Usage Instructions

How to Use the Component in a Circuit

  1. Mount the Radiator and Fans: Secure the radiator to your case using the provided screws. Attach the fans to the radiator, ensuring they are oriented to push or pull air through the radiator fins as desired.

  2. Install the Pump and CPU Block: Place the pump unit over the CPU, aligning it with the mounting holes. Use the appropriate mounting hardware for your CPU socket and secure the pump in place.

  3. Connect the Tubing: Attach the tubing to the pump and radiator, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.

  4. Fill the System: Fill the reservoir with coolant, and ensure all air is bled from the system. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the filling process.

  5. Power Connections: Connect the pump's 3-pin power connector to the power supply, and the fans' 4-pin PWM connectors to the motherboard's CPU fan header or a dedicated fan controller.

  6. Test the System: Power on the system and monitor for leaks and proper operation. Check that the pump and fans are functioning and that the CPU temperature remains within safe limits.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

  • Always use distilled water or a recommended coolant to prevent corrosion and biological growth.
  • Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
  • Regularly inspect and maintain the system to ensure optimal performance.
  • Avoid bending the tubing at sharp angles, as this can restrict flow and cause damage.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues Users Might Face

  • Leaks: Check all fittings and ensure they are tight. Replace any worn or damaged tubing.
  • Pump Noise: Ensure the pump is properly mounted and not in contact with the case, which can amplify noise.
  • Inadequate Cooling: Verify that the fans are correctly oriented and that the flow rate is as expected. Reapply thermal paste if necessary.

Solutions and Tips for Troubleshooting

  • Air Bubbles: If you notice air bubbles in the system, gently tilt the case to help them move to the reservoir where they can be released.
  • Overheating: If the system is overheating, check the coolant level and the radiator for dust buildup. Clean the radiator fins and refill the coolant if necessary.

FAQs

Q: How often should I replace the coolant? A: It is recommended to replace the coolant every 1-2 years, depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidelines.

Q: Can I add additional components to the loop, like a GPU water block? A: Yes, the Goliath Watercool system can be expanded to include additional components, provided the pump has sufficient flow rate and head pressure.

Q: What is the warranty period for the Goliath Watercool system? A: Warranty periods vary by manufacturer. Check the documentation that came with your system for specific warranty information.

Q: Is it necessary to use anti-corrosive additives in the coolant? A: While not always necessary, using anti-corrosive additives can prolong the life of your cooling system components, especially if you have mixed metals in the loop.
