Follow these steps to properly install your MONTECH AX120 PRO fans:
- Mura Eto Rẹ: Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your computer case to access the fan mounting locations.
- So awọn Afẹfẹ pọ: Position each AX120 PRO fan in your desired location (e.g., front intake, rear exhaust, top exhaust). Use the included mounting screws to secure the fans to the case. Ensure the fan's airflow direction is correct for your cooling strategy. The AX series fans typically blow air from the RGB end to the non-RGB end.
- Connect to Fan Hub: Connect the 4-pin PWM cable from each fan to an available 4-pin fan header on the included ARGB Fan Hub.
- So awọn okun ARGB pọ: Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable from each fan to an available 3-pin ARGB header on the fan hub. Ensure correct orientation to avoid damage.
- Connect Fan Hub to Motherboard:
- Connect the 4-pin PWM cable from the fan hub to a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard (e.g., CPU_FAN, SYS_FAN). This allows for fan speed control.
- Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable from the fan hub to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. This enables software control of the fan lighting. Do not connect to a 4-pin 12V RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.
- Connect Fan Hub Power: Connect the SATA power connector from your power supply unit (PSU) to the ARGB Fan Hub. This provides power to both the fans and the ARGB lighting.
- Iṣakoso USB: Route all cables neatly to ensure proper airflow within the case and a clean aesthetic.

4.1. PWM Fan Speed Control
The AX120 PRO fans utilize Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard to dynamically adjust fan speeds based on system temperature. This provides an optimal balance between cooling performance and noise levels. Fan speeds can range from 600 to 1600 RPM.
- Iṣakoso Aifọwọyi: Once connected to a 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard, the fan speed will be automatically regulated by your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system software.

The AX120 PRO fans feature Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, allowing for customizable lighting effects. The lighting is controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software.
- Software Synchronization: Connect the fan hub's ARGB cable to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Use your motherboard's RGB control software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize lighting patterns, colors, and effects.
- Iṣakoso Ominira: If your motherboard does not have an ARGB header, or if you prefer, a separate ARGB controller (not included) can be used to manage the lighting.
