FAN INSTALLATION

BEFORE YOU START: Turn the computer off prior to the installation of the RS120-R fans.

1. INSTALL THE RS120-R ARGB FANS INSIDE THE CASE

  • Mount the RS120-R fans onto your case with the supplied Fan Mounting Screws (2).

2. CREATE A FAN GROUP

  • Daisy-chain each fan’s PWM connector from one to the next until you’ve completed the chain.

* Skip this step if you plan to use the RS ARGB fans individually.

3. CREATE AN ARGB GROUP

  • Daisy-chain each fan’s RGB connector from one to the next until you’ve completed the chain.

* Skip this step if you plan to use the RS ARGB fans individually.

4. CONNECT THE FAN(S) TO A 4-PIN OR 3-PIN FAN HEADER

  • Connect the male end of the PWM Extension Cable (3) to the female PWM connector on the last fan.
  • Connect the female end of the PWM Extension Cable (3) to an available 3-pin or 4-pin fan header on your motherboard or fan controller.
NOTE: A 4-pin header is required for full PWM functionality.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the alignment guides on the fan connector match the notch on the fan header before making the connection.

5. CONNECT THE FAN(S) TO A +5V ARGB HEADER

  • Connect the male end of the ARGB Extension Cable (4) to the female ARGB connector on the last fan.
  • Plug the female end of the ARGB Extension Cable (4) into an available +5V ARGB header on your motherboard or fan controller.

IMPORTANT: Look for the arrow indicator on one side of the ARGB connector and match it up with the +5V pin on the ARGB header before plugging it in.

FAN SETUP

1. CONFIGURE FAN SPEED

Fan speeds are configured and managed by the devices to which the 4-pin cable is connected. In most situations this is typically the motherboard via a fan header, which requires entering BIOS to configure fan speeds. Please refer to your motherboard manual for additional details.

2. CONFIGURE FAN LIGHTING

Fan lighting is configured and managed by the device to which the +5V ARGB cable is connected. In most situations this is typically the motherboard via a +5V ARGB header, which requires entering BIOS to configure lighting effects. Please refer to your motherboard manual for additional details.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I connect the 4-pin cable connector into a 3-pin fan header on the motherboard or fan controller?

Yes, you can, but keep in mind, installing a 4-pin connector on a 3-pin header will no longer benefit from PWM control.

In which direction does the air flow?

CORSAIR fans have little arrows on the side of the fan frame that indicate the direction the fan blades spin as well as the direction in which the air flows.

How many fans can I chain together?

Most motherboard fan headers can typically provide up to 1 Amp of current, which would be about 3 fans.
