BEFORE YOU START


NOTE: Most newer PC cases have a cutout allowing access to the rear part of the motherboard for easy installation of cooler backplates. If your case does not include a cutout, you will need to remove the motherboard from the case prior to installation.

NAUTILUS RS LCD Series coolers come with the Intel mounting bracket pre-installed on the pump for quick installation – should you have an AMD system, remove this bracket and use the included AMD bracket instead. Proceed to the AMD Installation Section for more details.

PREPARE YOUR NAUTILUS RS LCD FOR INSTALLATION


  • Mount the fans onto the radiator with the Long Fan Screws (J) as shown.
NOTE: For a cleaner build, position the fans so that their cables face the motherboard side once mounted inside the chassis.
NAUTILUS_RS_LCD_Fans_Installation
  • Connect the 4-pin PWM cable from one RS fan into the 3-pin receptable of another RS fan to create a fan group.
TIP: Position the fans so that the cables are towards the motherboard side for a cleaner look.

An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of airflow.

NAUTILUS_FAQ_Fan_Arrows

What orientation should I install my radiator?

For optimal performance, we recommend installing the radiator with the tubes positioned at the bottom of the case (Figure 1). However, you have the flexibility to install the radiator in various orientations, including an inverted position. Ensure that the highest point of the radiator is elevated above the level of the CPU pump, regardless of the installation orientation (Figure 2).

NAUTILUS_FAQ_Radiator_Position

Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?

Re-installation of the NAUTILUS Series CPU cooler will require you clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply a new layer of thermal paste. We recommend using CORSAIR XTM70, sold separately.


What should I do if I've lost or damaged a specific part of the NAUTILUS RS LCD CPU Cooler?

Replacement parts for the NAUTILUS RS CPU coolers are sold through the CORSAIR webstore.


How can I rotate my images and / or GIFs through iCUE software?

Once the LCD screen is recognized by iCUE software, images and GIFs shown on the screen can be adjusted, including uploading new content and changing orientation via the device settings in the software.
