5. Instrucciones de configuración

5.1 Montaje del ventilador

  1. Identify the desired mounting location in your PC case or on your radiator. Ensure proper airflow direction (typically, the side with the fan motor label is the exhaust side).
  2. Align the fan with the screw holes.
  3. Fije el ventilador con los tornillos de montaje incluidos. No los apriete demasiado.

5.2 Wire-Free Splicing (Connecting Multiple Fans)

The ZK-120 fans feature a wire-free splicing design for easy connection of multiple units.

  1. Take two ZK-120 fans. Locate the male and female splicing connectors on the sides of the fan frames.
  2. Carefully align and push the connectors together until they click into place, forming a secure physical and electrical connection.
  3. Repeat this process for additional fans if you are installing more than two.

5.3 Conexiones de cable

After splicing the fans, you will have a single set of cables to connect to your motherboard or controller.

  1. PWM 4-PIN Connector: Connect the 4-pin PWM cable from the fan assembly to an available 4-pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows for fan speed control.
  2. ARGB 3-PIN Connector: Connect the 3-pin 5V ARGB cable from the fan assembly to an available 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or a dedicated ARGB controller. Ensure it is a 5V header, not a 12V RGB header, to prevent damage.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

6.1 control de velocidad del ventilador

The ZK-120 fans utilize PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for speed control. Once connected to a 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard, you can control the fan speed through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated software provided by your motherboard manufacturer (e.g., ASUS Fan Xpert, MSI Dragon Center, GIGABYTE SIV).

6.2 Control de iluminación ARGB

For customizable lighting effects, ensure the 3-pin 5V ARGB connector is properly connected. You can then control the lighting via:

  • Software de la placa base: Use your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to select various lighting modes, colors, and effects.
  • Controlador ARGB externo: If your motherboard lacks a 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you may use a separate ARGB controller (not included) to manage the lighting.

7. Mantenimiento

7.1 Limpieza

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fans.

  • Apague su PC y desconéctela de la fuente de alimentación antes de limpiarla.
  • Use compressed air to gently blow dust off the fan blades and frame.
  • For stubborn dust, use a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the fan.

7.2 Bearing Maintenance

The ZK-120 fans are equipped with FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearings), which are designed to be maintenance-free and offer a long operational life. No lubrication or special maintenance is required for the bearings.

8. Solución de problemas

8.1 El ventilador no gira

  • Verifique la conexión de energía: Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into a functional fan header on your motherboard.
  • Configuración del BIOS: Verify that the fan header is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings and that the fan curve is set appropriately (e.g., not set to 0 RPM at low temperatures).
  • Empalme de cables: If using multiple fans, ensure all wire-free splicing connections are firm and correctly aligned.

8.2 ARGB Lighting Not Working or Incorrect

  • Comprobar la conexión ARGB: Ensure the 3-pin 5V ARGB connector is securely plugged into a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard or controller. Do NOT connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.
  • Control de software: Make sure your motherboard's ARGB software is installed and updated. Check if the lighting effects are enabled and configured correctly within the software.
  • Funcionalidad del controlador: Si utiliza un controlador ARGB externo, asegúrese de que esté encendido y funcione correctamente.

8.3 Ruido excesivo

  • Montaje: Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case or radiator. Check that all mounting screws are tightened appropriately.
  • Obstrucciones: Verify that no cables or other components are touching the fan blades.
  • Acumulación de polvo: Clean the fan blades and frame as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Velocidad del ventilador: If the noise is due to high RPM, adjust the fan speed curve in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software to a lower setting.

9. Consejos para el usuario

  • Flujo de aire óptimo: When installing multiple fans, pay attention to airflow direction. Typically, fans should draw cool air into the case and exhaust hot air out. The ZK-120 features reverse cooling blades, which can be useful for specific airflow configurations.
  • Sistema de organización de cables: Utilize the wire-free splicing feature to minimize cable clutter, especially in builds with multiple fans. Use the segmented extension cable for connections across different sections of your case.
  • Personalización ARGB: Experiment with different lighting effects and colors using your motherboard's software to match your system's aesthetic or create unique visual themes.
