4. Panduan Pemasangan
Before starting, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific details on CPU and cooler installation if needed.
4.1 Persediaan Am
- Carefully unbox all components and verify against the package contents list.
- Remove any existing CPU cooler and clean the CPU surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove old thermal paste.
- Remove the protective film from the cooler's base before applying thermal paste.

4.2 Platform-Specific Installation
4.2.1 Intel LGA1700/1200/115X Installation
- Adjust the Intel backplate according to your CPU socket (LGA1700 or LGA115X/1200). The video demonstrates adjusting the backplate pins.
- Install the backplate on the rear of the motherboard, aligning the holes.
- From the front of the motherboard, install the appropriate standoffs (marked "1700" or "115X" in the video) onto the backplate screws.
- Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU.
- Place the Intel mounting bracket over the standoffs and secure it with the provided screws.
- Pasang klip kipas pada kipas.
- Carefully remove the protective sticker from the cooler's base.
- Mount the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting bracket. Secure it by tightening the screws evenly in a cross pattern until snug.

4.2.2 AMD AM4/AM5 Installation
Nota: For AMD platforms, the original AMD motherboard backplate is required and is not provided in the cooler's accessories package.
- Ensure the original AMD backplate is installed on your motherboard.
- Install the AMD standoffs (orange in the video) onto the motherboard's CPU cooler mounting holes.
- Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU.
- Place the AMD mounting bracket over the standoffs and secure it with the provided screws.
- Pasang klip kipas pada kipas.
- Carefully remove the protective sticker from the cooler's base.
- Mount the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning it with the mounting bracket. Secure it by tightening the screws evenly in a cross pattern until snug.

4.3 Fan Installation and Wiring
- Attach the fan to the heatsink using the provided fan clips. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for optimal airflow (typically blowing towards the rear exhaust fan of your case).
- Connect the 4-pin PWM fan power cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.
- For ARGB models, connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. If your motherboard does not have a 5V ARGB header, the fan will operate without RGB lighting.

5. Operasi
Once installed, the DEEPCOOL AG400 cooler will automatically regulate its fan speed based on CPU temperature via the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal from your motherboard. This ensures efficient cooling while minimizing noise.
5.1 ARGB Lighting Control (ARGB Models Only)
For models with Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, the lighting effects can be controlled through your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Razer Chroma). Ensure the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.

6. Penyelenggaraan
Penyelenggaraan tetap membantu memastikan prestasi optimum dan jangka hayat penyejuk CPU anda.
- Pembersihan Habuk: Periodically clean the heatsink fins and fan blades to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and cooling performance. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
- Tampal Terma: Reapply thermal paste if you remove the cooler for any reason. The thermal paste included is sufficient for one application.
- Fan Longevity: The fan is designed for a long operational life of approximately 100,000 hours. If fan noise increases significantly or performance degrades, consider inspecting or replacing the fan.
7. Penyelesaian masalah
- Kipas Tidak Berpusing:
- Check if the 4-pin PWM fan cable is securely connected to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
- Ensure the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to enable the CPU fan.
- No RGB Lighting (ARGB Models):
- Verify that the 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Note that this is different from a 12V RGB header.
- Check your motherboard's RGB software to ensure lighting effects are enabled and configured.
- If your motherboard lacks a 5V ARGB header, the fan will function without lighting.
- Suhu CPU Tinggi:
- Ensure the cooler is properly seated on the CPU and the mounting screws are tightened evenly.
- Sahkan bahawa pes haba telah digunakan dengan betul dan sekata.
- Check for excessive dust buildup on the heatsink fins and fan blades, and clean if necessary.
- Confirm that the fan is spinning at appropriate speeds (check BIOS/UEFI or monitoring software).
- Isu Keserasian:
- Ensure your CPU socket is listed as compatible (LGA1700, 1200, 115X, AM4, AM5).
- If upgrading from a different cooler model (e.g., AG200), ensure you use the correct mounting hardware provided with the AG400, as mounting mechanisms may differ.
8. Petua Pengguna
- The AG400 features a biased heat pipe design to perfectly avoid solid-state drives (SSDs), allowing for easier installation and compatibility in compact builds.
- The cooler's two-way constant heat balance technology ensures efficient heat dissipation whether your PC case is oriented vertically or horizontally.
- For optimal performance, ensure good case airflow with adequate intake and exhaust fans.
- If you prefer a non-RGB setup, the fan will still function normally without the ARGB cable connected to the motherboard.
