Common questions

Does this fan use a standard ARGB header?

The specification lists a 3-pin 5 V ARGB connector and a 4-pin PWM connector. It is meant for standard motherboard or controller headers.

Is it a good radiator fan?

With 1.53 mmH2O rated static pressure it is more suited to open case airflow than dense radiators or heatsinks.
