Configuració
1. Muntatge dels ventiladors
The ARCTIC P12 Pro PST fans can be mounted in various locations within a computer chassis or on radiators. Ensure proper airflow direction for optimal cooling. The fan blades typically indicate the direction of airflow, and an arrow on the fan frame often indicates the direction of rotation and airflow.
- Identify the desired mounting location (e.g., case intake/exhaust, CPU cooler radiator, GPU radiator).
- Position the fan with the desired airflow direction.
- Secure the fan using the provided mounting screws. Tighten screws evenly to prevent warping.

2. Connecting the Fans (PWM PST)
The P12 Pro PST fans feature a 4-pin PWM connector and Power Sharing Technology (PST), allowing multiple fans to be daisy-chained from a single motherboard fan header.
- Locate an available 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard.
- Connect the main 4-pin PWM cable from the first fan to the motherboard header.
- For additional fans, connect the 4-pin PST connector from the first fan to the 4-pin PWM input of the second fan. Repeat this process for subsequent fans. This allows all connected fans to be controlled by a single PWM signal from the motherboard.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions siguin segures.

Instruccions de funcionament
The ARCTIC P12 Pro PST fans are controlled via a 4-pin PWM signal, offering precise speed adjustment and an intelligent 0 RPM mode.
- Control PWM: The fan speed can be dynamically adjusted by your motherboard or fan controller based on temperature readings. The speed range is 600 to 3000 RPM.
- 0 RPM Mode: When the PWM signal drops below 5%, the fan will stop spinning completely. This feature allows for silent operation during low-load scenarios, conserving power and reducing noise. The fan will automatically resume operation when the PWM signal increases.
- Direcció del flux d'aire: Ensure the fans are oriented to provide the desired airflow (intake or exhaust) for your system's cooling strategy.
Manteniment
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your fans.
- Eliminació de pols: Periodically inspect the fan blades and frame for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Avoid using excessive force or liquids.
- Gestió de cables: Ensure fan cables are neatly routed and secured to prevent interference with moving parts or other components.
Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your ARCTIC P12 Pro PST fans, consider the following:
- El ventilador no gira:
- Check all 4-pin PWM connections to the motherboard and between daisy-chained fans.
- Verify that the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or fan control software are configured correctly and providing a sufficient PWM signal (above 5% for operation).
- Ensure no cables or obstructions are preventing the fan blades from rotating.
- Soroll excessiu:
- Check for loose mounting screws; tighten them evenly.
- Assegureu-vos que cap cable toqui les aspes del ventilador.
- Adjust fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software to a lower RPM if noise is a concern at higher speeds.
- Inspect for any foreign objects caught in the fan blades.
