4. Einrichtung und Installation

Follow these steps to install your Xigmatek Galaxy II Elite AY120 ARGB fans:

  1. Bereiten Sie Ihr System vor: Schalten Sie Ihren Computer aus und trennen Sie ihn vom Stromnetz. Öffnen Sie das Computergehäuse.
  2. Montieren Sie die Ventilatoren:
    • Identify the desired mounting locations for the 120mm fans within your PC case (e.g., front, top, rear).
    • Secure each fan to the case using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fan's airflow direction is appropriate for your cooling setup (typically intake at the front/bottom, exhaust at the rear/top).
  3. Connect Fans to Control Box:
    • Connect the 6-pin fan cables from each of the three AY120 ARGB fans to the corresponding ports on the ARGB Control Box.
    • Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Verbindungen fest sind.
  4. Connect Control Box to Power:
    • Connect the SATA power connector from your power supply unit (PSU) to the ARGB Control Box. This provides power to the fans and RGB lighting.
  5. Connect Control Box to Motherboard (Optional ARGB Sync):
    • If your motherboard has a 5V 3-pin Addressable RGB (ARGB) header, you can connect the ARGB sync cable from the control box to this header. This allows you to control the fan lighting via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
    • Note: Do not connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this will damage the fans.
  6. Kabelmanagement: Verlegen Sie alle Kabel ordentlich, um eine optimale Luftzirkulation und ein sauberes Erscheinungsbild zu gewährleisten.
  7. Letzte Schritte: Schließen Sie das Computergehäuse, schließen Sie die Stromversorgung wieder an und schalten Sie Ihr System ein.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

Once installed, you can control the ARGB lighting of your fans using either the included IR remote control or your motherboard's software (if connected to a 5V ARGB header).

5.1. Verwendung der Infrarot-Fernbedienung

The IR remote allows you to cycle through various lighting effects, adjust brightness, and change colors. Point the remote directly at the ARGB Control Box for optimal response.

  • Netzschalter: Turn ARGB lighting On/Off.
  • Modustasten: Cycle through different lighting modes and effects.
  • Geschwindigkeitstasten: Passen Sie die Geschwindigkeit der dynamischen Lichteffekte an.
  • Helligkeitstasten: Increase or decrease the brightness of the lighting.
  • Farbknöpfe: Select static colors or color cycling modes.

5.2. Motherboard ARGB Software Control

If you have connected the control box to your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you can use your motherboard's proprietary software to synchronize and customize the lighting effects. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions on using its ARGB software.

  • Ensure the ARGB sync cable is properly connected.
  • Install the latest version of your motherboard's RGB control software.
  • Select the appropriate ARGB device within the software to control the fans.

6. Wartung

Regelmäßige Wartung trägt dazu bei, eine optimale Leistung und Langlebigkeit Ihrer Ventilatoren zu gewährleisten.

  • Reinigung: Periodically clean the fan blades and frames to remove dust buildup. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
  • Inspektion: Prüfen Sie die Lüfterkabel auf Abnutzungserscheinungen oder Beschädigungen. Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Verbindungen fest sitzen.
