This section outlines the general installation process. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type. Refer to your motherboard manual for additional guidance.
1. ກະກຽມລະບົບຂອງເຈົ້າ
- ປິດຄອມພິວເຕີຂອງທ່ານ ແລະຕັດການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ສາຍທັງໝົດ.
- ເປີດກໍລະນີຄອມພິວເຕີຂອງທ່ານ.
- ເອົາເຄື່ອງເຮັດຄວາມເຢັນ CPU ທີ່ມີຢູ່ແລ້ວອອກ. ເຮັດຄວາມສະອາດໜ້າຜິວ CPU ຢ່າງລະອຽດເພື່ອເອົາກາວຄວາມຮ້ອນເກົ່າອອກໂດຍໃຊ້ເຫຼົ້າ isopropyl ແລະຜ້າທີ່ບໍ່ມີຂົນ.
2. Install Backplate (Intel/AMD)
Identify the correct backplate and mounting screws for your CPU socket (Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115X/1366 or AMD AM5/AM4).
- Position the backplate on the rear side of the motherboard, aligning the holes with the CPU socket mounting holes.
- From the front side of the motherboard, insert the appropriate standoffs through the mounting holes and secure them to the backplate.
3. ນຳໃຊ້ຢາລະບາຍຄວາມຮ້ອນ
Apply a small, pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). Do not spread it manually; the pressure from the cooler will distribute it evenly.
4. ຕິດເຄື່ອງເຢັນ
- Carefully place the E400 Plus cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes on the cooler's base with the standoffs.
- Secure the cooler using the provided mounting screws. Tighten screws in a diagonal pattern (e.g., top-left, bottom-right, top-right, bottom-left) until snug. Do not overtighten.
- The front fan can be removed for easier installation if needed, then reattached.
5. Connect Fans and ARGB
The E400 Plus features a 7-pin connector for simplified cable management.
- Connect the 7-pin cable from the cooler to the designated header on your motherboard or ARGB controller. This cable typically handles both fan power (PWM) and ARGB lighting.

Real-Time LED Digital Display
The top of the E400 Plus features a pixel-style LED display that shows your CPU temperature in real-time. This display can show temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

ການຄວບຄຸມໄຟ ARGB
The dual 120mm fans feature Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting.
Image: The darkFlash E400 Plus fans showcasing vibrant, colorful ARGB lighting effects, compatible with various motherboard sync technologies.
- If connected to an ARGB header on your motherboard, you can control the lighting effects using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome RGB).
- If connected to a dedicated ARGB controller (not included), refer to the controller's manual for lighting adjustments.
PWM Fan Control
The fans are Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled, allowing your motherboard to dynamically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature. This optimizes cooling performance while minimizing noise.
Image: Details of the high-efficiency PWM fans, showing regular and reverse fan speeds, noise level (37.1 dBA Max), and a service life of 40,000 hours.
- Ensure the 7-pin connector is properly connected to a CPU_FAN or similar header on your motherboard.
- Adjust fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings for optimal performance and acoustics.
Intelligent Control Software
darkFlash provides optional software for enhanced control over the LED display and monitoring.

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal cooling performance.
- ປິດຄອມພິວເຕີຂອງທ່ານ ແລະ ຖອດມັນອອກຈາກແຫຼ່ງພະລັງງານ.
- Carefully remove the fans from the heatsink.
- Use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins. Hold the can upright and use short bursts.
- Clean fan blades with a soft cloth or cotton swab.
- Reattach the fans securely.
ຄວາມຖີ່: Clean every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments.
Thermal Paste Reapplication
Thermal paste can degrade over time. Reapplying it every few years can improve thermal transfer.
- Follow steps 1-3 from the "Prepare Your System" section of the Installation Guide.
- Clean off old thermal paste from both the CPU and the cooler's base.
- Apply new thermal paste as described in the "Apply Thermal Paste" section.
- Reinstall the cooler.
