4. Guia d'instal·lació
Before beginning installation, ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. It is recommended to wear an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to components.
4.1 Preparing Your System
- Power down your computer and disconnect the power cable.
- Open your computer case to access the motherboard and RAM slots.
- Identify the RAM modules you wish to cool. Ensure there is adequate clearance above and around the memory slots for the cooling unit.
4.2 Mounting the Cooling Fan
- Attach the provided installation clips/brackets to the Corsair Vengeance Airflow unit. These clips are designed to secure the unit to the RAM slot retention clips on your motherboard.
- Carefully position the cooling unit over your RAM modules. The fan should be oriented to blow air directly onto the memory.
- Gently press the installation clips onto the retention clips of your RAM slots until they securely snap into place. Ensure the unit is stable and does not wobble.
- Adjust the position of the cooling unit if necessary to optimize airflow and clearance with other components (e.g., CPU cooler, graphics card). The mounting legs are often adjustable to accommodate different spacing.
4.3 Connexió de potència
- Locate an available 3-pin or 4-pin fan header on your motherboard or a fan controller.
- Connect the fan's power cable to the chosen header.
- If you wish to operate the fan at a reduced speed (2500 RPM), use the included speed control cable. Connect this cable between the fan's power cable and the motherboard header. For full speed (3500 RPM), connect the fan directly.
4.4 Customizing Appearance (Optional)
- The unit comes with interchangeable fan shroud covers in red, blue, and silver. To change the cover, gently remove the current cover and snap the desired color cover into place.
After installation, close your computer case, reconnect the power cable, and power on your system.
5. Funcionament
Once installed and powered, the Corsair Vengeance Airflow Memory Cooling Fan operates continuously to provide cooling to your RAM modules. The fan speed will depend on whether the speed control cable is used.
- Standard Operation (3500 RPM): When connected directly to a 3-pin or 4-pin fan header without the speed control cable, the fan will operate at its maximum speed of approximately 3500 RPM. This provides maximum cooling performance.
- Reduced Speed Operation (2500 RPM): When the included speed control cable is used, the fan's speed is reduced to approximately 2500 RPM. This setting offers quieter operation while still providing effective cooling.
Monitor your memory temperatures using system monitoring software to determine the optimal fan speed setting for your system's needs.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cooling fan.
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically inspect the fan blades and shroud for dust accumulation. Dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
- Procediment de neteja:
- Power off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
- Use compressed air to gently blow dust off the fan blades and surrounding areas. Hold the fan blades stationary while using compressed air to prevent over-spinning and potential damage to the bearing.
- For stubborn dust, a soft brush or cotton swab can be used. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
- Inspecció: Check the mounting clips periodically to ensure the unit remains securely attached to the RAM slots.
