4. Installatie en installatie
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Phanteks D30-120 fans:
- Plan Fan Placement: Determine the optimal placement for your fans within your PC case. Consider airflow direction (intake or exhaust) and choose between regular or reversed airflow models accordingly.
- Link Multiple Fans (Optional): If installing multiple fans together, align them and use the provided bridge connectors to physically link them. This creates a single, cohesive unit and simplifies cable management. Secure the screw cover plates over the bridge connectors for a clean look.

- Monteer de ventilatoren: Secure the fan(s) to your PC case or radiator using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fans are oriented correctly for your desired airflow.
- Voeding aansluiten (PWM): Connect the 4-Pin PWM fan cable from the fan unit (or the last fan in a linked series) to an available 4-Pin fan header on your motherboard. This allows for speed control.
- Connect D-RGB Lighting: Connect the 3-Pin JST D-RGB daisy-chain cable from the fan unit to a compatible 3-Pin Digital-RGB header on your motherboard or a Phanteks D-RGB controller.

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
Once installed, the Phanteks D30-120 fans operate as follows:
- Ventilatorsnelheidsregeling: The 4-Pin PWM connection allows your motherboard or fan controller to dynamically adjust the fan speed (250-2000 RPM) based on system temperature, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels.
- D-RGB Lighting Control: The D-RGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) or a dedicated Phanteks D-RGB controller. This allows for customization of colors, effects, and synchronization with other D-RGB components.

- Luchtstroomrichting: Ensure the fans are pushing air in the intended direction for your cooling setup. Regular models typically push air from the front (logo side) to the back, while reversed models push air from the back to the front.

6. Onderhoud
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Phanteks D30-120 fans, periodic maintenance is recommended:
- Stofverwijdering: Regularly 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 before cleaning.
- Kabelcontrole: Periodically check all cable connections (PWM and D-RGB) to ensure they are securely seated.
- Lagergeluid: While Fluid Dynamic Bearings are designed for quiet operation, listen for any unusual noises. Excessive noise might indicate an issue requiring further inspection.
7. Probleemoplossing
If you encounter issues with your Phanteks D30-120 fans, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Ventilator draait niet:
- Ensure the 4-Pin PWM cable is securely connected to the motherboard fan header.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or fan control software to ensure the fan header is enabled and configured correctly.
- Verify that your power supply is providing adequate power to the system.
- D-RGB Lighting Not Working/Incorrect Colors:
- Ensure the 3-Pin JST D-RGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible Digital-RGB header (5V, not 12V RGB).
- Check your motherboard's RGB software or Phanteks D-RGB controller settings.
- If multiple fans are linked, ensure all bridge connectors are properly seated.
- Overmatig lawaai:
- Check for any obstructions (cables, dust) interfering with the fan blades.
- Zorg ervoor dat de ventilator stevig is bevestigd en niet tegen de behuizing trilt.
- Adjust fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software.
