Setup

Follow these general steps for assembling your PC within the Segotep T3 case:

1. Prepare the Case: Remove the side panels and front panel using the tool-less design.
2. Install Motherboard: Secure your ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard onto the standoffs.
3. Install CPU Cooler: Mount your CPU cooler (air or liquid) according to its specific instructions. Ensure proper clearance for air coolers (max 175mm height). For liquid coolers, utilize the top or side 360mm radiator mounts.
4. Install Graphics Card (GPU): Insert your graphics card into the PCIe slot. Use the pre-installed adjustable GPU bracket for support.
5. Install Storage Drives: Mount 2.5-inch SSDs or 3.5-inch HDDs in the designated drive bays behind the motherboard tray.
6. Install Power Supply (PSU): Install your power supply unit in its designated compartment.
7. Cable Management: Route all cables neatly through the cutouts and use cable ties or Velcro straps to secure them, ensuring optimal airflow and a clean build.
8. Install Additional Fans/Radiators: If desired, install additional fans or radiators in available mounting locations (up to 13 fans total).
9. Connect Front I/O: Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Type-C, Audio, Power, Reset) to your motherboard.
10. Close Panels: Reattach the side and front panels securely.

Operating

The Segotep T3 case is designed for efficient operation with its advanced airflow features. Ensure all fans are properly connected and functioning to maintain optimal temperatures. The 10° Smart Panel Air Ducts on the front panel can be opened to enhance airflow when needed, and closed to prevent dust entry during idle periods.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for prolonging the life of your PC components and ensuring consistent performance. The tool-less design of the Segotep T3 case makes maintenance straightforward.

• Dust Filter Cleaning: Periodically clean the dust filters located on the top and bottom of the case. These are designed to be easily removable for cleaning.
• Internal Cleaning: With the side panels removed, use compressed air to clear dust from fans, radiators, and other components.
• Cable Management Check: Occasionally check cable routing to ensure no cables are obstructing airflow or fan operation.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and potential solutions:

• Overheating: Ensure all fans are spinning correctly and dust filters are clean. Verify proper installation of CPU cooler and thermal paste. Check for any cable obstructions to airflow.
• Component Fit Issues: If a component (e.g., large GPU, thick radiator) does not fit, double-check the case specifications for maximum dimensions. The modular design allows for some flexibility in component placement.
• Front Panel I/O Not Working: Verify that all front panel cables are securely connected to the correct headers on your motherboard.
• RGB Lighting Issues: Ensure the ARGB fan is correctly connected to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or a dedicated controller. Use motherboard software to control lighting effects.
