A fan-controller regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage 
may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ set on Medium or Low to a 
fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already 
lowered voltage from the fan controller will be further reduced by the TriCool™ 
circuitry below 5V.
The Top and Rear Exhaust TriCool™ Fans
External fan switches allow adjusting the speed of these two fans without having 
to open the case.
Note: We recommend that our users set these two fans to Low in order to cool 
the CPU more effectively.
The two fans are mounted so that the air is blowing out of the case. The top fan 
comes with a spoiler to mount on the top of the case.  
To install the spoiler:
1.     With the higher end of the spoiler facing the rear of the case, carefully align 
the tabs of the spoiler with the notches on the case.
2.     Insert the tabs to the notches and slide the spoiler towards the front of the 
case until it clicks into position.
The Lower Chamber TriCool™ Fan
This is a standard 120mm fan. This fan is placed in the middle of the lower 
chamber which acts like a wind tunnel when side panels are closed, which 
guarantees the air will move from the front to the rear when the fan turns.  
Note: We recommend setting the speed to Medium or Low.
Specifications:
Size:    
 
120 x 120 x 25.4mm TriCool™ Fan
Rated Voltage:    
DC 12V
Operating Voltage: 
10.2V ~ 13.8V
The Optional Fans 
There are two optional 120mm fan mounts – a front fan (in front of the upper 
HDD cage) and a middle fan (at the rear end of the upper HDD cage). These two 
fans should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case from the front.  
The Front Fan – The front fan is designed to enhance the HDD cooling. If you 
decide to mount any HDD into the upper cage, you will not be able to use the 
middle fan.
