FAQs

Can I use this fan without a PWM header?

Yes, it is backward compatible with 3-pin headers, though it will run at full speed unless your motherboard supports voltage-based speed control.

What is the difference between the 2000 RPM and 1550 RPM modes?

The 2000 RPM mode is the maximum speed for full cooling capacity, while the 1550 RPM mode is achieved by using the Low-Noise Adaptor to prioritize silence.

Does it come with a Y-cable?

Yes, a 4-pin Y-cable is included, allowing you to run two fans from a single motherboard header.

Is this fan suitable for water cooling radiators?

While it can be used for smaller 92mm radiators, its primary design focus is for case airflow and air-cooled heatsinks.

How long is the fan cable?

The primary cable is 20cm long, and a 30cm extension is included for added reach.

Troubleshooting

Fan is running at full speed constantly

Ensure the fan is connected to a 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard and that PWM mode is enabled in your system's BIOS settings.

Audible vibration or buzzing sounds

Verify that the integrated silicone anti-vibration pads are properly seated against the chassis and that the mounting screws are not overtightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally quiet operation even at full speed
  • High build quality with long-term reliability
  • Includes useful accessories like extension cables and a Y-splitter
  • Advanced bearing technology for smooth, long-term performance

Cons

  • Distinctive brown and beige color scheme is polarizing
  • Not intended for massive high-airflow server chassis
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level 92mm fans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fan is designed to be plug-and-play with any standard 4-pin PWM fan header on a modern motherboard. To install, use the included anti-vibration silicone mounts or standard chassis screws. If you are daisy-chaining fans, use the provided Y-cable to synchronize speed control through a single motherboard header. Maintenance is minimal; due to the high-quality SSO2 bearing, no lubrication is required. Simply use compressed air or a soft brush periodically to clear dust accumulation from the blades and the frame's inlet structures to ensure optimal acoustic performance.
