4.1TRICOOL™ FANS

Rear / Top TriCool™ Fan – There are 120 x 25 mm TriCool™ fans pre-installed at the rear and top of the case. They have external, three-speed switches that let you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum cooling on each of the fans. The default speed setting is Low. The two fans are mounted so that the air is blowing out of the case. There are externally accessible switches for these fans located at the top rear of your case.

Note: The minimum voltage to start a 120 mm TriCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed switch to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which 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 because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool™ circuitry below 5V.
