4. Persediaan dan Pemasangan

This section details the steps required to install the water block onto your NVIDIA RTX 3090 TI FTW3 Ultra graphics card.

4.1. Persediaan

1. Carefully remove your graphics card from your computer system.
2. Remove the stock cooler and backplate from the graphics card. Refer to your graphics card manufacturer's instructions for this step.
3. Clean the GPU die and all VRAM/VRM components thoroughly to remove any old thermal paste or residue using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

4.2. Applying Thermal Pads and Paste

1. Cut the provided thermal pads according to the dimensions specified in the included diagram (if applicable) or the water block's instructions for your specific GPU model.
2. Apply the thermal pads to the VRAM and VRM components on the graphics card PCB. Ensure full coverage and good contact.
3. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the center of the GPU die. A pea-sized amount is typically sufficient.

4.3. Mounting the Water Block

1. Carefully align the water block with the mounting holes on the graphics card PCB. Ensure the GPU die makes contact with the copper cold plate and all thermal pads are properly seated.
2. Gently lower the water block onto the graphics card.
3. Secure the water block using the provided mounting screws and washers. Tighten screws in a diagonal pattern to ensure even pressure, but do not overtighten.

4.5. Connecting Digital RGB Lighting

1. Connect the digital RGB cable from the water block to the appropriate 3-pin 5V addressable RGB header on your motherboard or a compatible RGB controller.
2. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly to avoid damage.

4.6. Integrating into the Cooling Loop

1. Install appropriate fittings (not included) into the G1/4" ports on the water block.
2. Connect the water block into your existing or new custom liquid cooling loop using compatible tubing.
3. Ensure all connections are secure and fittings are tightened to prevent leaks.

4.7. Ujian Kebocoran

1. Before powering on your computer, fill your liquid cooling loop with coolant.
2. Use a dedicated leak testing tool or run the pump independently (without powering the rest of the system) for at least 24 hours.
3. Visually inspect all connections and components for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately before proceeding.

5. Arahan Operasi

Once the water block is successfully installed and leak-tested, you can power on your system. The water block will passively cool your GPU as long as the liquid cooling loop is operational.

• Monitor your GPU temperatures using appropriate software to ensure optimal cooling performance.
• Manage the digital RGB lighting effects through your motherboard's software or a connected RGB controller.

6. Penyelenggaraan

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your liquid cooling system.

• Penggantian Bahan Penyejuk: It is recommended to replace the coolant in your loop every 6-12 months, depending on the coolant type and usage.
• Pembersihan Sistem: Periodically inspect the water block and other loop components for any signs of buildup or discoloration. If necessary, drain the loop and clean components with distilled water or a specialized cleaning solution.
• Pemeriksaan Visual: Regularly check tubing and fittings for wear, cracks, or loose connections.

7. Penyelesaian masalah

Bahagian ini menangani isu biasa yang mungkin anda hadapi.

7.1. High GPU Temperatures

• Periksa Operasi Pam: Ensure your pump is running and circulating coolant.
• Gelembung Udara: Bleed any air bubbles from the loop. Tilt your system gently to help move air to the reservoir.
• Thermal Paste/Pads: Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly and thermal pads are making good contact. Re-seat the water block if necessary.
• Radiator Performance: Ensure your radiator fans are spinning and the radiator fins are clean and unobstructed.

7.2. Kebocoran

• Identify Source: Immediately power off your system and locate the source of the leak.
• Ketatkan Kelengkapan: Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
• Periksa Tiub: Check tubing for cuts, cracks, or improper seating. Replace damaged tubing.

7.3. Pencahayaan RGB Tidak Berfungsi

• Semak Sambungan: Ensure the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable is correctly connected to the motherboard or controller.
• Konfigurasi Perisian: Verify that your motherboard's RGB software or external controller is properly configured and enabled.
• Kuasa: Confirm the ARGB header on your motherboard is receiving power.
