4. Configurazione e installazione

Follow these steps to install your GameMax Mirage 120mm PC Cooling Fan:

1. Prepara il tuo sistema: Power off your computer and unplug it from the power outlet. Open your computer case to access the fan mounting locations.
2. Montare la ventola: Position the fan in your desired location (e.g., case front, rear, top, or radiator). Ensure the airflow direction is correct for your cooling setup. Use the four included mounting screws to secure the fan to the chassis or radiator. The fan features rubber pads on the corners to help reduce vibration.
3. Collegare l'alimentazione della ventola: Locate the 3-pin power connector on the fan cable. Connect this cable to an available 3-pin fan header on your motherboard or a fan controller.
4. Collega l'illuminazione RGB: Locate the 5V addressable 3-pin Aura connector on the fan cable. Connect this to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard (often labeled 'VDG' or 'ARGB') or an external RGB controller/hub. Warning: Do not connect this to a 12V RGB header, as it will damage the LEDs.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

Once installed, the GameMax Mirage fan operates as follows:

• Controllo della velocità della ventola: The fan speed is controlled via the 3-pin power connector. If connected to a motherboard fan header, the speed can typically be adjusted through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated software.
• Controllo dell'illuminazione RGB: The Rainbow LED lighting is controlled via the 5V addressable 3-pin Aura connector.
• If connected to a compatible motherboard (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync), you can use the motherboard's software to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization with other ARGB components.
• If connected to an external RGB hub/controller, refer to the instructions provided with your specific hub/controller for lighting customization options.

6. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare aiuta a garantire prestazioni ottimali e longevità della ventola di raffreddamento:

• Pulizia della polvere: Ispezionare periodicamente le pale e il telaio della ventola per verificare la presenza di polvere. Utilizzare aria compressa o una spazzola morbida per rimuovere delicatamente la polvere. Assicurarsi che la ventola sia spenta e scollegata prima di pulirla.
• Ispezione dei cavi: Occasionally check the power and RGB cables for any signs of wear or damage.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• La ventola non gira:
  • Ensure the 3-pin power connector is securely plugged into a functional fan header on the motherboard or controller.
  • Check motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the fan header is enabled and configured correctly.
• LEDs Not Lighting Up or Incorrect Colors:
  • Verify the 5V addressable 3-pin Aura connector is securely connected to a compatible 5V ARGB header (not 12V RGB).
  • Ensure your motherboard's RGB software or external controller is properly installed and configured.
  • If using a splitter or hub, ensure it is powered and functioning correctly.
• Rumore eccessivo:
  • Controllare che non vi siano cavi o ostruzioni che interferiscano con le pale della ventola.
  • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and the rubber pads are properly seated to absorb vibrations.
  • Dust accumulation can cause imbalance and noise; clean the fan as described in the Maintenance section.
