Product Overview

Sr. no Question Answer
1 What is the KARNAGE Sunbeam Series? The KARNAGE Sunbeam Series is a range of ARGB case fans designed to provide efficient airflow, low-noise operation and customizable lighting for gaming and performance PC builds.
2 Which sizes are available in the Sunbeam Series? The Sunbeam Series is available in 120 mm, 240 mm and 360 mm configurations.
3 What is the difference between the three Sunbeam sizes? The core fan configuration and features are the same. The main difference is the number of connected 120 mm fan sections: the 120 mm model has one fan section, the 240 mm model has two fan sections and the 360 mm model has three fan sections.
4 Which colours are available? All three Sunbeam sizes are available in White and Black.
5 What is the operating-speed range? The Sunbeam Series operates between 800 and 2000 RPM through PWM control.
6 How much airflow does the Sunbeam Series provide? The Sunbeam Series is rated for airflow of up to 65.5 CFM.
7 What type of bearing is used? The fans use hydraulic bearings for smooth, reliable and low-noise operation.
8 How many blades does each fan section have? Each 120 mm fan section uses a nine-blade design for balanced airflow and cooling performance.
9 Does the size affect performance and installation? The fan technology remains the same, but the larger 240 mm and 360 mm models cover more mounting positions and require more cabinet space.

Quick Setup Guide

Sr. no Question Answer
1 How do I choose the correct Sunbeam size? Check the fan-mounting support listed in your cabinet specifications. Select the 120 mm model for one 120 mm position, the 240 mm model for two adjacent 120 mm positions or the 360 mm model for three adjacent 120 mm positions.
2 How do I install the Sunbeam fan? Align the fan assembly with the compatible mounting holes inside the cabinet and secure it using the included standard mounting screws.
3 Where can the Sunbeam Series be installed? Depending on cabinet support, it can be installed at the front, top, side, rear or bottom of the cabinet. The available location depends on the selected size and cabinet layout.
4 How do I identify the airflow direction? Air normally enters through the open side of the fan and exits through the side containing the support frame. Check the directional arrows on the fan housing where available.
5 Where should I connect the fan power cable? Connect the 4-pin PWM cable to a compatible motherboard fan header or PWM fan hub.
6 Where should I connect the lighting cable? Connect the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible 5V ARGB motherboard header or external 5V ARGB controller.
7 Are mounting screws included? Yes. Standard fan-mounting screws are included.
8 Should I check cabinet clearance before installation? Yes. Confirm that the cabinet supports the selected 120 mm, 240 mm or 360 mm mounting size and that nearby components do not obstruct the fan assembly.

Features & Customization

Sr. no Question Answer
1 Does the Sunbeam Series support Addressable RGB lighting? Yes. The Sunbeam Series uses Addressable RGB lighting for customizable colours and dynamic lighting effects.
2 Can I synchronize the lighting with other PC components? Yes. Lighting can be synchronized with compatible ARGB components through supported motherboard software or a compatible 5V ARGB controller.
3 Can the fan speed be customized? Yes. The 4-pin PWM connection allows fan speed to be adjusted between 800 and 2000 RPM.
4 Can I create a custom cooling curve? Yes. A custom PWM fan curve can be configured through the motherboard BIOS or supported fan-control software.
5 Can lighting and fan speed be controlled separately? Yes. The fan motor and ARGB lighting use separate connectors, allowing independent control.
6 Does the Sunbeam Series include anti-vibration protection? Yes. Rubber pads on the mounting corners help reduce vibration and operating noise.
7 Are the features the same across 120 mm, 240 mm and 360 mm models? Yes. The primary cooling, PWM, bearing, blade and ARGB features are consistent across the series. The main difference is the overall size and number of fan sections.
8 Can I use different lighting effects on the Sunbeam Series? Yes. Available effects depend on the connected motherboard lighting software or external ARGB controller.

Power Management

Sr. no Question Answer
1 What voltage does the fan motor require? The fan motor operates at 12V through the 4-pin PWM connection.
2 What voltage does the ARGB lighting require? The ARGB lighting operates at 5V through the 3-pin ARGB connection.
3 Can I connect the ARGB cable to a 12V RGB header? No. The 3-pin 5V ARGB connector must not be connected to a 4-pin 12V RGB header, as this may damage the lighting system.
4 Does the fan require separate connections for cooling and lighting? Yes. The 4-pin PWM connection controls the fan motor, while the 3-pin 5V ARGB connection controls the lighting.
5 Does PWM control help reduce noise and power usage? Yes. PWM control allows the fan to operate at lower speeds when maximum cooling is not required, helping reduce noise and unnecessary power consumption.
6 Will the fan always operate at 2000 RPM? No. The speed varies between approximately 800 and 2000 RPM according to the selected PWM profile and system temperature.
7 Can the fan operate without the ARGB cable connected? Yes. The cooling function can operate through the PWM connection even when the lighting cable is not connected.

Compatibility

Sr. no Question Answer
1 Which cabinets are compatible with the Sunbeam Series? The selected model must match the cabinet's supported fan-mounting size: 120 mm, 240 mm or 360 mm.
2 What motherboard connections are recommended? A 4-pin PWM fan header and a 3-pin 5V ARGB header are recommended for complete speed and lighting control.
3 Can the Sunbeam Series be used with a fan and ARGB hub? Yes, provided the hub supports 4-pin PWM fan control and 3-pin 5V ARGB lighting and remains within its rated power capacity.
4 Can I use the fan without an ARGB-compatible motherboard? Yes. A compatible standalone 5V ARGB controller can be used for lighting control.
5 Are the White and Black variants compatible with the same systems? Yes. The White and Black variants have the same mounting requirements, connections and performance.
6 Can a 240 mm model be installed in a 280 mm mounting position? Not necessarily. A 240 mm model uses 120 mm fan spacing, while a 280 mm position normally uses 140 mm fan spacing. Always verify the cabinet specification.
7 Can the 360 mm model fit in a compact cabinet? Only if the cabinet specifically supports a 360 mm fan or radiator mounting area and provides sufficient internal clearance.
