4.3 Conexión de los cables

The fan unit utilizes a single modular cable for both power and ARGB lighting, simplifying cable management.

1. Locate the modular cable port on the fan unit.
2. Connect the modular cable to the fan unit.
3. Connect the other end of the modular cable to the appropriate headers on your motherboard or a compatible ARGB controller. This typically involves a 4-pin PWM header for fan speed control and a 3-pin ARGB header for lighting control.
4. Route cables neatly to ensure optimal airflow and aesthetics within your PC case.

After installation, close your PC case, reconnect the power, and power on your system.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Control de velocidad del ventilador (PWM)

The SickleFlow Edge 360 ARGB fan supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control via its 4-pin header. This allows your motherboard or fan controller to dynamically adjust fan speeds from 0 to 2,050 RPM based on system temperature, balancing cooling performance and noise levels. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.

5.2 Control de iluminación ARGB

The fan features addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, which can be customized to match your system's aesthetic. Control is typically managed through your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or Cooler Master's MasterCTRL software. Ensure the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible 3-pin ARGB header.

6. Mantenimiento

El mantenimiento regular ayuda a garantizar un rendimiento óptimo y la longevidad de su ventilador.

• Limpieza: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the fan is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Inspección: Revise los cables para detectar signos de desgaste o daños. Asegúrese de que todas las conexiones estén bien sujetas.
• Cojinete: The fan uses a Loop Dynamic Bearing, designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. No lubrication is required.

7. Solución de problemas

• El ventilador no gira:
  • Check if the modular cable is securely connected to both the fan unit and the motherboard/controller.
  • Ensure the 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard is enabled in BIOS/UEFI.
  • Pruebe el ventilador en un cabezal de ventilador diferente si está disponible.
• La iluminación RGB no funciona:
  • Verify the 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible ARGB header (not a 4-pin RGB header).
  • Ensure your motherboard's ARGB software or MasterCTRL software is installed and configured correctly.
  • Check for any loose connections in the ARGB chain.
• Ruido excesivo:
  • Asegúrese de que el ventilador esté montado de forma segura y no vibre contra la carcasa.
  • Limpie cualquier acumulación de polvo en las aspas del ventilador.
  • Adjust fan speed settings in your BIOS/UEFI or software to a lower RPM.
