Cooling System

The 120mm TriCool™ fans

The Fusion 430 comes with two 120mm TriCool™ fans preinstalled at the side of the case inside the motherboard chamber. These two fans are preinstalled at the side of the case next to the CPU for effective CPU cooling and have a three-speed switch that allows you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum cooling (Please see specifications below). The fans are installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect 4-pin connectors from the power supply to the 4-pin connector on the fans.

Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend our users to set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device. 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™ fan set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start.

The Bottom Air Intake

There are intake vents at the bottom of the case right under the HDD chamber. Cool air will flow into the vents through the hard drives, and then flow into the motherboard chamber and exhaust by the two 120mm TriCool™ fans.

Note: Do not place the Fusion v2 on a soft surface or over anything that will block the bottom air vents.

The Upper Air Intake

There are vents on the top panel above the PCI expansion slot. Cool air will flow through it into the motherboard chamber to cool the VGA card.

Note: Do not place anything on top of the Fusion 430 that will block the top air vents.

The Rear Air Intake

There are vents right above the rear I/O panel and on the PCI expansion slot covers to bring in cool air to the CPU and VGA card.
