Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AIO cooler.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Glacier One 360M25-LCD, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Display on LCD:
  • Ensure the USB 2.0 header cable from the pump is securely connected to your motherboard.
  • Verify that the Nexlinq App is installed and running.
  • Check for any driver conflicts or Windows updates that might affect USB device recognition.
• High CPU Temperatures:
  • Confirm the pump is running (check pump speed in Nexlinq App or BIOS).
  • Ensure fans are spinning and correctly oriented for airflow.
  • Verify the pump/block is making proper contact with the CPU and thermal paste is correctly applied.
  • Check for dust buildup on the radiator.
• Fans Not Spinning or D-RGB Not Working:
  • Check all fan and D-RGB cable connections.
  • Ensure the D-RGB cable is connected to a compatible header or controller.
  • Verify fan speed settings in BIOS or through the Nexlinq App.
• Limited Data Displayed on LCD: The Nexlinq App currently supports display of CPU/GPU temperature, CPU/GPU fan speed, and pump speed. Additional data such as RAM usage or liquid temperature may be added in future software updates.
