4. Setup è Installazione

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Phanteks D30-120 fans:

1. Plan Fan Placement: Determine the optimal placement for your fans within your PC case. Consider airflow direction (intake or exhaust) and choose between regular or reversed airflow models accordingly.
2. Link Multiple Fans (Optional): If installing multiple fans together, align them and use the provided bridge connectors to physically link them. This creates a single, cohesive unit and simplifies cable management. Secure the screw cover plates over the bridge connectors for a clean look.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Phanteks D30-120 fans operate as follows:

• Control di a velocità di u fan: The 4-Pin PWM connection allows your motherboard or fan controller to dynamically adjust the fan speed (250-2000 RPM) based on system temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels.
• D-RGB Lighting Control: The D-RGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or a dedicated Phanteks D-RGB controller. This allows for customization of colors, effects, and synchronization with other D-RGB components.
