Performance Questions
Q6: How loud is the fan?
A: At maximum speed (1900 RPM), the fan operates at "≤35 dBA" – similar to a quiet library. Under normal use, the fan runs much quieter. The 3-pin connector supports voltage control (DC mode), allowing you to adjust the fan curve in BIOS for even quieter operation.
Q7: What kind of fan connector does it use? Can I control the speed?**
A:** The fan uses a **3-pin connector** and supports **voltage control (DC mode)** for speed adjustment. You can set a custom fan curve in your motherboard's BIOS to automatically regulate speed based on CPU temperature.
Technical Questions
Q8: Will this cooler fit in my small form factor (ITX) case?
A: The fan measures 124 × 124 × 32 mm. We recommend checking your case's maximum CPU cooler height clearance before purchasing. For compact ITX builds, consider our G5 or J8 series designed specifically for smaller cases.
Q9: Is the fan bearing replaceable? What type of bearing does it use?
A: The fan bearing is not user-replaceable. Please contact our support team if you experience any fan issues during the warranty period.
