• Efficient Pulse Width Modulation (PWM): PWM functionality allows the fan to automatically adjust its speed (RPM) based on component temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels.
• Daisy Chain Capable: Multiple units can be connected directly to synchronize ARGB lighting effects, simplifying cable management and lighting control.
• Motherboard ARGB Software Compatibility: The fan syncs directly with most major motherboard manufacturers' ARGB software, including Asus, MSI, and others, for comprehensive lighting customization.

3. Configuració i instal·lació

3.1 Instal·lació física

1. Identify the desired mounting location within your PC case (e.g., front, top, rear, or radiator).
2. Align the fan with the screw holes on your case or radiator. Ensure the fan is oriented to push or pull air in the desired direction for optimal airflow.
3. Secure the fan using the provided mounting screws. Tighten screws evenly to prevent warping and reduce potential vibration noise.

3.2 Connexions elèctriques

1. Connexió PWM: Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM cable to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows the motherboard to control the fan speed based on system temperatures.
2. Connexió ARGB: Connect the fan's 3-pin ARGB cable to an available 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Ensure it is a 5V ARGB header and not a 12V RGB header to prevent damage.
3. Daisy Chain (Optional): If installing multiple XPG Hurricane ARGB fans, you can connect them in a daisy chain using the provided ARGB pass-through connectors. Connect the ARGB output of one fan to the ARGB input of the next fan, and then connect the last fan's ARGB input to the motherboard header.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Control de velocitat del ventilador (PWM)

The fan's speed is automatically regulated by your motherboard's PWM function. You can typically adjust the fan curve settings within your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or through dedicated motherboard software (e.g., ASUS AI Suite, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte SIV) to customize fan behavior based on temperature thresholds.

4.2 Control d'il·luminació ARGB

To control the Addressable RGB lighting, use your motherboard's ARGB synchronization software. This software allows you to select various lighting effects, colors, and patterns. Ensure your motherboard's ARGB header is properly connected and recognized by the software.

5. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular ajuda a garantir un rendiment òptim i una llarga vida útil del ventilador:

• Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean dust accumulation from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the fan is powered off before cleaning.
• Inspecció: Check for any obstructions around the fan blades or unusual noises during operation.

6. Solució De Problemes

• El ventilador no gira:
  • Verify that the 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to the motherboard fan 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.
• La il·luminació ARGB no funciona:
  • Confirm the 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Avoid connecting to 12V RGB headers.
  • Ensure your motherboard's ARGB software is installed and updated. Check if the software detects the ARGB device.
  • If daisy-chaining, ensure all connections between fans are secure.
• Soroll excessiu:
  • Check if the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case.
  • Adjust the fan speed curve in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software to reduce RPM at lower temperatures.
  • Ensure no cables or obstructions are interfering with the fan blades.
