5. Persediaan & Pemasangan

Follow these steps to properly install your Thermalright TL-H12-X28-S fan:

5.1. Fan Connection (PWM)

1. Locate the 4-pin PWM fan power connector on your fan.
2. Connect this 4-pin PWM connector to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard (e.g., CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2).
3. If installing multiple fans and wishing to sync their speeds, use the provided PWM sharing connector. Connect the additional fan's PWM cable to the sharing connector, then connect the sharing connector to the motherboard fan header.

5.2. ARGB Lighting Connection

1. Identify the 3-pin 5V addressable RGB (ARGB) connector on your fan.
2. Connect this ARGB connector to a compatible +5V ARGB header on your motherboard (do not connect to a 12V RGB header).
3. To synchronize ARGB lighting effects across multiple fans, use the provided ARGB sharing connector. Connect additional fan ARGB cables to the sharing connector, then connect the sharing connector to the motherboard ARGB header.

5.3. Arah Aliran Udara

Proper airflow is crucial for effective cooling. For normal airflow design fans, the blade side typically intakes air, and the frame side exhausts air. Install the fan according to your case's desired airflow direction.

5.4. Pemasangan Fizikal

1. Position the fan in the desired mounting location within your PC case, air cooler, or water cooling radiator.
2. Align the fan's screw holes with the mounting points.
3. Use the included self-tapping screws to secure the fan. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten.

6. Arahan Operasi

Once installed and connected, the Thermalright TL-H12-X28-S fan operates automatically based on your motherboard's fan control settings.

• Fan Speed Control (PWM): The 4-pin PWM connector allows your motherboard to dynamically adjust the fan speed based on CPU temperature or other system parameters. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.
• Kawalan Pencahayaan ARGB: The 5V 3PIN ARGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or a dedicated ARGB controller (not included). Ensure your motherboard's ARGB header is enabled and configured correctly in its software.

7. Penyelenggaraan

Penyelenggaraan tetap memastikan prestasi optimum dan jangka hayat kipas anda.

• Pembersihan: Periodically clean the fan blades and frame to remove dust buildup. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the fan is powered off before cleaning.
• Pemeriksaan: Periksa sebarang halangan di sekitar bilah kipas atau bunyi luar biasa semasa operasi.
• galas: The S-FDB V2 bearing is designed for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation. Do not attempt to disassemble the fan for lubrication.
