2.2 Three Built-in 120mm 5V ARGB Fans
The case comes with three pre-installed 120mm 5V ARGB fans at the front. These fans provide vibrant lighting effects and can be controlled either via compatible motherboard synchronization software (from ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, and ASRock) or through the dedicated RGB switch located on the top I/O port. Long-pressing the RGB button for three seconds allows switching between physical button control and motherboard software control.

6.2 General Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. For the tempered glass panel, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 System Not Powering On
- Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the PSU and the wall outlet.
- Verify the PSU switch is in the 'On' position.
- Check all internal power connections, especially the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power cables to the motherboard.
- Confirm the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's F_PANEL header.
7.2 Fans Not Spinning/ARGB Not Working
- Check fan power connections to the motherboard or fan controller.
- Verify ARGB connections to the motherboard's 5V ARGB header or the integrated RGB controller.
- If using motherboard software, ensure it is installed and configured correctly.
7.3 Overheating Issues
- Ensure all case fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (front for intake, rear/top for exhaust).
- Clean any dust filters to prevent airflow restriction.
- Verify CPU cooler and GPU fans are functioning properly.
