2. CREATE A FAN GROUP

  • Daisy-chain each fan’s PWM connector from one to the next until you’ve completed the chain.

* Skip this step if you plan to use the fan individually.

3. CONNECT FAN(S) TO 4-PIN OR 3-PIN FAN HEADER

  • Connect the PWM extension into an available 3-pin or 4-pin fan header on your motherboard or fan controller. A 4-pin header is necessary for PWM control.
  • Ensure that the fan connector guides line up with the guide on the fan header.

FAN SETUP

Fan speeds are configured and managed by the devices to which the 4-pin cable is connected. In most situations this is typically the motherboard via a fan header, which would require entering BIOS to configure fan speeds. Please refer to your motherboard manual for additional details.


FAQ

Can I connect the 4-pin cable connector into a 3-pin fan header on the motherboard or fan controller?

Yes, you can, but keep in mind, installing a 4-pin connector on a 3-pin header will no longer benefit from PWM control.



In which direction does the air flow?

RS_MAX_FAQ_Image

CORSAIR fans have little arrows on the side of the fan frame that indicate the direction the fan blades spin as well as the direction in which the air flows.



How many fans can I chain together?

Most motherboard fan headers can typically provide up to 1A, which would be about 3 fans.
