The 120mm fan utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quiet operation during lighter loads. You can typically configure fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or through manufacturer-provided software.

Fan specifications and intelligent control.

6.2. ARGB Lighting Customization

The cooler features Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, which can be synchronized with your motherboard's RGB software. Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Supported software includes:
