Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward using the included screws. Ensure your motherboard has sufficient 4-pin PWM headers available for each fan; if not, a fan hub or splitter cable may be required.
Setup Steps:
- Identify the intake zones at the bottom or side of your PC case.
- Align the fans so the face with the 'be quiet!' logo is visible from the inside of your case.
- Secure the fans using the included screws.
- Connect each 4-pin cable to your motherboard's chassis fan headers.
- Configure the fan curve in your BIOS to your preferred noise-to-performance ratio.
Care:
Clean the fan blades with compressed air every 3 to 6 months to prevent dust buildup, which can affect balance and airflow over time. Avoid using liquid cleaners on the bearings.
