Opsætning og installation
Follow these steps to properly install your DEEPCOOL TF120S fan:
- Prepare your System: Sluk din computer, og afbryd den fra strømkilden. Åbn computerens kabinet for at få adgang til monteringsstederne for ventilatoren.
- Identificér monteringssted: Determine where you want to install the fan (e.g., front intake, rear exhaust, top exhaust, or on a CPU liquid cooler radiator). Ensure the fan's airflow direction (usually indicated by arrows on the fan frame) matches your desired cooling configuration.
- Monter blæseren: Align the fan with the screw holes on your case or radiator. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the fan firmly. Do not overtighten the screws.
- Tilslut ventilatorkablet: The TF120S fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector. Locate an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. Common headers include 'CPU_FAN', 'CPU_OPT', or 'SYS_FAN'. Connect the fan's 4-pin cable to the chosen header.
- Optional Low-Speed Adapter (LSP): If you desire a quieter operation with reduced fan speed, you can connect the included Low-Speed Adapter cable between the fan and the motherboard header. This will limit the maximum fan speed and noise output.

Operation
The DEEPCOOL TF120S fan operates using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, allowing your motherboard or fan controller to dynamically adjust the fan speed based on system temperature. This ensures efficient cooling when needed and quieter operation during lighter loads.
- Standarddrift: When connected directly to a 4-pin PWM header, the fan speed will range from 500 to 1800 RPM, providing an airflow of up to 64.4 CFM and an air pressure of 2.33 mmAq.
- Low-Speed Operation (with LSP): If the Low-Speed Adapter is used, the fan speed will be limited to a range of 400 to 1500 RPM, resulting in reduced noise (≤25.9 dB(A)) and airflow (37.1 CFM) for a quieter computing experience.

Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your TF120S fan:
- Rensning: Periodically inspect the fan blades and frame for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Ensure the fan is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
- Leje: The TF120S utilizes a Hydro Bearing, which is designed for a long operational life of up to 50,000 hours and requires no lubrication or special maintenance.
- Vibrationsabsorbering: The fan frame incorporates 8 rubber pads on the corners to absorb vibration and reduce noise. Ensure these pads are intact and properly seated during installation.

Fejlfinding
- Ventilatoren drejer ikke:
- Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the fan header is enabled and configured correctly (e.g., not set to 'off' or a very low minimum speed).
- Test the fan on a different fan header or with a known working fan controller if available.
- Fan is Too Loud:
- Verify if the Low-Speed Adapter (LSP) is installed. If not, consider installing it for reduced noise.
- Adjust the fan curve settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or through fan control software (e.g., Fan Control, Argus Monitor) to lower fan speeds at idle or low temperatures.
- Ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.
- Check for dust buildup and clean the fan if necessary.
- Dårlig køleydelse:
- Confirm the fan is oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake or exhaust) within your case.
- Sørg for, at der ikke er nogen forhindringer, der blokerer luftstrømmen til eller fra ventilatoren.
- If used on a radiator, ensure the radiator fins are clean and not clogged with dust.
- Check your system's overall airflow configuration.
Brugertips
- Optimal luftstrøm: For best cooling, ensure a balanced airflow within your PC case. Typically, front and bottom fans act as intake, while rear and top fans act as exhaust.
- Fan Curve Customization: Utilize your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or dedicated software to create custom fan curves. This allows you to fine-tune the fan speed to balance cooling performance and noise levels according to your preferences and system load.
- Kabelstyring: Før ventilatorkablerne pænt for at forhindre, at de kommer i kontakt med ventilatorbladene eller blokerer luftstrømmen.
