Setup and Installation
1. Prepare Your PC Case
Open your PC case and identify the fan mounting locations. The SA-140 fans are 140mm, so ensure your case supports this size.
2. Mount the Fans
This image illustrates the airflow direction of a typical PC cooling fan. Blue arrows indicate air intake (cool air entering), and red arrows indicate air exhaust (hot air leaving). When installing, ensure the fans are oriented correctly to achieve desired airflow within your PC case, whether for intake or exhaust.
Secure each fan to the desired mounting location using the provided screws. Pay attention to the fan's airflow direction (usually indicated by arrows on the fan frame) to optimize cooling within your case.
3. Connect to the Controller Hub
The image displays a detailed diagram of the fan controller hub. It shows various ports labeled for ARGB (Addressable RGB) and FAN connections, divided into sections A and B, supporting up to 10 fans. Key connection points are numbered, indicating where to connect 12V 4PIN and 5V 3PIN power, 4-Pin PWM to motherboard CPU_FAN port, 3PIN (5V ARGB) to motherboard, 2x SATA to power supply, and 2PIN to reset/LED button. This diagram is crucial for correct wiring.
Connect each fan's 4-pin PWM cable and 3-pin ARGB cable to the corresponding ports on the fan controller hub. The controller supports up to 10 fans.
- Connect the 12V 4PIN and 5V 3PIN power cables from the fans to the controller.
- Connect the 4-Pin (PWM) cable from the controller to your motherboard's CPU_FAN or a dedicated fan header.
- Connect the 3PIN (5V ARGB) cable from the controller to your motherboard's 5V ARGB header. This enables motherboard synchronization of RGB lighting.
- Connect the 2x SATA power cables from the controller to your PC's power supply.
- (Optional) Connect the 2PIN cable from the controller to your PC case's reset or LED button for external control.
4. Cable Management
Route cables neatly to ensure proper airflow and a clean build. Close your PC case.
Operating Instructions
PWM Smart Control
This image highlights the PWM Smart Control feature of the fan. It shows a fan with an icon representing temperature control and a text overlay indicating a quiet fan operation range of 1080-1320 RPM. This signifies that the fan speed can automatically adjust based on system temperature, optimizing both cooling performance and noise levels.
The 4-Pin PWM connection allows your motherboard to automatically adjust the fan speed based on CPU or system temperature. This ensures optimal cooling performance when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. The fans operate between 1200±10% RPM, providing efficient airflow.
ARGB Motherboard Sync
If connected to a 5V 3PIN ARGB header on your motherboard, you can control the fan lighting effects directly through your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). This allows for synchronized lighting across your entire system.
Remote Control Operation
The image shows the wireless remote control positioned inside a PC case, near the installed fans. The text emphasizes that the remote allows for adjustable fan speed and customized RGB lighting effects, enabling vivid, dynamic lighting and speed synchronization with the rest of the system. This illustrates the convenience of controlling the fans' features remotely.
The included wireless remote control allows you to customize RGB lighting and effects, and adjust fan speed independently if not using motherboard sync, or to override motherboard control. Refer to the remote's button layout for specific functions:
- Power Button: Turn lighting on/off.
- SPEED +/-: Adjust lighting effect speed.
- MODE +/-: Cycle through different lighting modes/effects.
- AUTO: Automatic lighting mode.
- W/M/B: White, Magenta, Blue color presets.
- R/G/B: Red, Green, Blue color presets.
- Music Note Icon: Music sync mode (if supported).
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your fans.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically (every 3-6 months, depending on environment) power off and unplug your PC. Use compressed air to gently blow dust off the fan blades and heatsinks. Hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.
- Cable Check: Ensure all cables remain securely connected to the controller and motherboard.
- Vibration Pads: The fans feature 9 vibration rubber pads. Ensure these are intact to maintain low noise operation.
This image provides a close-up view of a single fan, highlighting its design features for low noise operation. It clearly shows the 9 fan blades and points out the 8 vibration rubber pads located at the corners of the fan frame. These pads are crucial for absorbing vibrations and reducing operational noise, contributing to a silent computing experience. The image also notes the maximum airflow of 69.29 CFM and a fan noise level of 33.5 dBA.
