Controlling ARGB Lighting

• The pre-installed ARGB fans can be controlled via the LED button on the top I/O panel. Press the button to cycle through different lighting modes.
• For advanced customization, if your motherboard supports Addressable RGB (ARGB) synchronization, connect the ARGB cables from the fans to your motherboard's ARGB header. This allows you to control the lighting directly through your motherboard's RGB software.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your computer case.

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust filters and internal components using compressed air or a soft brush. Dust accumulation can impede airflow and affect cooling performance.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish or tempered glass.
• Cable Management: Ensure cables are neatly routed to maintain good airflow and prevent interference with fans.
