2. Karakteristik kle

  • Refwadisman pèfòmans segondè: Features a 4-pin PWM fan cable interface for automatic speed control based on motherboard temperature, ensuring efficient cooling.
  • Bon jan kalite S-FDB bi: Equipped with carefully developed S-FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearings) with magnetic assist design to stabilize fan blade motion, minimize noise, and extend the fan's lifespan.
  • Operasyon an silans: Designed to maintain a low noise level, typically ≤23.2dBA, for a quiet computing environment.
  • Ekleraj RGB adrèsab (ARGB): High brightness LED atomized fan blades provide soft and vibrant ARGB lighting effects. Connects to a motherboard's 3-pin ARGB header for customizable lighting control.
  • Optimized Airflow Design: The triangular frame design enhances airflow and static pressure, making it effective for both air and liquid cooling radiators.
  • Konstriksyon dirab: Both fan blades and frame are constructed from industrial-grade PBT+PC material for strength and stability.
  • Vibwasyon Damping: Each corner of the fan includes pre-installed silicone rubber pads to reduce noise and vibration.
  • Dynamic Balancing: Features an updated three-axis dynamic balancing process on the fan blades for stable operation.

3. Gid Enstalasyon

Follow these steps to properly install your Thermalright TL-M12R-S CPU Case Fan. Ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning installation.

3.1 Direksyon koule lè a

The TL-M12R-S series fan blades rotate counterclockwise, with the fan blade side exhausting air. Install the fan according to your case's desired airflow direction (intake or exhaust).

3.2 Konekte Fan lan

Refer to the video below for a quick start guide on connecting your Thermalright case fan.

Video 1: Thermalright Case Fan Quick Start Guide. This video demonstrates how to connect the PWM and ARGB cables to your motherboard and install the fan.

  1. PWM Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan power connector to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. If installing multiple fans, use the provided PWM sharing connector to sync fan speeds.
  2. ARGB Connection: Connect the 3-pin 5V addressable RGB connector to a compatible +5V ARGB header on your motherboard. If installing multiple fans, use the provided ARGB sharing connector to sync lighting effects.
  3. Montaj: Secure the fan to your PC case or cooler using the included screws. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for your desired airflow.

4. Operasyon

Once installed and connected, the Thermalright TL-M12R-S fan operates automatically.

  • Kontwòl vitès fanatik: The 4-pin PWM connection allows your motherboard to automatically adjust the fan speed based on CPU or system temperature, optimizing cooling performance while minimizing noise.
  • Kontwòl ekleraj ARGB: The ARGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) if connected to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header. This allows for synchronization with other ARGB components and customization of lighting effects.

5. Antretyen

Antretyen regilye ede asire pèfòmans optimal ak lonjevite fanatik ou an.

  • Netwayaj: Netwaye lam vantilatè yo ak ankadreman an detanzantan pou retire pousyè ki akimile. Sèvi ak lè konprese oswa yon bwòs mou. Asire w ke vantilatè a etenn epi dekonekte anvan ou netwaye li.
  • Enspeksyon: Check fan connections (PWM and ARGB) to ensure they are secure. Inspect fan blades for any damage or obstructions.
  • Evite obstak: Ensure no cables or other components obstruct the fan blades' rotation.

NAN. Depanaj

Si ou rankontre pwoblèm ak vantilatè ou a, konsidere bagay sa yo:

  • Vantilatè a pa ap vire:
    • Check if the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header.
    • Ensure the motherboard fan header is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
    • Verify that the system is receiving power.
  • Pa gen ekleraj ARGB:
    • Confirm the 3-pin ARGB connector is securely plugged into a compatible +5V ARGB header on the motherboard. Note: Do not connect to a 12V RGB header, as this can damage the fan.
    • Check your motherboard's RGB software to ensure lighting effects are configured and enabled.
    • If using multiple fans with a sharing connector, ensure all connections are correct.
  • bri ki pa nòmal:
    • Ensure no cables or objects are touching the fan blades.
    • Check if the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case.
    • Akimilasyon pousyè ka fè bri; netwaye vantilatè a byen.
