FAN INSTALLATION (ARGB - 480T RGB MODEL ONLY)


MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE FANS

IMPORTANT: Turn your system off prior to installing your AR RGB fans.

1. Mount the fans inside your case with the provided mounting screws:
- Front: 3x 120mm* / 2x 140mm (A)
- Top: 3x 120mm / 2x 140mm (B)
- Rear: 1x 120mm (C)

2. If you are using a single fan, connect the RGB LED cable from the AR RGB fan to the ARGB adapter cable to enable 5V ARGB (Addressable RGB) 3-pin header connection. If you are using a triple fan kit, connect the RGB LED cables from each AR RGB fan in sequence (1 > 2 > 3) to the 1-to-3 adapter cable.

CONNECTING THE ARGB CONNECTOR

Connect the ARGB connector from the ARGB adapter cable or 1-to-3 ARGB adapter cable to the +5V ARGB header on a compatible motherboard.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the arrow indicator on the ARGB adapter connector is aligned with the +5V pin on the +5V ARGB header.

CONNECTING THE PWM CONNECTOR

Connect the 4-pin PWM connector into an available 3-pin or 4-pin (recommended) fan header on your motherboard or fan controller. You can use fan splitter cables (sold separately) if your motherboard does not have enough fan headers.

NOTE: Connecting the 4-pin PWM connector into a 3-pin fan header will cause your AR RGB to only spin at full speed.

ARGB SETUP

To ensure that the ARGB header on your motherboard functions properly, it is important to follow the proper procedures for installing the necessary software. The specific software you need to install may vary depending on the make and model of your motherboard, so it is important to refer to your motherboard's manual to determine the exact steps you should follow.

Typically, you will need to download and install a specific software program provided by the motherboard manufacturer. This software program will allow you to control and customize the lighting effects on your ARGB components.


FAN INSTALLATION FOR iCUE CONTROL (Optional)


MOUNT LIGHTNING CONTROLLER AND FANS

IMPORTANT: Turn your system off prior to installing your AR RGB fans.

1. Find a location for the iCUE lighting controller that allows the fan RGB LED cable to reach the controller, then mount it with mounting strips included with the controller. The Lighting Node CORE is used as an example in this installation illustration; it is recommended to follow the instructions included with your chosen iCUE lighting controller.

2. Mount the fans inside your case with the provided mounting screws:
- Front: 3x 120mm / 2x 140mm (A)
- Top: 3x 120mm / 2x 140mm (B)
- Rear: 1x 120mm (C)
