2. Informações de segurança

• Desligue sempre a alimentação do computador antes de instalar ou remover qualquer componente.
• Handle the cooler and CPU with care to avoid damage to pins or components.
• Assegure um aterramento adequado para evitar descargas eletrostáticas (ESD).
• Mantenha fora do alcance de crianças.
• Do not operate the cooler if the fan blades are obstructed or damaged.

3. Conteúdo da embalagem

Verifique se todos os itens estão presentes no seu pacote:

• AMD Wraith Max CPU Cooler with pre-applied thermal paste (or a small tube of thermal compound).
• RGB LED connection cable (may vary by version, e.g., 4-pin or 5-pin).
• Mounting brackets (if not pre-attached or integrated with the cooler). Note: Some versions may require existing motherboard mounting hardware.

5. Configuração e instalação

Follow these steps carefully to install your AMD Wraith Max Cooler. It is recommended to install the cooler with the motherboard removed from the PC case for easier access, especially if you are not experienced with CPU cooler installations.

1. Prepare a placa-mãe: Ensure your motherboard has the standard AMD AM4 retention bracket installed. If not, install the appropriate backplate and retention clips according to your motherboard's manual.
2. Clean CPU Surface: If replacing an old cooler, carefully clean any old thermal paste from the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS) using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
3. Aplicar pasta térmica: The Wraith Max Cooler often comes with pre-applied thermal paste. If not, apply a small pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU's IHS. Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the cooler will spread it evenly.
4. Posicione o refrigerador: Carefully align the cooler over the CPU, ensuring the mounting clips on the cooler align with the retention bracket tabs on the motherboard.
5. Prenda bem o cooler:
   • Hook the non-lever side of the cooler's mounting clip onto the corresponding tab of the motherboard retention bracket.
   • While applying gentle, even pressure, push down the lever on the opposite side of the cooler until it locks onto the second tab of the retention bracket. This step may require firm pressure.
6. Conecte a alimentação do ventilador: Connect the 4-pin fan cable from the cooler to the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard.
7. Conecte o cabo RGB: Connect the RGB LED cable from the cooler to the appropriate RGB header on your motherboard (e.g., 4-pin 12V RGB header). Refer to your motherboard manual for the correct header location and type.

6. Instruções de operação

Once installed, the AMD Wraith Max Cooler operates automatically, adjusting fan speed based on CPU temperature. The RGB LED lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software.

• Operação do ventilador: The fan speed is controlled by the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system software, typically based on CPU temperature. Ensure the fan is spinning freely after system startup.
• Controle de iluminação RGB:
  • Install the RGB control software provided by your motherboard manufacturer (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
  • Use the software to customize the color, effects, and brightness of the RGB LEDs on your Wraith Max Cooler.
  • If your motherboard lacks an RGB header or compatible software, the cooler may default to a specific color (e.g., red) or remain unlit, depending on the specific cooler version.

7. Manutenção

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal cooling performance and extends the lifespan of your cooler.

• Limpeza de pó: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more often in dusty environments) use compressed air to clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades. Ensure the fan does not spin rapidly during cleaning to prevent damage to the bearings.
• Pasta térmica: Thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice increased CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This involves carefully removing the cooler, cleaning old paste from both the CPU and cooler base, and applying new paste before reinstallation.
• Inspeção do ventilador: Check the fan for any signs of damage, unusual noises, or obstructions. Replace the cooler if the fan is damaged or malfunctioning.

8. Solução De Problemas

• Altas temperaturas da CPU:
  • Ensure the cooler is securely mounted and making good contact with the CPU.
  • Verify that the fan is spinning. If not, check the fan power connection to the motherboard.
  • Check if thermal paste was applied correctly or needs reapplication.
  • Clean any dust buildup from the heatsink fins.
  • Garanta uma circulação de ar adequada dentro do gabinete do seu PC.
• A ventoinha não está girando:
  • Check the 4-pin fan cable connection to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.
  • Verify fan settings in the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI.
  • Certifique-se de que as pás do ventilador não estejam obstruídas.
• RGB Lights Not Working/Incorrect Color:
  • Check the RGB LED cable connection to the motherboard's RGB header. Ensure it's connected to the correct type of header (e.g., 12V GRB for 4-pin).
  • Verify that your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
  • Ensure the RGB cable is fully seated and not damaged.
