Swiftech IRIS Eco Lighting and Fan Controller - V2

Light control chip on-board, allowing to change the color and intensity of Addressable type RGB LED's (ALED) - the chip provides 8 color choices + 3 dimming settings; the PCB is populated with three 3-pin ALED connectors, 1 push-button switch for light control, and one 2-pin connector for remote light control: by using the reset connector of your case control panel for example, you can change the lighting scheme of your entire system from the chassis reset button.

PWM hub function: the PCB is populated with four 4-pin fan connectors providing control of up to four PWM devices (fans and/or pumps) from a single PWM fan connector on the motherboard - we recommend using the CPU_fan connector for that purpose. This allows users to control the speed of all the connected PWM devices concurrently. The PWM signal from the motherboard CPU_fan controls the speed of the devices as a percentage of their maximum speed. For example, if you have a pump with a maximum speed of 3,000 RPM's, and 3 fans with a maximum speed of 1,000 RPM's connected to the hub, and if you set the CPU fan speed to 50% in your BIOS, then all devices will run at 50% of their maximum speed, i.e. the pump will run at 1500 RPM's, and the fans will run at 500 RPM's (please note that various PWM compatible devices may have different ramp-up speed curves, so these percentage will not necessarily result in the exact speeds described here).

Device speed: out of the four connectors on the PCB, one is identified by a Red Cap, and a CH1 marking : this is the PWM master connector. In effect, since only one RPM signal can be read by one motherboard connector, only channel 1 of the PWM hub carries an RPM signal; thus the motherboard will only read the RPM signal of the PWM device that is connected to channel 1. For example, if you connect the pump to CH1, and it has a 3,000 RPM maximum speed, then the motherboard will read up to 3,000 RPM for the pump speed, even if fans with a lower maximum speed are connected to the hub. Conversely, if you connect a fan with a 1000 RPM maximum speed to CH1, and a 3000 RPM pump to one of the other connectors, the speed detected by the Motherboard will only be that of the 1000 RPM fan.
