3.3 Cable Connections
Connect the fan to your motherboard or fan controller:
- PWM Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM cable from the fan to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows for speed control.
- ARGB Connection: Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable from the fan to a 3-pin 5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard. Ensure correct pin alignment to avoid damage. If connecting multiple fans, daisy-chain them as per your motherboard's or controller's instructions.

4. Operation
4.1 Fan Speed Control (PWM)
The Asiahorse Nyota A14 fan supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for dynamic speed control. This allows your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on system temperature, optimizing for either cooling performance or quiet operation.
- Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or use a compatible software utility (e.g., ASUS AI Suite, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte SIV) to configure fan curves.
- Adjust the fan speed profile to balance cooling needs with noise levels.
4.2 ARGB Lighting Control
The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting can be customized via compatible motherboard software. This allows for synchronization with other ARGB components in your system.
- Install the appropriate ARGB control software for your motherboard (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
- Use the software to select various lighting effects, colors, and brightness levels.
- Ensure your motherboard's ARGB header is set to 5V (3-pin) to prevent damage to the LEDs.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your fan.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft brush. Accumulation of dust can reduce airflow and increase noise.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and secured to prevent interference with fan blades or other components.
- Inspection: Occasionally inspect the fan for any signs of wear, damage, or unusual noise.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan not spinning | Incorrect power connection, faulty fan header, fan failure. | Check 4-pin PWM cable connection. Try a different fan header. If still not working, the fan may be faulty. |
| ARGB lights not working | Incorrect ARGB connection, incompatible ARGB header (e.g., 12V RGB instead of 5V ARGB), software issue, faulty LEDs. | Verify 3-pin 5V ARGB connection. Ensure motherboard header is 5V ARGB. Check motherboard software settings. |
| Fan is too loud | High fan speed setting, dust accumulation, loose mounting, bearing issue. | Adjust fan curve in BIOS/software. Clean fan blades. Ensure fan is securely mounted. |
| Poor cooling performance | Incorrect fan orientation, dust accumulation, low fan speed. | Check fan direction (airflow). Clean fan. Increase fan speed. |
