Installation


 

Fitting a cooler to a system can be a mixed bag of difficulty depending on the mounting design. Generally speaking, air coolers fan can often be more straightforward and in this regard, the SilentiumPC Fera 3 certainly fits into that remit. All components are well packages and the manual is pleasantly easy to understand. As such, on the whole, users shouldn’t have any difficulties getting this installed.

Although this cooler is sync-compatible, you are given a manual controller should you wish to set the lighting effects up manually. The controller is, for a low-cost cooler, surprisingly good. The options (as to how to use it) are clearly labelled and it feels surprisingly durable in a market area where these often feel cheap and flimsy.

If I was going to level a criticism at the SilentiumPC Fera 3 installation, it would (perhaps surprisingly) be at the fan mounting system. The bracket to fit the fan to the radiator is amazingly awkward. In addition, it’s strange design means that it’s not entirely intuitive either. I’ll fully confess I had to refer to the box and manual before I fully understood how this went on correctly. Even then, I wasn’t entirely convinced about it.

In all honesty, I spend nearly as long trying to mount this fan as I did attaching the cooler to the CPU. If you figure it out fairly quickly though, installation should take no more than 20-minutes even for a beginner.
