Extended Product Information
FAQs
What kind of RGB connector does this fan use?
The fan uses a 3-pin 5V connector for addressable RGB, compatible with 5V-D-G or 5V-D-coded-G headers on motherboards.
Can I control the fan speed with PWM?
No, this fan uses a 3-pin connector, which typically controls speed via voltage. For PWM control, a 4-pin fan connector is required.
What is the maximum RPM of the fan?
The fan's maximum rotational speed is 1,200 RPM.
What is the noise level at maximum speed?
At maximum speed, the noise level does not exceed 18.2 dBA.
What motherboards are compatible with the RGB lighting?
It is certified for Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and Gigabyte Fusion, provided your motherboard has the compatible 3-pin 5V addressable RGB headers.
How many LEDs does the fan have?
The fan features twenty circularly arranged addressable RGB LEDs.
What is the airflow rate?
The fan provides an airflow rate of 94.8 m³/h.
Does the fan come with mounting screws?
The product description does not specify if mounting screws are included. Typically, PC case manufacturers provide these.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning
Check that the 3-pin fan connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Ensure the fan header is functional by testing with another fan or checking in BIOS.
RGB lights not working or incorrect colors
Verify the 3-pin 5V RGB connector is correctly attached to a compatible addressable RGB header on the motherboard. Ensure the motherboard's RGB software is installed, updated, and configured correctly to control the fan's lighting. Check that the header is set to 5V. Incorrect connection to a 12V header can damage the LEDs.
Fan is noisy
Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. Check that no cables are touching the fan blades. If noise persists, try reducing fan speed via motherboard software if possible, or consider if the noise is from normal operation at higher RPMs.
RGB lights are flickering
This could indicate a poor connection or insufficient power to the RGB header. Reseat the RGB connector and ensure the motherboard's RGB software is running correctly. A faulty header or controller could also be the cause.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Vibrant and customizable RGB lighting with 16.8 million colors.
- Broad compatibility with major motherboard RGB software.
- Quiet operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive builds.
- Effective airflow for its size and noise level.
- Vibration-dampening design for a more stable and quieter system.
Cons
- RGB control requires a compatible motherboard header (3-pin 5V-D-G or 4-pin 5V-D-coded-G).
- Airflow might be less than larger or higher-RPM fans for extreme cooling needs.
- Fan connector is 3-pin, which might limit PWM speed control depending on the motherboard header.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: Secure the fan to your PC case using standard fan screws (usually included with the case or fan). Ensure the airflow direction arrow on the fan points in the desired direction (typically towards the rear or top of the case for exhaust).
- Power Connection: Connect the fan's 3-pin connector to an available fan header on your motherboard.
- RGB Connection: Connect the 3-pin 5V RGB connector to a compatible 5V addressable RGB header (5V-D-G or 5V-D-coded-G) on your motherboard. Ensure correct pin alignment to avoid damage.
Compatibility:
- Motherboard RGB Software: Compatible with Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and Gigabyte Fusion. Ensure your motherboard has a 3-pin 5V addressable RGB header.
- Fan Headers: Requires a standard 3-pin motherboard fan header for power and speed control (note: 3-pin fans do not support PWM speed control; speed is controlled by voltage).
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame using a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.
- Bearing Lubrication: The fluid dynamic bearing is sealed and does not require user lubrication.
