5. Instrucións de funcionamento
Once installed, the Phanteks D30-120 fans operate as follows:
- Control de velocidade do ventilador: 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.

6. Mantemento
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Phanteks D30-120 fans, periodic maintenance is recommended:
- Eliminación de po: 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.
- Comprobación do cable: Periodically check all cable connections (PWM and D-RGB) to ensure they are securely seated.
- Bearing Noise: While Fluid Dynamic Bearings are designed for quiet operation, listen for any unusual noises. Excessive noise might indicate an issue requiring further inspection.
7 Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your Phanteks D30-120 fans, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- O ventilador non xira:
- 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.
- Ruído excesivo:
- Check for any obstructions (cables, dust) interfering with the fan blades.
- Asegúrate de que o ventilador estea montado de forma segura e que non vibre contra a carcasa.
- Adjust fan speed settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software.
