3. Safety Information
Observe the following safety guidelines during installation and operation:
- Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before installation.
- Handle components with care to avoid damage.
- Refer to your motherboard manual for specific fan and ARGB header locations.
- Avoid touching the fan blades while they are spinning.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the sealed liquid cooling loop.
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Eskimo Pro 360mm AIO liquid cooler.
4.1 Pre-Installation
- Check Case Compatibility: Ensure your PC case has sufficient space to mount a 360mm radiator (typically at the top or front).
- Prepare CPU: Clean any old thermal paste from your CPU and CPU cooler mounting area on the motherboard.
4.2 Mounting the CPU Block
- Identify the correct mounting bracket for your CPU socket (Intel LGA 1700/1851, 1200/115X, 2011/2066 or AMD AM4/AM5).
- Attach the appropriate backplate to the rear of your motherboard, if required by your socket type.
- Secure the standoffs to the motherboard.
- Apply a small amount of the provided GF10 high-conductivity thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Carefully place the CPU block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes.
- Secure the CPU block with the retention screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug.

4.3 Installing Radiator and Fans
- Attach the three Squama 2501 ARGB fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case's cooling strategy (intake or exhaust).
- Mount the radiator assembly into your PC case using the longer radiator screws.

4.4 Connecting Cables
- Pump Power: Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin connector to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for the correct header.
- Fan Power: Connect the PWM cables from the Squama 2501 fans to the CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN headers on your motherboard, using the provided splitter cable if necessary.
- ARGB Lighting: Connect the ARGB cables from the CPU block and fans to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard, using the provided splitter cable if necessary. Do not connect to a 12V RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Eskimo Pro 360mm AIO cooler operates automatically to maintain optimal CPU temperatures.
5.1 Initial Power-On
After completing the installation, power on your computer. The fans and pump should start operating, and the ARGB lighting on the CPU block and fans should illuminate.
5.2 ARGB Lighting Control
The ARGB lighting is motherboard-synchronized. Use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting effects and colors.

5.3 Fan and Pump Speed Control
The fans are PWM controlled, and the pump speed is regulated by the motherboard. You can adjust fan and pump curves through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated software to optimize for noise levels and cooling performance.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your AIO cooler.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are securely connected and not interfering with fan operation or airflow.
- Visual Inspection: Occasionally inspect the tubing for any signs of wear or leaks. The low-volatility polymer tubing with nylon-braided mesh is designed for durability.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Eskimo Pro 360mm AIO cooler, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- High CPU Temperatures:
- Ensure the CPU block is properly seated and making full contact with the CPU.
- Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly.
- Check that fans are spinning and oriented for optimal airflow.
- Confirm the pump is receiving power and operating.
- Pump Noise:
- AIO pumps can sometimes produce noise due to air bubbles in the loop. Try gently tilting or shaking your PC case while it's running to help dislodge air bubbles.
- Adjust pump speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI. Lower speeds may reduce noise.
- Ensure the radiator is mounted higher than the CPU block if possible, to keep air bubbles away from the pump.
- ARGB Lighting Not Working:
- Verify all ARGB cables are securely connected to the 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard.
- Ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
- Check for any physical damage to the ARGB cables or connectors.
