4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your PCCOOLER GT360M Liquid CPU Cooler. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning installation.

4.1 Prepare the Motherboard

• Identify your CPU socket type (Intel LGA or AMD AM).
• For Intel sockets, install the appropriate backplate and standoffs.
• For AMD sockets, use the original motherboard backplate and install the AMD standoffs.

4.2 Mount the Radiator and Fans

• Attach the three 120mm ARGB PWM fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is correct for your case configuration (typically blowing air out of the case).
• Mount the radiator assembly to an available 360mm fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front).

4.3 Install the Pump/Cold Plate

• Apply a small amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
• Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning it with the standoffs.
• Secure the pump block with the appropriate mounting brackets and screws, ensuring even pressure.
• The LCD screen on the pump block is magnetic and can be rotated for optimal orientation.

4.4 Cable Connections

• Connect the pump power cable to the motherboard's dedicated PUMP_FAN header or a CPU_FAN header.
• Connect the fan PWM cables to the motherboard's fan headers (CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN, or a fan hub).
• Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and pump to your motherboard's 5V ARGB header or a compatible ARGB controller.
• Connect the USB 2.0 cable from the pump block to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is essential for LCD screen functionality and software control.

6. Maintenance

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

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
• Tubing Inspection: Check the EPDM composite liquid cooling tubes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. The EPDM material is designed for durability and pressure tolerance.
• Pump/Cold Plate: Ensure the pump block is securely mounted and the thermal paste contact remains good. Reapply thermal paste if the cooler is removed or reinstalled.
• Software Updates: Keep the PCCOOLER control software updated to ensure compatibility and access to new features or bug fixes.
