5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the fan will begin operating automatically when the computer is powered on. The fan speed is typically controlled by the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated fan control software, depending on the fan header type and motherboard capabilities.

• Power On: Turn on your computer. The fan should start spinning, providing airflow.
• Speed Control (if applicable): For 3-pin fans, speed control is often achieved through voltage regulation. Consult your motherboard manual for instructions on adjusting fan speeds in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
• Monitoring: Use system monitoring software to check the fan's RPM and ensure it is functioning correctly and contributing to optimal system temperatures.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficiency of your cooling fan.

• Cleaning: Periodically (every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments) power off your computer and disconnect it from the power source. Use compressed air to gently blow dust off the fan blades and frame. Hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.
• Inspection: Check for any signs of wear, such as loose wires, damaged blades, or unusual noises during operation.
• Avoid Lubrication: The fan bearings are factory-sealed and do not require lubrication. Attempting to lubricate them may cause damage.
