4. Setup jeung Instalasi

4.1 Fan Airflow Direction

For optimal cooling, ensure the fan is installed with the correct airflow direction. For normal airflow design fans, the blade side acts as intakes, and the frame side acts as exhausts. Install fans according to your case's airflow requirements.

4.2 Connecting PWM for Fan Speed Control

1. Locate the 4-pin PWM fan power connector on your fan cable.
2. Connect this 4-pin PWM connector to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard (e.g., CHA_FAN, CPU_FAN).
3. If connecting multiple fans, use the provided PWM sharing connector to daisy-chain additional fans for synchronized speed control. Connect the additional fan's PWM connector to the sharing header.

4.3 Connecting ARGB for Lighting Control

The fan supports 5V 3-pin Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. Do not connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this will damage the fan.

1. Locate the 3-pin 5V ARGB connector on your fan cable.
2. Connect this 3-pin ARGB connector to an available +5V ARGB header on your motherboard.
3. To synchronize the ARGB light effect across multiple fans, use the provided ARGB sharing connector to daisy-chain additional fans. Connect the additional fan's ARGB connector to the sharing header.
4. Note: Do not connect more than 6 ARGB fans of the same specification in series to avoid overloading the motherboard header.

4.4 Masang kipas

1. Position the fan in the desired location within your PC case, on a CPU cooler, or on a water cooling radiator, ensuring the correct airflow direction.
2. Align the fan's screw holes with the mounting points.
3. Use the included screws to secure the fan. Tighten screws evenly to prevent warping.

5. Parentah Operasi

Once installed and connected, the Thermalright TL-C12C-X28-S X3 fan operates automatically:

• Kontrol Kacepetan Kipas (PWM): The fan speed is automatically regulated by your motherboard based on system temperature. You can typically adjust fan curves and profiles through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated software.
• Kontrol Lampu ARGB: The ARGB lighting effects can be controlled and synchronized via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions on ARGB software usage.

6. Pangropéa
