4. Contingut del paquet
Upon opening your package, you should find the following item:
- 1 x PHANTEKS PC Case Fan (120mm or 140mm, depending on your selection)
5. Configuració i instal·lació
- Prepareu el vostre sistema: Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before beginning installation.
- Identificar la ubicació de muntatge: Determine where you will install the fan (e.g., PC case, CPU cooler radiator). Fans can be mounted to draw air in (intake) or push air out (exhaust).
- Determine Airflow Direction: The fan is designed to suck air from the front and exhaust it from the back. Observe the arrows on the fan frame, which typically indicate the direction of airflow and blade rotation.
- Muntar el ventilador: Secure the fan to your desired location using the appropriate screws. The fan includes damping silicone pads to reduce vibration; ensure these are properly seated between the fan and the mounting surface.
- Connecteu el cable d'alimentació: Locate a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard. Connect the fan's 4-pin cable to this header. Ensure the connector is fully seated.
- Comprovació final: Double-check all connections and ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.

6. Funcionament
The PHANTEKS PC Case Fan utilizes a 4-pin PWM interface, allowing your motherboard to automatically control the fan speed based on your system's temperature. This ensures optimal cooling performance while minimizing noise.
- Control automàtic de velocitat: When connected to a PWM header, the fan speed will dynamically adjust between 500-1500 RPM according to the CPU or system temperature, as configured in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system software.
- Modes de rendiment: The fan can operate in various performance ranges:
- Gamma alta: Excellent performance for demanding tasks.
- Gamma mitjana: Stable performance for general use.
- Low gear: Silent operation for minimal noise.

7. Manteniment
Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del ventilador.
- Neteja: Periodically clean the fan blades and frame to remove dust buildup. Use compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the fan is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Inspecció: Check for any obstructions around the fan blades or unusual noises during operation.
- Bearing Care: The hydraulic bearing is designed for long life and typically does not require user lubrication.
8. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your fan, consider the following:
- El ventilador no gira:
- Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard header.
- Comproveu la configuració de la BIOS/UEFI de la placa base per assegurar-vos que el capçal del ventilador estigui habilitat i configurat correctament.
- Verify that your power supply is functioning correctly.
- Soroll excessiu:
- Ensure the fan is securely mounted and the silicone damping pads are properly installed.
- Comproveu si hi ha cables o obstruccions que toquin les aspes del ventilador.
- Dust buildup can cause noise; clean the fan thoroughly.
- Rendiment de refrigeració deficient:
- Verify the fan's airflow direction is appropriate for its mounting location (intake vs. exhaust).
- Assegureu-vos que no hi hagi obstruccions que bloquegin el flux d'aire cap al ventilador o des d'aquest.
- Check system temperatures to confirm the fan is spinning at an adequate speed (via BIOS/UEFI or monitoring software).
9. Consells d'usuari
- Flux d'aire òptim: Plan your case's airflow carefully. Generally, front and bottom fans are intake, while rear and top fans are exhaust.
- Gestió de cables: Col·loca els cables del ventilador amb cura per evitar que interfereixin amb les aspes del ventilador o obstrueixin el flux d'aire.
- BIOS/Software Tuning: Utilize your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or dedicated fan control software to fine-tune fan curves for a balance between cooling performance and noise levels.
