This page will cover the steps to install the fans; if the steps are never clear make sure to consult your manuals.
The steps to install the fans are as follows:
-
Most towers, when purchased, include a singular fan with it, so you're going to need 4 additional fans (5 if you
want to replace the included fan). Three of the fans are for exhaust and two of the fans are for in take.
The two intake fans go in the front, two of the exhaust fans go up top, and the last exhaust fan is in the back.
When installing the fans, make sure that the fans will be pushing air in the right direction, something that you
can determine by looking at the side of the fan. -
To install the front fans, carefully remove the front panel of the tower to access the area where the fans will go.
Orient the fans correctly and screw them to the tower using the longs screws that came with the tower. And put the
front panel back in place. - To install the top fans, the process changes depending on if there is a radiator up there or not.
If you do have a radiator, just orient the fans below the radiator and screw them into the tower (take
great caution as it will be a tight squeeze. If there is no radiator, you'll have to remove the top
panel of the motherboard, slide them into place and screw them into the case. - The back fan is the easiest; simply line it up and screw it in.
- Lastly, you have to connect the fans to the motherboard; you'll have to reference it's manual to see where,
the connections are. In the event that the motherboard doesn't have enough connectors for the fans, you'll
need a peripheral hub that will let multiple fans connect to in while only using one spot on the motherboard.
Congratulations, your fans are now installed
