3.2 Component Compatibility Overview
Before installing components, review the maximum supported dimensions for your hardware to ensure compatibility with the ZOFOS ULTRA case.

Install the necessary standoffs for your motherboard form factor (E-ATX, ATX, M-ATX, or ITX). Carefully place your motherboard onto the standoffs, aligning the screw holes. Secure the motherboard with the provided screws.
3.4 Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation
Mount your ATX power supply into the designated PSU bay. Ensure the PSU fan faces the correct direction for optimal airflow, typically downwards if there is a filtered vent, or upwards if drawing air from inside the case. Secure the PSU with screws from the rear of the chassis.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning Dust Filters
The ZOFOS ULTRA is equipped with magnetic dust filters for easy removal and cleaning. Regularly clean these filters to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup inside your PC. Simply remove the filters, clean them with water or a soft brush, and reattach them once dry.
5.2 General Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. For tempered glass panels, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6. Troubleshooting
- System Not Powering On: Double-check all power connections, including the 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, and GPU power cables. Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Fans Not Spinning/ARGB Not Working: Verify that all fan and ARGB headers are correctly connected to the motherboard or a dedicated controller. Check the front panel ARGB control button.
- No Display Output: Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard integrated graphics, unless you are using integrated graphics). Reseat the graphics card and RAM modules.
- Overheating Issues: Confirm all fans are installed correctly and spinning. Clean dust filters and ensure proper airflow within the case. Check CPU cooler and GPU cooler mounting.
