2. حفاظت جي ڄاڻ

• ڪنهن به جزو کي انسٽال ڪرڻ يا هٽائڻ کان اڳ هميشه پنهنجي ڪمپيوٽر مان بجلي بند ڪريو.
• Handle components with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Consider using an anti-static wrist strap.
• ننڍڙا حصا ۽ پيڪنگنگ مواد ٻارن کان پري رکو.
• وڌيڪ گرم ٿيڻ کان بچڻ لاءِ پنهنجي ڪمپيوٽر جي ڪيس اندر مناسب وينٽيليشن کي يقيني بڻايو.
• Do not attempt to modify the cooler or its components. Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty and pose safety risks.

3. پيڪيج مواد

Verify that all items are present in your Antec A40 Pro package:

• Antec A40 Pro CPU Cooler (Heatsink with pre-attached 92mm fan)
• Universal Mounting Brackets (for Intel and AMD sockets)
• Mounting Screws and Backplate
• Thermal Paste (often included in a small syringe)
• استعمال ڪندڙ جو دستياب (ھي دستاويز)

4. سيٽ اپ ۽ تنصيب

The Antec A40 Pro supports various Intel and AMD sockets, including AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+, LGA 1151, and AM4. The installation process may vary slightly depending on your motherboard and CPU socket type. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions regarding CPU cooler installation points.

4.1 تياري

1. توهان جي ڪمپيوٽر کي پاور بند ڪريو ۽ سڀني ڪيبلز کي ختم ڪريو.
2. مدر بورڊ تائين رسائي حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ پنهنجي ڪمپيوٽر ڪيس کي کوليو.
3. If replacing an existing cooler, carefully remove it and clean any old thermal paste from the CPU surface using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
4. Ensure your CPU is properly seated in its socket.

4.2 لاڳو ڪرڻ تھرمل پيسٽ

Apply a small amount of thermal paste (typically a pea-sized dot or a thin line) 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.

4.3 Mounting the Cooler

Follow these general steps for mounting. Specific bracket usage depends on your CPU socket:

1. For AMD Sockets (AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/FM2+/AM4):
   • Utilize the existing AMD retention bracket on your motherboard.
   • Attach the cooler's mounting clips to the plastic tabs of the AMD retention bracket.
   • Apply even pressure and secure the clips.
2. For Intel Sockets (LGA 1151 and others):
   • Install the appropriate Intel backplate behind your motherboard.
   • Secure the Intel mounting brackets to the cooler's base.
   • Align the cooler with the screw holes on the motherboard (which pass through the backplate).
   • Carefully lower the cooler onto the CPU, ensuring the thermal paste makes good contact.
   • اسڪرو کي ترچھي نموني ۾ مضبوط ڪريو جيستائين اهي مضبوط نه ٿين. وڌيڪ نه تنگ ڪريو.

4.4 فين کي ڳن Connectڻ

Connect the 4-pin fan cable from the Antec A40 Pro to the "CPU_FAN" header on your motherboard. This allows the motherboard to control the fan speed based on CPU temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels.

5. آپريٽنگ هدايتون

Once installed, the Antec A40 Pro operates automatically. The 4-pin PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan will adjust its speed based on the CPU temperature, as controlled by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quieter operation during lighter loads.

• Monitoring Temperatures: Use system monitoring software (e.g., HWMonitor, CPU-Z, or your motherboard's utility) to check CPU temperatures. Ideal idle temperatures are typically below 45°C, and under full load, they should remain below 80°C, though this can vary by CPU model.
• BIOS/UEFI سيٽنگون: You can fine-tune fan speed curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to customize the balance between cooling performance and noise.

6. سار سنڀال

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Antec A40 Pro cooler.

• مٽي هٽائڻ: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments) use compressed air to blow dust out of the heatsink fins and fan blades. Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the fan motor.
• حرارتي پيسٽ: The thermal paste typically lasts for several years. If you notice a significant increase in CPU temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This requires removing the cooler, cleaning the old paste, and applying new paste.
• فين جي چڪاس: Check the fan for any signs of wear, unusual noise, or reduced rotation speed. If the fan fails, it can often be replaced without replacing the entire heatsink.

7. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ

• اعليٰ سي پي يو گرمي پد:
  • Ensure the cooler is securely mounted and making full contact with the CPU.
  • پڪ ڪريو ته ٿرمل پيسٽ صحيح طرح سان لڳايو ويو آهي ۽ سڪي نه ويو آهي.
  • چيڪ ڪريو ته ڇا پنکڙو گھمي رهيو آهي. جيڪڏهن نه، پڪ ڪريو ته اهو CPU_FAN هيڊر سان صحيح طرح سان ڳنڍيل آهي.
  • Clean any dust accumulation from the heatsink fins and fan blades.
  • Confirm adequate airflow within your computer case.
• Fan Not Spinning or Making Unusual Noise:
  • Check the 4-pin fan connection to the motherboard.
  • Inspect for any cables or obstructions hitting the fan blades.
  • If the fan is making grinding or clicking noises, it may be failing and require replacement.
• Blue LED Not Lighting Up:
  • The LED is integrated with the fan power. If the fan is spinning but the LED is off, there might be an issue with the LED itself. This typically does not affect cooling performance.
