  • Verify that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's F_PANEL header.
  • Check all internal power connections (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, PCIe power for GPU).
• Fans Not Spinning:
  • Confirm that fan cables are securely connected to the motherboard fan headers or a fan controller.
  • Check BIOS/UEFI settings for fan speed control.
• ARGB Lighting Not Working:
  • Ensure the ARGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header (5V, 3-pin) or the integrated ARGB controller.
  • If using motherboard software, ensure the ARGB control button on the case is set to motherboard control mode (usually by holding the button).
  • Try cycling through modes using the case's ARGB control button.
• USB Ports Not Functioning:
  • Verify that the front panel USB cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB Type-C) are securely connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
