د نصبولو لارښود

This section outlines the general installation process. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type. Refer to your motherboard manual for additional guidance.

۱. خپل سیسټم چمتو کړئ

1. خپل کمپیوټر بند کړئ او ټول کیبلونه پرې کړئ.
2. خپل کمپیوټر قضیه پرانیزئ.
3. Remove any existing CPU cooler. Clean the CPU surface thoroughly to remove old thermal paste using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

2. Install Backplate (Intel/AMD)

Identify the correct backplate and mounting screws for your CPU socket (Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115X/1366 or AMD AM5/AM4).

1. Position the backplate on the rear side of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
2. From the front side of the motherboard, insert the appropriate standoffs through the mounting holes and secure them to the backplate.

۲. د تودوخې پیسټ تطبیق کړئ

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

۵.۳. کولر نصب کړئ

1. Carefully place the E400 Plus cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes on the cooler's base with the standoffs.
2. Secure the cooler using the provided mounting screws. Tighten screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. The front fan can be removed for easier installation if needed, then reattached.

۴.۴. مینه وال او ARGB سره وصل کړئ

The E400 Plus features a 7-pin connector for simplified cable management.

1. Connect the 7-pin cable from the cooler to the designated header on your motherboard or ARGB controller. This cable typically handles both fan power (PWM) and ARGB lighting.

د ARGB رڼا کنټرول

The dual 120mm fans feature Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting.

1. If connected to an ARGB header on your motherboard, you can control the lighting effects using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome RGB).
2. If connected to a dedicated ARGB controller (not included), refer to the controller's manual for lighting adjustments.

د PWM فین کنټرول

The fans are Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled, allowing your motherboard to dynamically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature. This optimizes cooling performance while minimizing noise.

Image: Details of the high-efficiency PWM fans, showing regular and reverse fan speeds, noise level (37.1 dBA Max), and a service life of 40,000 hours.

1. Ensure the 7-pin connector is properly connected to a CPU_FAN or similar header on your motherboard.
2. Adjust fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings for optimal performance and acoustics.

Intelligent Control Software

darkFlash provides optional software for enhanced control over the LED display and monitoring.

1. Download the software from the official darkFlash webسایټ: https://www.darkflash.com/driver
2. سافټویر نصب کړئ او په سکرین کې لارښوونې تعقیب کړئ.
3. Use the software to customize the LED display, monitor system parameters, and potentially adjust fan settings.

ساتنه

د کولر پاکول

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal cooling performance.

1. خپل کمپیوټر بند کړئ او د بریښنا سرچینې څخه یې جلا کړئ.
2. Carefully remove the fans from the heatsink.
3. Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins. Hold the can upright and use short bursts.
4. Clean fan blades with a soft cloth or cotton swab.
5. Reattach the fans securely.

فریکونسی: Clean every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments.

د تودوخې پیسټ بیا کارول

Thermal paste can degrade over time. Reapplying it every few years can improve thermal transfer.

1. Follow steps 1-3 from the "Prepare Your System" section of the Installation Guide.
2. Clean off old thermal paste from both the CPU and the cooler's base.
3. Apply new thermal paste as described in the "Apply Thermal Paste" section.
4. Reinstall the cooler.

د ستونزو حل کول

د CPU لوړه تودوخه

• Check Thermal Paste: Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly and is not dried out. Reapply if necessary.
• Verify Cooler Mounting: Confirm the cooler is securely mounted and making good contact with the CPU.
• د فین عملیات: Check if both fans are spinning. Ensure fan cables are properly connected to the motherboard.
• د هوا جریان: د خپل کمپیوټر په قضیه کې د هوا مناسب جریان ډاډمن کړئ.

Fans Not Spinning or ARGB Not Lighting Up

• د کیبل پیوستون: Verify the 7-pin connector is securely plugged into the correct header on the motherboard or ARGB controller.
• Motherboard Settings: Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure fan headers are enabled and ARGB headers are configured correctly.
• د سافټویر شخړه: If using multiple RGB software, they might conflict. Try uninstalling other RGB software or using only one.

د LED ښودنه کار نه کوي

• د کیبل پیوستون: Ensure the 7-pin connector is fully seated.
• سافټویر: If using the darkFlash control software, ensure it is installed correctly and running. Check for updates.
