5. Instrukcja instalacji
5.1 Fizyczna instalacja
- Identify the desired mounting location(s) within your PC chassis (e.g., front, top, rear, bottom).
- Align the fan with the screw holes on your chassis or radiator.
- Secure the fan using the provided mounting screws. Do not overtighten.
- Ensure the silicone foot pads are correctly positioned to reduce vibration and noise.

5.2 Airflow Direction (Reverse Wind)
The TL-C12RW-S V2 is a reverse wind fan. This means the fan blades rotate counter-clockwise, and the fan blade face is in the direction of exhaust air. It pulls air from the front (where the label is typically visible) and exhausts it from the back (where the motor hub is visible). This is crucial for maintaining optimal airflow in specific case configurations, often used as intake fans where the aesthetic front of the fan is desired to face inwards.

5.3 połączeń przewodów
The fan requires two connections: one for power/speed control and one for ARGB lighting.
- 4-PIN PWM Connection: Connect the 4-pin fan cable to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows for automatic fan speed control based on system temperature.
- +5V 3-PIN ARGB Connection: Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible +5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard. Do NOT connect to a +12V RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.
Figure 5: ARGB Connection Details and Notes
Important ARGB Notes:
- You can use motherboard pins to operate in synchronous light effect mode. Refer to your motherboard's user guide for specific instructions.
- The power supply of the ARGB port on the mainboard has an upper limit. When the mainboard is connected to the synchronous mode, a single port on the mainboard can connect no more than six devices in series. Exceeding this limit may damage your motherboard or ARGB devices.
6. Działanie
6.1 Fan Speed Control (PWM)
The 4-pin PWM connection allows your motherboard to dynamically adjust the fan speed (0-1500 RPM) based on CPU or system temperatures. This ensures optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise when not under heavy load. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.
6.2 Sterowanie oświetleniem ARGB
The fan's ARGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). Ensure your motherboard has a compatible +5V 3-pin ARGB header. The fan supports up to 17 ARGB 'Water Magic' modes for diverse visual effects.

7. Konserwacja
- Czyszczenie: Regularly clean dust from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the PC is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Kontrola: Periodically check the fan for any signs of wear, loose connections, or unusual noises.
- Unikaj płynów: Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the fan or its electrical components.
8. Rozwiązywanie Problemów
8.1 Wentylator nie obraca się
- Check if the 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to the motherboard fan header.
- Ensure the PC is powered on and the fan header is receiving power.
- Verify fan settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI; some headers may be disabled or set to a very low RPM.
8.2 ARGB Lighting Not Working
- Confirm the +5V 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible +5V ARGB header on your motherboard.
- Ensure it is NOT connected to a +12V RGB header.
- Check your motherboard's ARGB software to ensure lighting effects are enabled and configured.
- Verify that the total number of ARGB devices connected to a single header does not exceed the motherboard's power limit (typically 6 devices in series).
8.3 Nadmierny hałas
- Ensure all mounting screws are tightened appropriately.
- Sprawdź, czy w pobliżu łopatek wentylatora nie ma żadnych kabli ani przeszkód.
- Clean any dust buildup on the fan blades.
- If the noise persists and is unusual, it may indicate a bearing issue.
9. Wskazówki użytkownika
- Konfiguracja przepływu powietrza: Due to its reverse wind design, this fan is excellent for intake positions where you want the aesthetically pleasing front of the fan to be visible from inside the case, while still pulling cool air in. Plan your case airflow carefully to maximize cooling efficiency.
- Zarządzanie kablami: Utilize the 55cm long fan wire for easier cable routing and a cleaner build.
- ARGB Synchronization: For synchronized lighting effects across multiple ARGB components, ensure all devices are connected to compatible ARGB headers and controlled by the same software.
