Setup and Installation
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Glacier One 360D30 X2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before proceeding.
1. Prepare the Motherboard
Identify the correct backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD). Secure the backplate to the motherboard from the rear, aligning it with the CPU cooler mounting holes.

2. Install Radiator and Fans
Mount the radiator to an available fan mounting location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). The D30 fans are designed to interconnect, simplifying their installation and cable management. Use the provided screws to secure the radiator and fans.

3. Mount the Pump Block
Ensure the pre-applied thermal paste on the copper cold plate is intact. If not, apply a small amount of the included Phanteks PH-NDC thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). Carefully place the pump block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure the pump block using the provided thumb screws or nuts, tightening them in a cross pattern until snug.

4. Cable Management
Connect the pump's 3-pin DC cable to an available fan header on your motherboard (typically labeled "PUMP_FAN" or "CPU_OPT"). Connect the D-RGB PWM Pump Fan 6-pin cable to the appropriate D-RGB header on your motherboard or a compatible D-RGB controller. Utilize the included tube clips to guide the tubing and fan cables for a clean setup.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Glacier One 360D30 X2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler operates automatically, controlled by your motherboard's fan and pump headers. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to manage fan speeds based on CPU temperature for optimal performance and noise levels.
D-RGB Lighting Control
The D-RGB lighting can be controlled via compatible motherboard software (if connected to a D-RGB header) or through a dedicated Phanteks D-RGB controller (sold separately). Refer to your motherboard's manual or the Phanteks website for specific software instructions.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your AIO cooler.
- Dust Removal: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fans using compressed air. Ensure the fans are not spinning during cleaning to prevent damage.
- Tubing Inspection: Visually inspect the tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.
- Fan Blades: Gently wipe fan blades with a soft, dry cloth if dust accumulation is visible.
- Coolant: The AIO cooler is a closed-loop system and does not require coolant refills or maintenance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| High CPU Temperatures | Improper pump block mounting; insufficient thermal paste; dust accumulation on radiator; fans not spinning. | Re-seat pump block, reapply thermal paste; clean radiator and fans; check fan connections and BIOS settings. |
| Fans Not Spinning / D-RGB Not Lighting Up | Loose cable connections; incorrect header connection; software/driver issue. | Verify all power and D-RGB cables are securely connected to the correct headers; update motherboard BIOS/drivers; check D-RGB software settings. |
| Unusual Noise from Pump/Fans | Air bubbles in loop (pump); fan bearing noise; fan hitting cables. | Orient radiator higher than pump (if possible) to allow air to settle; check for cable interference with fans; if noise persists, contact support. |
