible. Gently tilt the PC case to help move air bubbles.
  • Ensure pump is connected to a dedicated AIO_PUMP header or CPU_FAN header set to full speed in BIOS.
