Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your GAMDIAS Aeolus M2-1203 LITE fans into your PC case or onto a radiator.
- Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your PC case to access the fan mounting locations.
- Mount the Fans: Securely attach the 120mm fans to your desired PC case fan mounts or radiator using appropriate screws. Ensure the airflow direction is correct for your cooling configuration (typically intake or exhaust).
- Connect Power: Connect the 3-pin power connector from each fan to an available 3-pin fan header on your motherboard or fan controller.
- Connect RGB Lighting:
- For Motherboard Sync: Connect the 5V 3-pin Addressable RGB connector to a compatible header on your motherboard (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI JRAINBOW, ASRock Polychrome Sync, GIGABYTE Digital Pin Header). Use the provided splitter cable if connecting multiple RGB components to a single header.
- For Manual Control: If your motherboard does not support addressable RGB sync, or if you prefer manual control, connect the lighting switch cable to the fan's RGB input. This allows you to cycle through the 30 built-in lighting effects using the switch.
- Cable Management: Route all cables neatly to avoid interference with other components and to improve airflow within the case.
- Close Case and Power On: Once all connections are secure, close your PC case, plug in the power cable, and power on your computer.
