2.2. Fan Installation and Connection
The KEDIERS K4 case comes with 8 pre-installed PWM ARGB fans. Understanding fan types and connections is crucial for optimal airflow and lighting.
- Standard Fans: These fans typically draw air from the front and exhaust it out the back.
- Reverse Fans: These fans are designed to draw air from the back and exhaust it out the front, often used for specific airflow configurations or aesthetic purposes.
- Connections: Fans utilize PWM 4-pin connectors for speed control and 5V 3-pin ARGB connectors for lighting synchronization. The pre-installed fans feature a daisy-chain design for simplified cable management.
