5. Connect ARGB to Motherboard (Optional):
   • If you wish to synchronize the fan RGB lighting with your motherboard's software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync), connect the ARGB motherboard controller cable from the fan hub to a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard.
   • Note: Do not connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this may damage the LEDs.

5. Operating Instructions

Your AsiaHorse COSMIQ-Black fans can be controlled via the included remote or through your motherboard's ARGB software, depending on your setup.

5.1. Using the Remote Control

The remote control allows you to adjust fan speed, RGB lighting modes, colors, and brightness. Refer to the remote's specific button functions for detailed control.

5.2. Motherboard ARGB Software Control

If you connected the ARGB cable to your motherboard, you can use your motherboard's dedicated RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0) to control the fan lighting effects. Ensure the remote control is set to motherboard sync mode (often by pressing a specific button, like 'W' three times, as mentioned in some user experiences).

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fans.

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and housing using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the PC is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and not obstructing airflow or fan movement.
• Bearing Maintenance: The fans feature Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) designed for long-term, quiet operation. No user lubrication is required.
