5. Setup u Installazzjoni

Follow these steps to install your Thermalright ARGB Fan Hub Controller:

1. Connect PWM Signal Cable: Connect one end of the PWM signal cable to the PWM INPUT socket on the fan hub. Connect the other end to a FAN socket on your motherboard. This allows the motherboard to control fan speeds.
2. Connect SATA Power Cable: Connect the SATA power cable to the hub's SATA input port. Then, connect the other end of the SATA power cable to an available SATA power connector from your power supply unit (PSU). This provides power to the hub and connected ARGB devices.
3. Install Fan Cables: Connect your ARGB fan cables to the labeled "FAN" sockets on the hub. Ensure correct orientation. Note that fan speed readings are typically only available from the red-colored socket.
4. Immonta l-Hub: Apply the provided double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the fan hub. Choose a suitable, flat location inside your PC case, typically behind the motherboard tray, and firmly press the hub into place.

6. Operating the ARGB Fan Hub

Once installed, the Thermalright ARGB Fan Hub Controller Rev. A will allow your connected ARGB fans and other devices to synchronize their lighting effects with your motherboard. The hub itself does not have controls for adjusting lighting colors or patterns. These adjustments are managed through your motherboard's dedicated ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or a separate ARGB controller if your motherboard lacks a 3-pin 5V ARGB header.

7. Manutenzjoni

If you encounter issues with your ARGB Fan Hub, consider the following:

• L-ebda Dawl ARGB:
  • Check if the SATA power cable is securely connected to both the hub and the PSU.
  • Verify that the 3-pin 5V ARGB cables from your fans are correctly inserted into the hub's ports. Ensure no pins are bent or misaligned.
  • Confirm that the PWM signal cable is properly connected to both the hub and the motherboard's ARGB header.
  • Kun żgur li s-softwer ARGB tal-motherboard tiegħek huwa installat u kkonfigurat b'mod korrett.
  • Double-check that you are not attempting to connect 12V 4-pin RGB devices, as these are incompatible and can cause damage.
• Incorrect Fan Speed Readings:
  • The hub typically reads fan speed only from the designated red-colored fan socket. Ensure the fan you wish to monitor is connected to this specific port.
  • Verify the PWM signal cable connection to the motherboard.
• Konnessjonijiet sfużi: If lights or fans intermittently stop working, check all cable connections (SATA power, PWM signal, and fan ARGB cables) to ensure they are firmly seated.
