Installation for Intel LGA1700/1851/1200/115X

1. Prepare Backplate: Adjust the screws on the Intel backplate to the appropriate position for your socket (LGA1700/1851/1200/115X). Install the backplate on the rear of the motherboard.
2. Install Standoffs and Brackets: Place the rubber spacers over the motherboard screw holes. Then, install the black LGA 1700 standoffs (or grey for LGA1200/115X) onto the backplate screws. Secure the Intel brackets with the tightening nuts.
3. Apply Thermal Paste: Clean the CPU surface thoroughly. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
4. Mount Heatsink: Remove the protective sticker from the heatsink's base. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting screws. Tighten the screws evenly in a cross pattern until secure.
5. Attach Fans: Use the provided fan clips to secure the two 120mm fans to the heatsink. Ensure the fans are oriented correctly for optimal airflow (typically pulling air through the heatsink towards the rear of the case).
6. Connect Fan Cables: Connect the fan power cables to the PWM fan splitter. Then, connect the splitter to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard for PWM control.

Installation for AMD AM4/AM5

Note: The original backplate of your motherboard is required for AMD installations. Remove the plastic retention module from the motherboard, but keep the stock backplate.

1. Prepare Motherboard: Remove the plastic retention module from the motherboard, but ensure the stock backplate remains in place.
2. Install Standoffs and Brackets: Place the AMD red standoffs onto the backplate screws. Then, install the AMD brackets and secure them with the tightening screws.
3. Apply Thermal Paste: Clean the CPU surface thoroughly. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
4. Mount Heatsink: Remove the protective sticker from the heatsink's base. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting screws. Tighten the screws evenly in a cross pattern until secure.
5. Attach Fans: Use the provided fan clips to secure the two 120mm fans to the heatsink. Ensure the fans are oriented correctly for optimal airflow.
6. Connect Fan Cables: Connect the fan power cables to the PWM fan splitter. Then, connect the splitter to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard for PWM control.

RAM Clearance and Dimensions

The FROZN A620 is designed with consideration for RAM compatibility. It provides 36mm clearance for standard RAM modules. With its cut-out fin design, it can accommodate RAM modules up to 63mm in height. The overall height of the cooler is 153mm, making it suitable for most PC cases.

Operating Instructions

The ID-COOLING FROZN A620 Black CPU cooler operates automatically via its PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans. Connect the fan splitter to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header to enable this functionality. The motherboard will then control the fan speed based on CPU temperature, optimizing for both cooling performance and noise levels.

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fans are designed for quiet operation and stable performance. Under typical loads, the noise level is rated at 29.85dB(A) maximum, ensuring a quiet computing experience.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your CPU cooler.

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically inspect the heatsink fins and fan blades for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Excessive dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Thermal Paste: The thermal paste applied during installation typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures or if you remove the cooler for any reason, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste from both the CPU and the heatsink base and apply a fresh layer.
• Fan Inspection: Check fan cables for secure connections and ensure fans spin freely without obstruction.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CPU cooler, consider the following:

• High CPU Temperatures:
  • Ensure the heatsink is securely mounted and making proper contact with the CPU.
  • Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly.
  • Check that both fans are spinning and connected to the CPU_FAN header.
  • Clean any dust accumulation from the heatsink fins and fans.
  • Confirm adequate airflow within your PC case.
• Excessive Fan Noise:
  • Ensure fan cables are not obstructing fan blades.
  • Check for dust buildup on fan blades.
  • Verify fan settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or operating system software.
• Installation Difficulties:
  • Double-check that you are using the correct mounting hardware for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD).
  • Refer to the official installation video and step-by-step instructions carefully.
  • Ensure the motherboard's stock backplate is used for AMD installations.
