⚙️ Hardware Setup, Adjustments & FAQs

❓ My motherboard has 3-pin and 4-pin (PWM) headers. Which should I use? cfg_01
120mm fans typically use 4-pin (PWM) headers for precise speed control. If your fan is 3-pin, it will fit into a 4-pin header, but speed control may be limited. Use the 4-pin header if available and compatible with the fan.

⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

If the fan exhibits a manufacturing defect, such as not powering on despite correct connection, excessive bearing noise that doesn't improve with cleaning, or intermittent failure after troubleshooting attempts, contact support under the seller's warranty policy. These indicate issues not resolvable by the consumer.
