6. Setup and Installation

1. Prepare Your System: Power off your computer and unplug it from the power outlet. Open your computer case to access the fan mounting locations.
2. Identify Mounting Location: Determine where you want to install the fan. Common locations include the front, rear, top, or bottom of the case. Ensure there is adequate space.
3. Determine Airflow Direction: Fans have a designated airflow direction. Typically, air flows from the open side (where the fan blades are most visible) towards the side with the motor support struts. Position the fan to draw cool air into the case or exhaust hot air out.


This diagram illustrates the directional airflow of the Aigo Aurora fan, indicating how it draws in cool air and expels hot air from the PC case for efficient cooling.

4. Mount the Fan: Align the fan with the screw holes in your PC case. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the fan firmly. Do not overtighten.
5. Connect Power: Locate the 4-pin fan connector on your Aigo Aurora fan.
   • For RGB and Speed Control: Connect the fan's 4-pin connector to an available fan port on an Aigo C3 RGB controller (sold separately). The C3 controller will then connect to your power supply.
   • For Basic Operation (No RGB/Speed Control): If you do not have a C3 controller, you can connect the fan's 4-pin connector directly to a compatible 4-pin fan header on your motherboard or power supply. In this configuration, the fan will operate at a fixed speed, and RGB lighting functionality may be limited or unavailable.

This detailed diagram displays the Aigo C3 controller, showing its various ports for connecting up to 10 fans, DC power input, and buttons for adjusting fan speed and RGB lighting modes. It emphasizes that the controller is not included with the fan.


This image highlights that a separate C3 controller is necessary to adjust the fan's RGB lighting colors, modes, and speed settings. The controller is not included with the single fan unit.

6. Cable Management: Route the fan cables neatly to avoid interference with other components and to improve airflow within the case.
7. Close Case and Power On: Once all connections are secure, close your computer case, plug it back in, and power it on.

7. Operating Instructions

Upon powering on your computer, the Aigo Aurora fan will begin to spin and illuminate. The specific functionality depends on whether a C3 controller is used.

• Without C3 Controller: The fan will operate at its default speed (1200 RPM) and may display a default RGB lighting effect, or no lighting, depending on the motherboard header's capabilities. Speed and lighting adjustments are not possible.
• With Aigo C3 Controller (Sold Separately):

  If connected to an Aigo C3 controller, you can customize the fan's performance and aesthetics:

  • Speed Control: Use the "SPEED" buttons on the C3 controller to cycle through different fan speeds (e.g., high, medium, slow).
  • Mode Control: Use the "MODE" button to change RGB lighting effects (e.g., static, breathing, pulse, rainbow).
  • Color Control: Use the "COLOR" button to select specific static colors (e.g., white, red, yellow, green, blue, violet).

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and frame to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Check Connections: Occasionally verify that all fan cables are securely connected to prevent intermittent operation.
• Avoid Lubrication: The fan bearings are factory-sealed and do not require lubrication. Attempting to lubricate them may cause damage.

9. Troubleshooting

• Fan Not Spinning:
  • Ensure the 4-pin power connector is securely plugged into a functional fan header on the motherboard or C3 controller.
  • Check if the computer's power supply is functioning correctly.
  • If using a C3 controller, ensure the controller itself is powered and connected correctly.
• RGB Lights Not Working or Incorrect:
  • Verify that the fan is connected to an Aigo C3 RGB controller. Without the controller, full RGB functionality is not available.
  • If using a C3 controller, ensure it is properly powered and that the fan is connected to one of its fan ports.
  • Try cycling through modes and colors using the C3 controller buttons.
  • Ensure no software conflicts if using motherboard RGB control (though this fan primarily relies on the C3 controller).
• Excessive Noise:
  • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case.
  • Check for any cables or obstructions touching the fan blades.
  • Clean any dust buildup on the fan blades.
