FAQ
- How do I know the direction of the airflow of the fan?
An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of airflow. - Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?
Re-installation of the cooler will require you to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and re-apply the XTM70 thermal paste (sold separately). - What orientation should I install my radiator?
The best way to install a radiator is with the tubes on the bottom of the case, though you can install it with the tubes in any position, including an inverted radiator, as long as the highest point in the radiator is visibly higher than the CPU pump
- My cooler and fans are blinking red or not functioning. What do I do?
Please double check all connections between the cooler and fans. Ensure that the cooler is updated to the most recent firmware via iCUE.
