Frequently Asked Questions
What does the swappable fan blade design do?
It lets you physically swap the blade assembly to switch between standard and reverse airflow orientations without remounting the fan, so you can configure intake or exhaust as needed.
How do the magnetic cables work?
The included Mag-cables use neodymium magnets to snap fans together in a daisy chain, so multiple fans share a single cable run back to the motherboard header, reducing cable clutter.
How is the ARGB lighting controlled?
The fans connect via a 5V 3-pin ARGB header and are controlled through your motherboard's RGB sync software, such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion.
What is the maximum fan speed and noise level?
The fans run up to 2000 RPM via PWM control, producing up to 30.6 dB-A in standard orientation and 32.5 dB-A in reverse orientation.
What size are these fans?
These are 140mm (140 x 140 x 25 mm) fans.
