3.3. Cable Management
Route all power and data cables through the designated cutouts and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray. This improves airflow and maintains a clean interior aesthetic. The removable HDD cage can assist in managing PSU cables.
3.4. Front Panel Connections
Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.2 Gen1 x1, USB 2.0 x1, HD Audio, Power, Reset, LED) from the case to the corresponding headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for exact header locations.
4. Operation
4.1. Power On
Once all components are installed and cables are connected, replace the side panel. Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cable to the PSU. Press the power button on the front panel to start your system.
4.2. RGB Lighting Control
The pre-installed RGB fan and any other addressable RGB components connected to the case can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB synchronization software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). Ensure the RGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard's 3-pin 5V ARGB header.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PC case and components.
- Dust Filter Cleaning: Periodically remove and clean any dust filters (if present) to maintain good airflow and prevent dust buildup inside the case.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish or tempered glass.
- Interior Dust Removal: Use compressed air to gently remove dust from internal components and fan blades. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PC build, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure the PSU is switched on, the power cable is securely connected, and all motherboard power connectors (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are properly seated. Check front panel power button connection to the motherboard.
- Fans Not Spinning: Verify that all fan cables are correctly connected to the motherboard fan headers or any fan controller. Check BIOS settings for fan control.
- RGB Lighting Not Working/Syncing: Confirm that the ARGB cable is connected to the correct 3-pin 5V ARGB header on the motherboard. Ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
- No Display Output: Ensure your graphics card is properly seated in its PCIe slot and all necessary power cables are connected. Check that your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard (if using a dedicated GPU).
