Nastavení a instalace
1. Směr proudění vzduchu
It is crucial to correctly orient the fan for optimal airflow within your computer case. The Thermalright TL-B14 fan is designed with specific airflow characteristics:
- Fan Blade In: Air flows into the fan from the side where the fan blades are most visible and unobstructed. This side typically has no support beams.
- Fan Frame Out: Air exits the fan from the side with the motor and support beams.
Image: The fan's airflow direction is indicated by the side where the blades are visible (air intake) versus the side with the frame supports (air exhaust).
For intake, position the fan so the visible blade side faces the direction from which you want to draw air. For exhaust, position the fan so the frame side faces the direction you want to push air towards.
2. Montáž ventilátoru
The TL-B14 fan is suitable for use as a case fan or with CPU coolers and radiators. It can be mounted using either the provided vibration-free mounts or standard screws, depending on your case and preference.
Video: This video demonstrates the installation process for a case fan, including how to use vibration-free mounts and screws to secure the fan to the computer case.
- Using Vibration-Free Mounts: Insert the thin end of the rubber mounts through the fan's mounting holes and then through the corresponding holes on your computer case. Pull the mounts through until the fan is securely held in place.
- Použití šroubů: Align the fan with the desired mounting location on your case or radiator. Use a screwdriver to secure the fan with the provided screws, tightening them evenly to prevent warping.

3. Připojení vodičů
Connect the fan's cables to the appropriate headers on your motherboard. The TL-B14 features both PWM for speed control and ARGB for lighting synchronization.
Video: This video provides a tutorial on connecting the fan's interface cables, including ARGB lighting and PWM signal synchronization, to the motherboard.
- PWM připojení: Locate a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard (often labeled "CHA_FAN" or "SYS_FAN"). Connect the fan's 4-pin PWM cable to this header. This allows your motherboard to control the fan speed based on system temperature.
- ARGB Lighting Connection: If your fan includes ARGB lighting, connect the 3-pin +5V ARGB connector to a compatible 3-pin +5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Ensure the arrows on the connectors align to prevent damage. Do NOT connect to a 4-pin +12V RGB header.
- Daisy Chaining (volitelné): If you have multiple ARGB fans, you can daisy-chain them using the provided ARGB extension cables to synchronize their lighting effects from a single motherboard header.
Obsluha ventilátoru
Once installed and connected, the Thermalright TL-B14 fan will operate based on the settings configured in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or through compatible fan control software. The 4-pin PWM connection enables automatic speed control, adjusting the fan's RPM according to your system's thermal load.
- Nastavení BIOSu/UEFI: Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing DEL or F2 during startup) to configure fan curves. You can set custom fan speeds based on CPU or system temperatures to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
- Ovládání softwaru: Many motherboards come with proprietary software that allows for fan speed and RGB lighting control directly from your operating system. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific software options.

Údržba
Pravidelná údržba zajistí dlouhou životnost a optimální výkon vašeho ventilátoru.
- Čištění: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the fan is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
- Ložisko: The S-FDB V2 bearing is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble the bearing, as this may void your warranty and damage the fan.
- Dynamická rovnováha: The fan blades feature a triple dispensing balance technology, indicated by small red mud glue dots. Do not remove these, as they are essential for maintaining dynamic balance and performance.

Odstraňování problémů
- Ventilátor se netočí:
- Zkontrolujte, zda je 4pinový kabel PWM bezpečně připojen ke konektoru ventilátoru základní desky.
- Verify that the fan header is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.
- Ensure your power supply is providing adequate power to the system.
- Bez RGB osvětlení:
- Confirm the 3-pin +5V ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible ARGB header on the motherboard. Check for proper arrow alignment.
- Ensure your motherboard's ARGB software or BIOS settings are configured to control the lighting.
- Do not connect to a 4-pin +12V RGB header, as this can damage the fan's LEDs.
- Nadměrný hluk:
- Zkontrolujte, zda do lopatek ventilátoru nenarážejí nějaké překážky (kabely, nečistoty).
- Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. Use vibration-free mounts if available.
- Adjust the fan speed curve in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software to a lower RPM at idle temperatures.
