3.2 Connexió dels cables

The TL-C12C-S X5 fan has two main connectors:

  • 4-Pin PWM Connector: Connect this to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control of the fan speed.
  • +5V 3-Pin ARGB Connector: Connect this to an available +5V 3-pin Addressable RGB (ARGB) header on your motherboard. Do NOT connect this to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this may damage the fan's LEDs.

The fan supports series control for PWM and ARGB, allowing multiple fans to be connected and controlled from a single header using appropriate splitters (not always included).

4. Funcionament

4.1 Control de velocitat del ventilador (PWM)

The fan speed can be controlled via the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through motherboard software. The fan operates within a range of 0 to 1550 RPM (±10%). Adjusting the PWM signal allows you to balance cooling performance and noise levels.

4.2 Control d'il·luminació ARGB

The ARGB lighting can be controlled through your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or a dedicated ARGB controller (if purchased separately). The fan supports up to 17 ARGB color flow modes, allowing for extensive customization of lighting effects.

    • Verify that the fan header is enabled in the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.
    • Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació funcioni correctament.
  • ARGB Lights Not Working/Incorrect Colors:
    • Confirm the +5V 3-pin ARGB connector is correctly plugged into a +5V 3-pin ARGB header on the motherboard, not a 12V 4-pin RGB header.
    • Check your motherboard's ARGB software for proper configuration and effects.
    • Ensure all ARGB connections are secure, especially if using splitters or daisy-chaining multiple fans.
  • Soroll excessiu:
    • Comproveu si hi ha cables o obstruccions que toquin les aspes del ventilador.
    • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and screws are tightened.
