Compatibility and installation
- Verify the CO-9050174-WW non-RGB SKU; cable and lighting behavior differ on AF RGB ELITE products.
- Connect the 4-pin fan lead to a rated PWM header/controller; avoid exceeding the header’s aggregate current rating.
- Check fan orientation and 25 mm frame clearance at the radiator, filter, GPU, and side panel.
Service notes
Disconnect power before dusting; restrain the rotor to avoid overspin. Inspect fan wiring and mounting points and replace the unit if the frame or bearing is damaged.
