Product Information
Full details
The Bgears b Blaster is a high-performance 140mm fan for users seeking maximum airflow in their desktop or server systems. Its key benefit is the high speed of 1800 RPM, delivering up to 103 CFM of cooling power. A potential caveat is its focus on raw speed, which may result in higher noise levels compared to quieter alternatives. This fan features a durable 2 ball bearing system for longevity and comes with both 3-pin and 4-pin Molex connectors for flexible installation.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Bgears b Blaster fan?
The primary advantage is its high performance, offering up to 103 CFM of airflow at a speed of 1800 RPM, which is excellent for demanding cooling needs.
Does this fan come with a speed control feature?
This fan operates at a fixed high speed (1800 RPM). It does not have built-in PWM speed control. Speed can only be adjusted if your motherboard's 3-pin fan header supports voltage-based control.
What type of bearings does the fan use?
The fan utilizes a 2 ball bearing system, which is known for its durability and long lifespan.
Can I connect this fan directly to my power supply?
Yes, the fan includes a 3-pin to 4-pin Molex adapter, allowing you to connect it directly to a power supply unit.
What are the dimensions of the fan?
The fan is a standard 140mm size.
Is this fan suitable for quiet operation?
While effective for cooling, the fan operates at a high speed (1800 RPM) which may produce audible noise. It is designed for performance rather than silent operation.
How do I clean the fan?
Gently clean the fan blades and frame with a soft brush or use compressed air to remove dust. Ensure the fan is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
Where can I get customer support?
Customer support can be reached via email at Support@bgears.com or by calling 702-988-6808.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not spin
Verify that the 3-pin or 4-pin Molex connector is securely attached to the motherboard or power supply. Ensure the fan header or Molex connector is receiving power. Check if the fan is obstructed.
Excessive vibration or noise
Confirm the fan is securely mounted and all screws are tightened. Ensure no cables are touching the fan blades. If noise persists, it may be due to the high operating speed; consider using a fan controller if available and supported for speed adjustment.
Fan spins slowly or intermittently
If using a 3-pin connection, check motherboard fan control settings. The fan may not start at very low voltage. Ensure the power connection is stable. Obstructions or bearing issues could also cause this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Connection: Decide whether to use the 3-pin fan connector for motherboard control (if supported) or the 4-pin Molex adapter for direct power supply connection.
- Mount Fan: Secure the 140mm fan in your desired location using the included mounting screws. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow.
- Connect Power: Plug the fan's connector or the Molex adapter into the appropriate port on your motherboard or power supply.
Compatibility:
- Form Factor: 140mm fan, compatible with most standard 140mm fan mounts in computer cases and server chassis.
- Power: 12V DC operation.
- Connectors: 3-pin fan header or 4-pin Molex power connector.
Care:
- Periodically clean the fan blades and frame to remove dust accumulation, which can impede airflow and increase noise. A soft brush or compressed air is recommended.
- Ensure the fan is securely mounted to prevent vibration noise.
- Listen for any unusual sounds that might indicate bearing wear over time.
