Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP Dual Fan Set Instruction Manual

1. Įvadas

The Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP is a dual fan set engineered for high-performance quiet cooling in various PC applications. This set is optimized for push-pull configurations and scenarios where multiple fans operate side-by-side, such as on CPU coolers, water cooling radiators, or as case intake/exhaust fans.

Key features include a Progressive Bend impeller with winglets and Centrifugal Turbulator, Flow Acceleration Channels, and an AAO frame, all constructed from Sterrox LCP for ultra-tight tip clearance. The fans utilize Noctua's premium-grade SSO2 bearing for long-term stability and quiet operation.

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP fan set.

3.1 Mounting the Fans

1. Nustatykite montavimo vietą: Determine whether the fans will be used as case fans, on a CPU cooler, or on a water cooling radiator.
2. Choose Mounting Hardware: Use either the provided fan screws for rigid mounting or the NA-AV2 anti-vibration mounts for reduced vibration transmission.
3. Secure Fans: Attach the fans to the desired mounting points. For push-pull configurations on CPU coolers or radiators, ensure the airflow direction of both fans is aligned (one pushing air through, one pulling air through). The fans in this set are slightly offset in speed to minimize acoustic interaction in such setups.

3.2 Connecting the Fans

1. Maitinimo jungtis: Connect the 4-pin PWM cable of each fan to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard or fan controller.
2. Using Y-Cables: If your motherboard has insufficient 4-pin headers, use the provided NA-YC1 4-pin PWM Y-cables to connect both fans to a single motherboard header. This allows both fans to be controlled simultaneously.
3. Prailginimo kabeliai: Use the NA-EC1 30cm extension cables if the standard fan cables are not long enough to reach the desired fan headers.
4. Low-Noise Adaptors (Optional): For reduced fan speed and noise levels, connect the NA-RC14 Low-Noise Adaptors (L.N.A.) between the fan and the motherboard header. Note that using L.N.A. will reduce the maximum fan speed.

4. Operating the Fans

The NF-A12x25 G2 PWM fans are equipped with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for automatic speed control. Your motherboard or fan controller will adjust the fan speed based on system temperature, optimizing the balance between cooling performance and noise levels.

• Automatinis valdymas: Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or fan control software is configured to utilize PWM control for the connected fan headers.
• Rankinis valdymas: Most motherboards and fan controllers allow for manual adjustment of fan curves or fixed speeds if desired.
• Mažo triukšmo veikimas: For systems prioritizing silence, consider using the included Low-Noise Adaptors (L.N.A.) to permanently reduce the maximum fan speed and noise output.

5. Priežiūra

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Noctua fans.

• Dulkių šalinimas: Periodically inspect the fan blades and frame for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Ensure the fan is powered off before cleaning.
• Guolių priežiūra: The SSO2 bearing system is self-lubricating and requires no additional lubrication throughout its lifespan.

6. Problemų sprendimas

If you encounter issues with your Noctua fans, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• Ventiliatorius nesisuka:
  • Check if the 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to the motherboard or fan controller.
  • Patikrinkite, ar pagrindinės plokštės ventiliatoriaus lizdas įjungtas BIOS / UEFI nustatymuose.
  • Ensure the power supply is providing adequate power to the system.
  • If using a Y-cable, ensure both fans are properly connected to it.
• Per didelis triukšmas:
  • Patikrinkite, ar ventiliatoriaus mentes neliečia jokių laidų ar kliūčių.
  • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case or cooler. Use NA-AV2 anti-vibration mounts if not already in use.
  • Consider using the NA-RC14 Low-Noise Adaptors (L.N.A.) to reduce fan speed.
  • Verify fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software.
• Prastas aušinimo našumas:
  • Confirm the fan's airflow direction is correct for your application (e.g., pushing air into the case, exhausting air out).
  • Įsitikinkite, kad nėra kliūčių, blokuojančių oro srautą į ventiliatorių arba iš jo.
  • Check fan speed settings; increase speed if temperatures are too high.
  • Clean any dust accumulation on the fan blades or heatsink/radiator fins.
