WarrantyFractal lists a 5-year limited warranty for the Lumen S36 v2; regional coverage and proof-of-purchase conditions apply.
Case compatibilityRequires chassis support for a 360 mm radiator. Allow 52 mm for radiator and fans, plus tube/fitting clearance; check the mounting tray and top/front clearance against RAM, VRM heatsinks, and GPU.
Motherboard compatibilityUse the correct socket mounting hardware and consult the motherboard manual for pump/fan header assignment. Confirm tube routing does not foul DIMMs, VRM heatsinks, PCIe cards, or connectors.

Warranty, maintenance, and safe installation

Closed-loop cooler: do not open or refill. With power disconnected, clean radiator fins gently and keep fans from spinning freely; inspect hose and fittings, and discontinue use if coolant residue or abnormal pump behavior appears.

  • Install only with the model-specific manual and included retention hardware. Do not operate a pump dry or allow tubes to kink or rub against sharp edges.
  • After installation, verify pump and fan tachometer/control operation and monitor CPU temperature under a repeatable load before normal service.
  • Warranty statements are a reference, not a substitute for current regional terms; preserve the serial number and purchase record and contact the manufacturer for service.
