2.2 Water Block Installation

  1. Mametraka ny bracket: Attach the appropriate mounting bracket (Intel or AMD) onto the water block. The UNI Bracket supports both Intel and AMD sockets.
  2. Ampiharo ny Thermal Paste: Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
  3. Esory ny sarimihetsika miaro: Carefully remove the protective film from the copper base of the water block before mounting.
  4. Mount Water Block: Align the water block with the CPU and gently place it onto the motherboard.
  5. Secure amin'ny screws: Tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern until the water block is firmly secured. Do not overtighten.

3. Torolàlana miasa

Once installed, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID C360 V2 operates automatically to cool your CPU. The fans and pump adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, managed by your motherboard's fan control settings or MSI's software.

3.1 ARGB Control

The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting on the fans and water block can be customized using compatible motherboard software (e.g., MSI Mystic Light) or a dedicated ARGB controller (if included or purchased separately). Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific ARGB header locations and software instructions.

3.2 Offset Kit (Optional)

For Intel Core Ultra series processors, an adjustable offset kit is included to optimize contact with varying heat source positions, potentially reducing CPU temperatures by up to 4.8°C. Follow the specific instructions provided with the offset kit for installation.

4. Fikojakojana

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

  • Fanadiovana vovoka: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fan blades using compressed air. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
  • Fanaraha-maso ny fantsona: Check the evaporation-proof tubing for any signs of wear, kinks, or leaks. While designed to prevent coolant loss, occasional inspection is recommended.
  • Fanaraha-maso mpankafy: Ensure fans are spinning freely and quietly. Replace any noisy or malfunctioning fans.

5. Famahana olana

If you encounter issues with your liquid cooler, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Temperature CPU avo:
    • Ensure the water block is securely mounted and making good contact with the CPU.
    • Verify thermal paste application.
    • Check if radiator fans are spinning and properly connected.
    • Clean dust from the radiator fins.
  • tabataba paompy:
    • Ensure the pump is receiving adequate power.
    • Check for air bubbles in the loop (orient the radiator higher than the pump if possible).
    • The pump motor resonance elimination feature minimizes noise, but persistent unusual noise may indicate an issue.
  • ARGB Not Working:
    • Verify ARGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard or controller.
    • Ensure ARGB software is installed and configured correctly.
  • Fahasimban'ny mpankafy:
    • Check fan power connections.
    • Ensure fan speed control settings in BIOS or software are not set too low.
