FAQs
What is the main advantage of the reversed airflow design?
The reversed airflow design is optimized for specific cooling configurations, pushing air in the opposite direction of standard fans. This can be beneficial for unique case layouts or when specific air intake/exhaust patterns are desired.
How do I connect multiple Phanteks M25 Gen2 fans together?
The fans feature a daisy-chain unified fan frame. You can connect them sequentially by plugging the cable from one fan into the next, simplifying wiring and reducing the number of cables connected to your motherboard or controller.
What is the purpose of the infinity mirror hub?
The infinity mirror hub is a design element that creates a visually striking, deep reflection effect for the DRGB lighting, adding a unique aesthetic appeal to your PC build.
Can I control the DRGB lighting without a compatible motherboard?
Yes, if your motherboard does not have a DRGB header, you can typically use a separate Phanteks DRGB controller (sold separately) to manage the lighting effects.
What is the warranty period for this fan?
Please refer to the official Phanteks product page or documentation for the most current warranty information, as it can vary by region and product generation.
Is this fan suitable for radiators?
Yes, the fan is designed to provide high airflow and static pressure, making it suitable for use with PC radiators for liquid cooling setups.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning
Check the PWM fan cable connection to the motherboard. Ensure the fan header is providing power and the fan speed is not set to 0 RPM in BIOS or software.
DRGB lighting not working or incorrect colors
Verify the DRGB cable is correctly connected to a 3-pin 5V DRGB header. Ensure the correct lighting control software is installed and configured for your motherboard/components. Try connecting to a different DRGB header.
Excessive noise
Check for any obstructions or loose cables hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted. Adjust fan speed via PWM control; lower speeds are quieter.
Fan speed is fixed and not adjusting
Confirm the fan is connected to a PWM header (4-pin). Check BIOS settings to ensure PWM mode is enabled for the fan header. If using a controller, verify its settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mount the fan in your desired location using the included screws.
Connect the PWM fan cable to an available fan header on your motherboard.
Connect the DRGB cable to a compatible DRGB header on your motherboard or controller. If daisy-chaining multiple fans, connect them sequentially using the provided connectors on the fan frames.
Ensure all cables are securely connected.
Compatibility:
Motherboard: Requires a 4-pin PWM fan header and a 3-pin 5V DRGB header.
Case: Standard 120mm fan mounts.
Software: DRGB lighting is controllable via motherboard software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) or a dedicated Phanteks controller.
Care:
Periodically dust the fan blades and frame with compressed air or a soft brush to maintain optimal performance.
Avoid using liquids for cleaning. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth on the frame only, ensuring no moisture reaches the motor or electronics.
