FAQs
How do I install the Gelid Solutions PCI Slot Fan Holder?
Installation is tool-free. Simply align the holder with an available PCI slot on your motherboard and gently push it in until it clicks securely.
What is the size of the fans included?
The fan holder comes equipped with two ultra-slim 120mm UV Blue fans.
Will this holder fit in any PCI slot?
It is designed for standard PCI slots. Ensure you have an available slot and sufficient clearance within your PC case.
How noisy are the fans?
The fans are engineered for low-noise, high-efficiency operation, aiming for a near-silent experience even at higher speeds.
Can I replace the fans if needed?
While the fans are integrated, their durability is high. Specific replacement procedures would depend on the fan's mounting mechanism within the holder.
Does the UV blue light require a separate connection?
Typically, the UV blue lighting is powered through the same fan connector. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific fan header capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Fans not spinning
Check that the fan power cables are securely connected to the motherboard fan headers or fan controller. Ensure the connected header is receiving power.
Excessive noise
Verify that the fan blades are not obstructed by any cables or components. Ensure the fan holder is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case.
Poor airflow
Check for dust buildup on the fan blades and clean them. Ensure the fan holder is installed correctly and not blocked by other components.
UV light not working
Confirm that the fan power connection is also supplying power for the UV LEDs, if they are separate. Some fan designs integrate LED power with fan power.
