### 2. Electronic & Electromechanical Features
#### A. Horizontal Vapor Chamber (HVC)
While primarily a thermal component, the Vapor Chamber is the "core" of this unit's efficiency. It acts as a massive heat spreader that interfaces directly with the CPU. It utilizes a phase-change cycle (liquid to gas) to move heat away from the processor much faster than solid copper.
#### B. 4th Generation POM Bearings
The electronic fans utilize Polyoxymethylene (POM) bearings.
* **Self-Lubricating:** These are designed to be dustproof and highly resistant to friction.
* **Electronic Protection:** The fan circuitry usually includes "Smart Fan Engine" features that stop the fan if it becomes obstructed to prevent motor burnout.
#### C. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Control
The fans utilize a **4-pin PWM interface**.
* **Pin 1:** Ground
* **Pin 2:** +12V Power
* **Pin 3:** Tachometer (Speed Signal sent to Motherboard)
* **Pin 4:** PWM Control Signal (Duty cycle signal sent from Motherboard)
This allows the PC to electronically adjust the fan speed from 600 RPM to 1,600 RPM based on real-time thermal data.
#### D. Integrated LED Circuitry
The "GTS" look is achieved through integrated Red LEDs. These are wired in parallel with the fan's power source, meaning their brightness often scales with the voltage/RPM if using DC control, though they remain consistent under PWM control.

### 3. Wiring Diagram Concept
The unit typically includes a "Y-splitter" cable to allow two fans to be powered by a single motherboard CPU_FAN header.
