Unboxing
Thermaltake has included all of the wires, screws and the control box needed to get all three Riing fans up and running in your system. They also included 2 full sets of screws, one set for mounting the fans onto a radiator and one set for mounting them directly to the case. Either way, it’s nice to see Thermaltake included a bit more than you need in the kit, plus PC builders can always use extra fan screws.
Now onto the installation!
