3. Setup agus Stàladh
Follow these steps to properly install your MONTECH AX120 PRO fans:
- Ullaich an siostam agad: Dèan cinnteach gu bheil an coimpiutair agad dheth agus gun am pluga a-mach às a’ bhalla. Fosgail cùis a’ choimpiutair agad gus faighinn gu na h-àiteachan far a bheil an luchd-leantainn air an cur suas.
- Cuir na luchd-leantainn suas: 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.
- Connect ARGB Cables: 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.
- Riaghladh càbaill: Route all cables neatly to ensure proper airflow within the case and a clean aesthetic.

4. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh
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.
- Smachd fèin-ghluasadach: 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.
- Atharrachadh làimhe: You can typically adjust fan curves and set custom speed profiles through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or dedicated fan control software provided by your motherboard manufacturer.

4.2. Smachd Solais ARGB
The AX120 PRO fans feature Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting, allowing for customizable lighting effects. The lighting is controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software.
- Sioncronachadh Bathar-bog: 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.
- Smachd Neo-eisimeileach: 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.

6. A ’dèanamh trioblaid
If you encounter issues with your MONTECH AX120 PRO fans, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Luchd-leantainn gun a bhith a’ snìomh:
- Ensure the fan hub is correctly connected to the PSU via the SATA power cable.
- Verify that the 4-pin PWM cables from the fans are securely connected to the fan hub, and the fan hub's PWM cable is connected to a motherboard fan header.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure fan headers are enabled and configured correctly.
- Gun sholais ARGB:
- Confirm the 3-pin ARGB cables from the fans are connected to the fan hub, and the fan hub's ARGB cable is connected to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard.
- Cudromach: Do not connect to a 4-pin 12V RGB header.
- Ensure the fan hub is receiving power from the PSU via SATA.
- Check your motherboard's ARGB software for lighting control and ensure it is running and configured.
- Fuaim cus:
- Verify that the fans are securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. The fans include anti-vibration pads.
- Check for any cables or obstructions interfering with the fan blades.
- Adjust fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software to a lower RPM if noise is a concern at idle.
- Glan duslach sam bith a tha air cruinneachadh air lannan an luchd-leantainn.
