8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• System Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Verify that the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check all front panel header connections to the motherboard, especially the power switch pins.
  • Confirm the motherboard 24-pin and CPU 4/8-pin power connectors are securely seated.
• Fans Not Spinning/LEDs Not Lighting Up:
  • Check fan power connections. Ensure they are properly connected to the motherboard fan headers or directly to the PSU.
  • Verify the RGB LED Control switch connection to the motherboard (if applicable).
  • Some fans may have specific power requirements; ensure adequate power delivery.
• Limited Space for Components:
  • The chassis is compact. Ensure your components (e.g., CPU cooler, graphics card) adhere to the maximum supported dimensions (CPU cooler height: 165mm, GPU length: 255mm).
  • For larger components, careful planning and component selection are necessary.
• Poor Airflow/Overheating:
  • Ensure all 5 pre-installed fans are operational and correctly oriented for optimal intake and exhaust.
  • Clean dust filters regularly.
  • Verify that cables are managed to avoid obstructing airflow.
