2. Pitunjuk Instalasi
2.1 Fan Mounting
To install the fan, first determine the desired airflow direction (intake or exhaust) within your PC case or on your CPU cooler/radiator. Secure the fan using the provided screws. Ensure the fan is firmly attached to prevent vibration.

2.2 ARGB Lighting Wiring
Connect the 3-pin ARGB lighting headers from the fan(s) to your motherboard's +5V ARGB header. Ensure the arrows on the connectors align correctly to prevent damage. For multiple fans, daisy-chain the ARGB headers as shown in the video. The maximum number of fans for the TL-S12S series connected to a single motherboard 3-pin ARGB socket is 3.
2.3 PWM Fan Speed Wiring
Connect the 4-pin PWM fan header from the fan(s) to your motherboard's 4-pin fan socket. This allows the motherboard to control the fan speed based on system temperature. The maximum number of fans connected to a single motherboard fan socket is 3.

3. Operasi
3.1 Kontrol cahaya ARGB
The TL-S12-S X3 fans feature vibrant ARGB lighting. Once connected to a compatible motherboard ARGB header, you can control the lighting effects, colors, and patterns using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock Polychrome Sync). The slim ARGB ring lighting provides a subtle yet aesthetic glow.

3.2 PWM Fan Speed Control
The fan's PWM functionality allows your motherboard to dynamically adjust its speed (up to 1500 RPM) based on the CPU or system temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. You can configure fan curves through your motherboard's BIOS or dedicated software.
4. Pangropéa
The Thermalright TL-S12-S X3 fan is equipped with a high-durability S-FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) which is designed for low-friction and low-noise operation, providing a long service life. This fan is largely maintenance-free. Regular cleaning of dust from the fan blades and surrounding areas is recommended to maintain optimal airflow and performance. Do not attempt to disassemble the fan, as this may void the warranty and cause damage.

6. Cara ngungkulan
- Kipas teu berputar: Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check BIOS settings to confirm fan control is enabled and not set to 0 RPM at low temperatures.
- Lampu ARGB Teu Gawé: Verify the 3-pin ARGB connector is correctly plugged into the motherboard's +5V ARGB header (not a +12V RGB header). Check for proper arrow alignment on connectors. Ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
- Noise kaleuleuwihan: Check that the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case or other components. Ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.
- Kinerja cooling goréng: Confirm the fan is installed with the correct airflow direction for your setup. Clean any dust accumulation on the fan blades or heatsink/radiator fins.
