Welcome to SoftJean.

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the SoftJean website, including its articles, guides, tools, forms, images, recommendations, and other available content.

By accessing or using SoftJean, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue your use of the website.

About SoftJean

SoftJean is an informational website focused on PC cooling, liquid cooling systems, AIO coolers, custom cooling loops, computer airflow, thermal performance, maintenance, compatibility, and hardware troubleshooting.

Content is prepared and reviewed by the SoftJean Editorial Team using sources that may include manufacturer documentation, technical references, product specifications, installation manuals, compatibility information, and established industry publications.

SoftJean does not operate as a computer repair company, hardware manufacturer, retailer, engineering firm, or personalized technical support service.

Informational Purpose

All content published on SoftJean is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

Our articles are intended to help readers better understand computer cooling systems, compare available options, identify possible causes of technical problems, and make more informed decisions.

The content does not constitute:

• Personalized technical advice.
• Engineering advice.
• Professional repair services.
• Electrical or workplace safety advice.
• A guarantee of hardware compatibility.
• A guarantee of performance, temperature, noise, or product lifespan.
• A substitute for official manufacturer instructions.
• A warranty or service agreement.

You remain responsible for determining whether any information, product, procedure, or recommendation is appropriate for your particular computer system.

Hardware and Safety Warning

Working with computer hardware may involve electricity, heat, liquids, pressurized components, sharp edges, moving fans, delicate electronic parts, and the risk of data loss or equipment damage.

Before installing, removing, cleaning, maintaining, or modifying hardware, you should:

• Shut down the computer properly.
• Disconnect the system from electrical power.
• Follow the official instructions provided by the manufacturer.
• Use appropriate tools and safety precautions.
• Confirm compatibility before purchasing or installing a component.
• Protect important files with current backups.
• Seek assistance from a qualified technician when uncertain.

If you notice smoke, burning smells, visible sparks, liquid leaks, damaged wiring, swollen components, or unusual heat, stop using the equipment and disconnect it safely when possible.

SoftJean does not encourage visitors to perform procedures beyond their knowledge, experience, or ability.

Accuracy of Information

The SoftJean Editorial Team works to provide useful and accurate information. However, we do not guarantee that every page will always be complete, current, error-free, or suitable for every system.

Computer hardware information may change because of:

• Product revisions.
• Firmware and BIOS updates.
• Software updates.
• Changes to manufacturer specifications.
• Regional model differences.
• New socket or mounting standards.
• Product availability.
• Pricing changes.
• Corrections issued by manufacturers.
• Differences between individual systems.

An article may become outdated after publication. Visitors should verify important information using the latest official documentation before making a purchase or changing their hardware.

SoftJean may update, correct, replace, or remove content without prior notice.

Performance and Temperature Results

Cooling performance can vary significantly between systems.

Results may be affected by factors such as:

• Processor or graphics card model.
• Power consumption and voltage.
• Room temperature.
• Computer case design.
• Radiator size and placement.
• Fan speed and direction.
• Pump speed.
• Thermal paste application.
• Mounting pressure.
• Dust accumulation.
• BIOS settings.
• Software configuration.
• Workload and testing method.
• Manufacturing variation between components.

Any temperature, noise, performance, or lifespan figures mentioned on SoftJean should be understood as contextual information rather than guaranteed results.

Unless an article clearly states that SoftJean performed an original test and explains the methodology, product information should be treated as researched editorial content rather than a claim of direct hands-on testing.

Product Compatibility

SoftJean may discuss compatibility between coolers, processors, sockets, cases, radiators, fans, motherboards, memory modules, power supplies, and other components.

Compatibility information may vary by product revision, included mounting kit, regional package, manufacturing date, or case configuration.

Before purchasing or installing hardware, you should confirm compatibility using:

• The official product manual.
• The manufacturer’s compatibility list.
• The case clearance specifications.
• The motherboard documentation.
• The processor socket requirements.
• Information provided by the retailer or manufacturer.

SoftJean is not responsible for purchases, returns, installation problems, delays, or damage resulting from incompatible components.

Product Recommendations and Comparisons

SoftJean may publish product comparisons, buying guides, rankings, and recommendations.

Recommendations reflect the information, criteria, availability, and editorial judgment applicable when the content was prepared. They are not guarantees that a product will be the best option for every visitor.

Product selection should also consider:

• Your budget.
• Your hardware.
• Your local climate.
• Available case space.
• Noise preferences.
• Warranty coverage.
• Regional availability.
• Installation experience.
• Manufacturer support.

Prices and availability may change at any time. SoftJean does not guarantee that a displayed price, discount, product link, or stock status will remain available.

Affiliate Links

Some pages may contain affiliate links.

When you follow an affiliate link and complete an eligible purchase or action, SoftJean may receive a commission. This generally does not change the price paid by the visitor.

Affiliate relationships do not guarantee positive coverage and should not determine our editorial conclusions.

The final purchase decision is entirely yours. Any transaction is completed directly with the external retailer, manufacturer, affiliate platform, or service provider.

SoftJean is not responsible for:

• Product quality or condition.
• Shipping or delivery.
• Returns or refunds.
• Billing issues.
• Warranty claims.
• Customer service.
• Product availability.
• Retailer policies.
• Disputes between visitors and third-party sellers.

Relevant commercial relationships may also be explained in our Advertising Disclosure.
