2. Install the Radiator in Your PC Case

Mount the radiator assembly to an available fan mounting location in your PC case (e.g., top, front, or rear). Use the appropriate screws for your case. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the radiator and fans.

3. Васлаки CPU-ро омода кунед

1. Identify your CPU socket type (Intel LGA or AMD AM).
2. Install the correct backplate (if required) and mounting brackets for your socket type onto the motherboard.
3. Clean the CPU surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust or old thermal paste.
4. Apply a small amount of the provided thermal paste to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).

4. Насос/пластинаи хунуккуниро насб кунед

1. Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting holes on the brackets.
2. Secure the pump/cold plate with the appropriate screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. Connect the pump's 4-pin power cable to the designated CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.

Дастурҳои амалиётӣ

Once installed, the Pure Loop 3 liquid cooler operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan and pump control settings. For optimal performance and acoustics, it is recommended to configure these settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI.

• Фаъолияти насос: The PWM pump features a 6-pole motor designed for quiet and efficient operation. Ensure the pump is connected to a dedicated AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header that provides continuous power or is configured for PWM control based on CPU temperature.
• Амалиёти мухлисон: The two Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM high-speed fans are daisy-chained for simplified cable management. Connect them to a single PWM fan header. Configure a fan curve in your BIOS/UEFI to balance cooling performance and noise levels according to your preferences.
• Оғози ибтидоӣ: After installation, power on your system and monitor CPU temperatures using monitoring software. Ensure the pump is running and fans are spinning. A slight gurgling sound may be heard initially as air bubbles are purged from the loop; this should subside quickly.

Нигоҳдорӣ

The be quiet! Pure Loop 3 is designed for low maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure long-term performance.

• Порт пур кардан: The Pure Loop 3 features an easy-to-access refill port on the pump unit. Over time, a small amount of coolant may evaporate. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures or hear unusual pump noises, you may need to top up the coolant. Use only high-quality, non-conductive liquid cooling fluid specifically designed for AIO systems. Refer to the be quiet! website for recommended coolant types and detailed refill instructions.
• Тафтиши қубур: Occasionally inspect the flexible sleeved tubes for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage.

Мушкилкушо

If you encounter issues with your Pure Loop 3 liquid cooler, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Ҳарорати баланди CPU:
  • Ensure the pump is running and connected correctly to a motherboard header.
  • Verify that the fans are spinning and installed with the correct airflow direction.
  • Check if the cold plate is making proper contact with the CPU. Re-seat if necessary, ensuring thermal paste is applied correctly.
  • Inspect the radiator for dust buildup and clean if necessary.
  • Check coolant levels via the refill port if temperatures remain high after other checks.
• Unusual Noises (Gurgling, Whining):
  • A slight gurgling sound during initial startup is normal as air purges. If it persists, gently tilt your PC case to help trapped air move to the radiator.
  • Ensure the pump is not running at excessively high RPMs if controllable.
  • Check fan blades for obstructions or damage.
• Мухлисон чарх намезананд:
  • Verify fan cables are securely connected to the motherboard header or adapter.
  • Check BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure fan control is enabled and not set to a very low RPM curve at idle temperatures.
• Насос кор намекунад:
  • Ensure the pump's 4-pin cable is securely connected to the correct motherboard header (AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN).
  • Check BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the pump header is enabled and receiving power.
