3. Características

• Direct Contact Heat Pipes: Three direct contact heat pipes ensure efficient heat transfer from the CPU to the heatsink fins.
• Amplia compatibilidad de CPU: Supports Intel Core i5 / Core i3 / Core2 Extreme / Core2 Quad / Core2 Duo / Pentium / Celeron and AMD FX-Series / A-Series / Phenom II X4 / Phenom II X3 / Phenom II X2 / Phenom X4 / Phenom X3 / Athlon II X4 / Athlon II X3 / Athlon processors.
• High TDP Support: Capable of cooling CPUs with over 130W TDP.
• Control del ventilador PWM: The included fan operates between 800 and 2800 R.P.M. with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for automatic speed adjustment based on CPU temperature, balancing cooling performance and noise levels.
• Funcionamiento con bajo nivel de ruido: Fan noise level ranges from 17-35 dBA.
• Aluminum Fin Heatsink: Optimized aluminum fin design for maximum heat dissipation.

4. Configuración (Instalación)

Una instalación correcta es crucial para un rendimiento óptimo de refrigeración. Siga estos pasos cuidadosamente.

4.1. Preparación

1. Apagado: Asegúrese de que su computadora esté completamente apagada y desconectada de la fuente de alimentación.
2. Acceso a la placa base: Open your computer case to access the motherboard and CPU socket.
3. Retire el enfriador viejo: Si va a reemplazar un disipador existente, retírelo con cuidado y limpie cualquier resto de pasta térmica de la superficie de la CPU con alcohol isopropílico y un paño que no suelte pelusa.

4.2. Aplicación de pasta térmica

Apply a small amount of the included thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). A pea-sized dot is generally sufficient. Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.

4.3. Montaje del enfriador

The Hyper TX3 uses different mounting methods for Intel and AMD sockets.

For Intel LGA1156/775 Sockets:

1. Attach the appropriate Intel mounting brackets to the cooler base.
2. Align the cooler's push-pins with the holes around the CPU socket on the motherboard.
3. Press down firmly on each push-pin in a diagonal pattern until they click into place, securing the cooler.

For AMD AM3/AM2/940/939/754 Sockets:

1. Attach the AMD retention clips to the cooler base.
2. Hook one side of the cooler's retention clip onto the corresponding tab of the CPU retention module on the motherboard.
3. Apply gentle pressure and push down the lever on the other side of the retention clip to secure it to the second tab.

4.4. Conexión del ventilador

Connect the 3-pin fan connector from the Hyper TX3 fan to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard. Ensure the fan cable is routed away from moving parts and other components.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Once installed, the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 operates automatically.

• Automatic Fan Control: The fan's speed is controlled by your motherboard's PWM function, which adjusts fan RPM based on the CPU temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads.
• Configuración del BIOS: You may access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to fine-tune fan curves or monitor CPU temperatures. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions.

6. Mantenimiento

Regular maintenance helps maintain optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your CPU cooler.

• Eliminación de polvo: Periódicamente (por ejemplo, cada 3 a 6 meses), apague el ordenador y sople suavemente con aire comprimido el polvo de las aletas del disipador y las aspas del ventilador. Sujete las aspas para evitar que giren rápidamente durante la limpieza, ya que esto podría dañar el motor.
• Pasta térmica: Re-applying thermal paste is generally not required unless the cooler is removed or re-seated. If you do remove the cooler, clean both the CPU and cooler base thoroughly and apply new thermal paste.
