4. Eto Itọsọna

Follow these steps to install your Thermalright Fan HUB Controller REV. A:

1. Mura Ibudo naa: If using the adhesive, peel off the protective film from the double-sided tape on the back of the hub. If using magnetic mounting, ensure the surface inside your PC case is metallic.
2. So Ibudo naa sori ẹrọ: Choose a suitable location inside your PC case, preferably in an area that allows for easy cable routing. Secure the hub using either the strong adhesive or the magnetic base.
3. Connect Fans: Connect your 4-pin PWM PC fans to the available fan ports on the hub. The hub has 5 ports on each side.
4. Connect to Motherboard (PWM Signal): Connect the included PWM signal cable from the hub's "PWM INPUT" port to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard (e.g., CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN). This connection allows your motherboard to control the fan speeds.
5. So agbara: Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply unit (PSU) to the SATA power input port on the fan hub. This provides stable power to all connected fans. Note: The SATA cable is not included with this product and must be purchased separately.

• Iṣakoso Iyara Fan: The hub supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) functionality. Fan speeds are controlled by the motherboard's PWM signal connected to the hub's PWM input. You can adjust fan curves and speeds through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or compatible software.
• Fan Speed Monitoring: Due to the design principle of PWM motherboard ICs, the hub can only report the speed of a single fan. Ensure your primary fan (e.g., CPU fan) is connected to the red-colored fan port on the hub for accurate speed monitoring by your motherboard. Other ports will receive the PWM signal but will not report individual speeds.

6. Itọju

• Ninu: Periodically inspect the hub and its connections for dust buildup. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently clean the device. Ensure your PC is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Ṣayẹwo Asopọmọra: Occasionally verify that all fan cables, the PWM signal cable, and the SATA power cable are securely connected to the hub and motherboard/PSU.
• Awọn ipo Ayika: Ensure the hub is installed in a well-ventilated area within your PC case to prevent overheating.

  • Ensure the SATA power cable is securely connected to both the hub and the PSU.
  • Rii daju pe PSU n pese agbara.
  • Check if individual fan cables are properly seated in the hub ports.
• Fan Speed Not Detected:
  • Confirm that the fan you wish to monitor is connected to the red-colored fan port on the hub.
  • Ensure the PWM input cable from the hub is connected to a 4-pin fan header on your motherboard.
  • Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings for fan monitoring options.
• No Fan Speed Control:
  • Verify the PWM input cable is correctly connected to a 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard.
  • Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured for PWM control for the connected header.
• RGB/ARGB Lighting Issues:
  • This fan hub is designed for fan power and PWM control only. It ko ṣe provide RGB or ARGB lighting control. If your fans have RGB/ARGB lighting, they require a separate RGB/ARGB controller or a direct connection to a compatible motherboard header for lighting functionality.
