Host compatibility and handling
- No CPU socket compatibility is claimed: this is a chassis/radiator fan, not a heatsink. Match the frame, mounting-hole pattern, depth, and airflow direction to the case or radiator manual.
- 120 mm mount. Fan-motor power/control and lighting use separate host connections; match the documented A-RGB voltage, pin layout, and lead arrangement.
- Before using a PST lead, calculate the combined current of every fan connected to that output; do not exceed the motherboard or controller channel rating.
- Keep motor power/control distinct from any lighting connection. Match exact pinout and voltage to the host manual; never force a keyed plug or connect an addressable-lighting lead to an incompatible 12 V RGB header.
- Unplug the host before installation. Keep fingers and loose wiring away from blades; replace cracked frames or damaged cables and investigate bearing noise rather than blocking a fan.
Model notes
A-RGB describes the lighting on this fan; do not mistake its lighting connection for motor power or force-fit an incompatible RGB header. Verify the exact lead arrangement in the product documentation.
Vendor airflow and pressure ratings are model/test-condition specifications, not a guarantee of the same result in a particular case or radiator. Confirm installed fan curves, actual clearances, and host current budget.
