4. Setup and Installation

The Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 Black CPU Water Cooler is designed for broad compatibility with both Intel and AMD platforms. Follow these steps for proper installation.

4.1. Compatibility Check

Ensure your motherboard and CPU socket are compatible with the cooler:

• Intel: LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200, LGA2011, LGA2066, LGA1700, LGA1851
• AMD: AM4, AM5

The cooler's dimensions are: Radiator: 397mm x 120mm x 52mm (including fan), Cold Header: 63mm x 63mm x 60mm, Fan: 124mm x 120mm x 25mm. Ensure your PC case has adequate space for a 360mm radiator.

4.2. Installation Steps

Before beginning, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Refer to the included installation video (if available) for visual guidance.

1. Prepare Motherboard: Install the appropriate backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket (Intel or AMD).
2. Apply Thermal Paste: Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
3. Mount Water Block: Carefully place the water block onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs. Secure it with the provided screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug.
4. Mount Radiator: Install the radiator with the pre-installed fans into your PC case. Common mounting locations include the top or front of the case. Use the appropriate screws to secure the radiator.
5. Connect Fans and Pump:
   • Connect the fan PWM cables to your motherboard's fan headers. Use the included Y-type adapter cable if your motherboard has insufficient fan headers.
   • Connect the pump's power cable to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
   • Connect the RGB cables from the fans and water block to your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header.
6. Cable Management: Use the conduit pipe snaps to organize the water tubes and other cables for a clean build and improved airflow.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 Black will automatically manage CPU temperatures. Here's how to optimize its operation:

5.1. Fan and Pump Control

The TL-M12 PWM fans and the water pump are designed for high-speed operation to ensure efficient cooling. Their speed is controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated fan control software, based on CPU temperature.

• PWM Control: The fans utilize PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for precise speed control, allowing them to adjust automatically according to system load.
• Noise Level: At maximum speed, the running noise is ≤28.2 dB(A), ensuring quiet operation under most loads.

5.2. RGB Lighting Control

Both the water block and fans are equipped with addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. This can be controlled and synchronized by supported motherboard software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) via the 5V 3-pin ARGB header connection.

6. Maintenance

The Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 Black is designed for minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance:

• Dust Removal: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
• Tube Inspection: Check the water tubes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. The tubes are protected by polymer sleeves to minimize liquid evaporation and extend lifespan.
• Connections: Ensure all power and RGB connections remain secure.
