2.2 사전 설치 단계

1. 마더보드를 준비하세요: Ensure your motherboard is compatible with the cooler. The D240 supports Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115X and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets.
2. 기존 쿨러를 제거하세요: 기존 쿨러를 교체하는 경우, 쿨러를 조심스럽게 제거하고 이소프로필 알코올을 사용하여 CPU 표면에 남아 있는 기존 서멀 페이스트를 깨끗이 닦아내십시오.
3. 장착 하드웨어를 확인하십시오: Select the appropriate mounting bracket and screws for your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD).

2.3 라디에이터 및 팬 장착

1. Attach the two 120mm fans to the radiator using the provided fan screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is appropriate for your case (typically exhausting air out of the case).
2. Mount the radiator assembly to an available 240mm fan mount in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or side).

2. Attach the correct mounting bracket to the pump head. Ensure the protective film is removed from the copper base before installation.
3. Carefully place the pump head onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs on the motherboard.
4. Secure the pump head with the thumb screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.

2.5 배선 연결

Connect the pump and fan cables to your motherboard or an RGB controller as follows:

• 펌프 전력 : Connect the pump's 3-pin or 4-pin connector to the dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_OPT header on your motherboard.
• 팬 전원: Connect the fan cables to the 1-to-3 splitter cable, then connect the splitter to a CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN header on your motherboard.
• ARGB 조명: Connect the ARGB cables from the fans and pump head to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard or to the included RGB controller. Ensure correct pin alignment to prevent damage.
• RGB Controller Power: If using an RGB controller, connect it to a SATA power connector from your power supply.

3. 사용 설명서

3.1 초기 전원 켜기

After completing the installation and wiring, power on your computer. The fans and pump should start operating, and the ARGB lighting should illuminate. Monitor your CPU temperatures using system monitoring software to ensure proper cooling.

3.2 ARGB 조명 제어

The DARKROCK D240 features addressable RGB lights on both the fans and the water-cooling head. These can be controlled via:

• 메인보드 소프트웨어: If connected to a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you can synchronize and customize lighting effects using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
• Included RGB Controller: If your model includes a dedicated RGB controller, use its buttons or remote control to cycle through various lighting modes, colors, and effects.

3.3 PWM Smart Control

The adjustable PWM fans (800 RPM - 1800 RPM) automatically adjust their speed based on CPU temperature. This provides efficient cooling when needed and reduces noise during lighter loads. You can often fine-tune fan curves through your motherboard's BIOS settings or dedicated software.

4. 유지관리

정기적인 유지 관리는 액체 냉각기의 수명과 최적의 성능을 보장하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

• 먼지 청소: 라디에이터 핀과 팬 블레이드를 주기적으로 청소하여 먼지가 쌓이지 않도록 하세요. 먼지는 공기 흐름을 방해하고 냉각 효율을 저하시킬 수 있습니다. 압축 공기나 부드러운 브러시를 사용하세요.
• 튜빙 및 연결부 검사: Occasionally check the tubing for any signs of leaks or kinks. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
• 열전도 페이스트: While not frequently required, if you ever remove the pump head from the CPU, you will need to clean off the old thermal paste and apply new paste before reinstallation.

5. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your DARKROCK D240 CPU Liquid Cooler, consider the following:

• 전원 없음/조명 없음:
  • Check all power connections (pump, fans, RGB controller) to ensure they are securely plugged in.
  • Verify that the motherboard headers are supplying power (check BIOS settings).
  • If using an RGB controller, ensure it is receiving SATA power.
• 높은 CPU 온도:
  • Confirm the pump is running (you might feel a slight vibration or hear a low hum).
  • Ensure the pump head is securely mounted to the CPU and thermal paste was applied correctly.
  • Check fan operation and ensure they are spinning and providing adequate airflow.
  • 라디에이터 핀에 묻은 먼지를 깨끗이 닦아내세요.
• 비정상적인 소음:
  • 소음이 팬에서 나는지, 펌프에서 나는지 확인하세요.
  • For fans, check for obstructions or loose mounting.
  • For pump noise, ensure it's not running dry (though unlikely with a sealed AIO).
• RGB Not Working/Incorrect Colors:
  • Verify the ARGB cables are connected to a 5V 3-pin header, not a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this can cause damage.
  • Check motherboard RGB software settings or RGB controller mode.
  • Ensure all ARGB connections are firm.
