3.1 Wireless Splicing

The TL-M12QW X3 fans feature a unique wireless splicing design, allowing multiple fans to connect directly to each other without individual cables for power and ARGB signals. This simplifies cable management significantly.

Wireless Splicing Mechanism

To splice fans:

  1. Align the snap-on connectors on the sides of the fans.
  2. Gently push the fans together until they click into place, ensuring a secure connection.
  3. The modular control line will then provide power and ARGB signals to the entire spliced unit.

The stable patchwork solution transmits signals and power supplies through contacts between fans.

3.2 Fan Installation and Disassembly

The fans are designed for simple installation and removal.

Fan Installation and Disassembly Steps
Visual guide for installing and disassembling the fan unit.

Montavimas:

  1. Position the fan unit in your desired location (case or radiator).
  2. Secure the fan using appropriate screws (not explicitly shown but implied by standard fan installation).

Išardymas:

  1. Unscrew the fan unit from its mounting.
  2. Gently pull the fans apart from their spliced connection.

3.3 Kabelių jungtys

Despite wireless splicing between fans, a main control line is required to connect the fan unit to your motherboard or ARGB controller.

PWM and ARGB Cable Connectors
The 4-pin PWM cable for fan speed control and 3-pin 5V ARGB cable for lighting effects.
PWM and ARGB Fan Power Supply Interface
Diagram showing the PWM fan power supply interface and ARGB fan light interface. Note: The wire of the control line needs to be connected to the fan side with a pin. Please be careful not to connect to the other side.

Connect the following cables from the modular control line to your motherboard or controller:

  • 4-Pin PWM Cable: Connect this to a 4-pin fan header on your motherboard for fan speed control.
  • 3-Pin 5V ARGB Cable: Connect this to a 5V-3pin Addressable RGB header on your motherboard or a compatible ARGB controller for lighting synchronization. Do NOT connect to a 12V RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.

4. Naudojimo instrukcijos

4.1 Ventiliatoriaus greičio valdymas

The fan speed can be controlled via the 4-pin PWM connection. This allows your motherboard or fan controller to dynamically adjust the fan speed (450-2000 RPM) based on system temperature, optimizing for either performance or silence.

4.2 ARGB Sync Lighting

The TL-M12QW X3 fans feature Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting with infinity mirror effects on both sides. This allows for a wide range of customizable lighting patterns and synchronization with other ARGB components in your system.

ARGB Sync Lighting Compatibility
The fan supports ARGB synchronization with major motherboard software including ASUS AURA, RAZER CHROMA, GIGABYTE RGB FUSION, MSI MYSTIC LIGHT, and ASROCK POLYCHROME SYNC.

To control the ARGB lighting:

  1. Ensure the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller.
  2. Use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or your dedicated ARGB controller software to customize lighting effects, colors, and synchronization.

5. Priežiūra

5.1 Valymas

To maintain optimal performance and aesthetics, periodically clean your fans:

  • Išjunkite kompiuterį ir atjunkite maitinimo šaltinį.
  • Use compressed air to remove dust from the fan blades and frame.
  • For stubborn dirt, gently wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.

5.2 Bearing Information

The TL-M12QW X3 fans utilize high-precision S-FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearings) which are designed for long durability and are maintenance-free. There is no need to add lubricant.

Svarbu: Do not disassemble the fan. Self-disassembly may result in loss of functionality and void the product warranty.

6. Problemų sprendimas

  • Ventiliatorius nesisuka:
    Ensure the 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to a fan header on your motherboard. Check BIOS/UEFI settings or fan control software to ensure the fan header is enabled and receiving power.
  • ARGB lemputės neveikia / neteisingos spalvos:
    Verify the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V-3pin ARGB header (not 12V RGB). Check your motherboard's RGB software or ARGB controller settings. Ensure all spliced fans are properly connected to each other.
  • Per didelis triukšmas:
    Check for any obstructions (cables, debris) hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and the silicone corner pads are properly seated to reduce vibration. If noise persists, it may indicate a bearing issue (though unlikely with FDB bearings) or an issue with fan balance.
  • Fans Not Splicing Correctly:
    Ensure the snap-on connectors are aligned correctly and pushed firmly until they click. Check for any bent pins or debris in the connectors.

7. Vartotojo patarimai

  • When planning your build, consider the direction of airflow (intake vs. exhaust) for optimal cooling. The fan's design allows for clear air intake/outlet visualization.
  • Utilize the wireless splicing feature to minimize cable clutter in your PC case, leading to a cleaner build and improved airflow.
  • Experiment with different ARGB lighting patterns and synchronization options through your motherboard software to personalize your system's aesthetics.
  • Regularly check for dust accumulation, especially if your PC operates in a dusty environment, to maintain fan efficiency and longevity.

8. Garantija ir palaikymas

The Thermalright TL-M12QW X3 fan comes with a three-year warranty. Please retain your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
