To install the Shadow Rock 3 White on an AM4 socket, first ensure you have the correct mounting kit included in the package. Follow these steps: 1. Remove the default retention module on the motherboard. 2. Attach the AMD mounting brackets to the cooler base. 3. Apply thermal paste on the CPU. 4. Position the cooler over the CPU and secure it with the provided screws.
The optimal orientation for the Shadow Rock 3 White cooler is with the fan facing the RAM slots, allowing air to flow from the front to the back of the case. This setup ensures efficient heat dissipation and optimal cooling performance.
It is recommended to clean the cooler every 6-12 months, depending on the environment. Use compressed air to remove dust from the fins and fan without disassembling the cooler for best results.
If the fan is making noise, first check for any obstructions or dust on the fan blades. If cleaning doesn't help, ensure the fan is securely mounted. If the noise persists, consider contacting be quiet! support for a replacement fan.
