3. Vodič za namestitev

Before starting, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged. Refer to your motherboard manual for CPU and RAM installation if not already done.

3.1 Pripravite matično ploščo

1. Remove any existing CPU cooler and clean off old thermal paste from the CPU IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) using isopropyl alcohol.
2. Določite vrsto vtičnice procesorja (Intel LGA ali AMD AM).

3.2 Namestite pritrdilno opremo

For Intel Sockets (LGA1700/115x/1200/2011/2066):

1. Namestite Intelovo zadnjo ploščo za matično ploščo in poravnajte luknje z luknjami za pritrditev podnožja procesorja.
2. Vstavite ustrezne distančnike skozi matično ploščo od spredaj in jih privijte v zadnjo ploščo.
3. Attach the Intel mounting brackets to the standoffs using the provided screws.

Za podnožja AMD (AM4/AM5):

1. Remove the plastic retention clips from the stock AMD backplate (keep the backplate).
2. Install the AMD standoffs onto the stock backplate.
3. Attach the AMD mounting brackets to the standoffs using the provided screws.

3.3 Nanos termalne paste

Apply a small, pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the CPU IHS. Do not spread it; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.

3.4 Mount the Heatsink

1. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes on the cooler base with the mounting brackets.
2. Hladilnik pritrdite tako, da vzmetne vijake diagonalno privijete, dokler niso tesno pritrjeni. Ne privijte jih premočno.

3.5 Install Fans and Connect Cables

1. Attach the two TL-K12 fans to the heatsink using the provided fan clips. Ensure the airflow direction is correct (typically blowing towards the rear of the case).
2. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cables to the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT (or CHA_FAN) headers on your motherboard. The Y-splitter cable can be used if only one CPU fan header is available.

4. Navodila za uporabo

Once installed, the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO operates automatically, controlled by your motherboard's PWM fan headers.

4.1 Nadzor hitrosti ventilatorja (PWM)

The TL-K12 fans utilize Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard to dynamically adjust fan speeds based on CPU temperature. This ensures optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise during lighter loads.

• You can configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through compatible software provided by your motherboard manufacturer.
• The fans operate at a maximum speed of 2150 RPM ±10% and produce a maximum noise level of ≤27dB(A).

4.2 Initial System Check

After installation, power on your system and enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify that the CPU temperature is within normal operating limits and that the fans are spinning correctly.

5. Vzdrževanje

Redno vzdrževanje pomaga zagotoviti dolgo življenjsko dobo in optimalno delovanje hladilnika procesorja.

5.1 Cleaning the Heatsink and Fans

Dust accumulation can impede cooling performance. It is recommended to clean the cooler every 6-12 months, or more frequently in dusty environments.

1. Izklopite računalnik in ga izključite iz stenske vtičnice.
2. Carefully remove the fans from the heatsink by detaching the fan clips.
3. Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins. Hold the can upright and use short bursts.
4. Clean the fan blades with a soft cloth or compressed air. Hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.
5. Reattach the fans to the heatsink.

5.2 Thermal Paste Reapplication

While not frequently required, reapplying thermal paste every few years can help maintain optimal thermal conductivity. If you notice significantly higher CPU temperatures, consider reapplying thermal paste.
