FAQs
How do I control the RGB lighting?
The RGB lighting is controlled through your motherboard's A-RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) or an external A-RGB controller.
Can I daisy-chain the fans?
No, the fan does not support daisy-chaining.
What is the bearing type?
The fan uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB).
What is the fan's speed range?
The fan has a rotational speed range of 0 to 1900 RPM.
How do I adjust the fan speed?
The fan speed is adjusted through the motherboard's BIOS or fan control software using PWM control.
Does the fan come with mounting screws?
Yes, the fan includes mounting screws.
What is the warranty period?
The ARCTIC P14 PWM PST A-RGB comes with a 6-year manufacturer's guarantee.
What is the airflow rating?
The airflow rating is 117.06 m³/h or 68.9 CFM.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning.
Check the power connection to the fan and ensure it's properly connected to the motherboard. Verify that the fan curve settings in the BIOS are not set to 0 RPM at the current temperature.
RGB lighting not working.
Check the A-RGB connection to the motherboard or controller. Ensure that the A-RGB header is enabled in the BIOS/software. Confirm that the software controlling the RGB lighting is properly installed and configured.
Excessive noise.
Check for obstructions (cables) interfering with the fan blades. Verify the fan's mounting screws are secure. Adjust fan curve settings in the BIOS to lower speeds at idle.
Fan speed not being controlled.
Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is correctly connected to the motherboard's fan header. Check the BIOS settings to confirm PWM control is enabled.
