Aratohu Tāuta
Follow these steps carefully to install your Thermalright Assassin X 120R SE PLUS CPU Cooler. The installation process varies slightly depending on your CPU socket type (AMD or Intel).
1. AMD AM4/AM5 Tāutatanga
- Whakapaia Papa Matua: For AMD AM4/AM5, remove the existing plastic brackets around the CPU socket. Keep the motherboard backplate in place.
- Tāutahia ngā tūāpapa: Place the four red plastic standoffs onto the motherboard's CPU cooler mounting holes.
- Tāutahia ngā taiapa whakarewa: Position the two metal brackets over the plastic standoffs and secure them with the provided AM4 screws. Tighten them evenly.

2. Intel LGA1700/115X/1200/1851 Installation
- Prepare Backplate: Adjust the mounting hole position on the universal backplate to match your Intel socket (e.g., 115X or 1700).
- Tāutahia te papamuri: Place the adjusted backplate on the backside of your motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket.
- Tāutahia ngā tūāpapa: From the front side of the motherboard, install the four blue Intel plastic standoffs into the backplate.
- Tāutahia ngā taiapa whakarewa: Position the two metal brackets over the plastic standoffs and secure them with the provided Intel screws. Tighten them evenly.

3. Common Procedures (All Sockets)
- Hoatu te Puhui Ngaaahu: Apply a small amount of thermal compound (pea-sized dot or line method) to the center of your CPU's IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader).
- Tango i te whakapiri werawera: Ensure you remove the protective sticker from the heatsink's base before mounting.
- Maunga Heatsink: Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting nuts with the screws on the installed brackets. Tighten both nuts evenly with a screwdriver until snug. Do not overtighten.
- Tāutahia ngā Pā: Attach the fan clips to the 120mm PWM fans. Then, clip the fans onto the heatsink, ensuring proper airflow direction (typically pushing air through the heatsink towards the rear of the case).
- Honoa ngā Taura Pā: Connect the 4-pin PWM power cables from the fans to the CPU_FAN header(s) on your motherboard.

Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Once installed, the Thermalright Assassin X 120R SE PLUS CPU Cooler operates automatically. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, providing efficient cooling while minimizing noise. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to allow PWM control for the CPU fan header.
- Whakaara Tuatahi: After installation, power on your computer. Monitor CPU temperatures using system monitoring software to confirm proper cooler function.
- Tautuhinga BIOS/UEFI: Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to verify that the CPU fan is detected and operating in PWM mode. You can often customize fan curves here to suit your preference for noise and cooling performance.
- Rererangi: Ensure that the fans are oriented correctly to draw cool air through the heatsink and exhaust warm air out of the case. The dual fan configuration (one intake, one exhaust reverse airflow fan) creates strong airflow.
Te tiaki
Ko te tiaki i nga wa katoa ka awhina i te mahi tino pai me te roa o to whakamatao CPU.
- Tango Puehu: Periodically clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades using compressed air or a soft brush. Accumulation of dust can reduce cooling efficiency.
- Tirohanga Kaiwhai: Check the fans for any signs of wear, damage, or unusual noise. Ensure fan clips are securely attached.
- Whakapiri Weariki: While not frequently required, if you remove the heatsink for any reason, it is recommended to clean off the old thermal paste from both the CPU and heatsink base and apply a fresh layer before reinstallation.
