6.1 Fan Function

The ARLBA CPU+GPU cooling fans are designed to dissipate heat generated by your laptop's central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU). They draw cooler air into the laptop and expel hot air, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and preventing thermal throttling, which can lead to performance degradation.

6.2 Fampifandraisana herinaratra

The fans utilize a standard 4-wire, 4-pin connector, operating at DC 12 Volts and drawing 1 Ampere of current. This connection allows the laptop's system to control fan speed based on temperature readings, ensuring efficient cooling.

  • Verify that the fan is correctly seated and not obstructed by other components.
  • Check BIOS/UEFI settings for fan control options (if applicable).
• Laptop Overheating / Poor Cooling:
  • Confirm that thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly to the CPU and GPU.
  • Ensure the heatsink is making proper contact with the CPU and GPU.
  • Verify that the fans are spinning and that airflow is unobstructed.
• Excessive Fan Noise (Whining/Whistling):
  • Check for any loose wires or debris that might be hitting the fan blades.
  • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the chassis.
  • While these fans are designed for quiet operation, some noise may be present under heavy load.
