Setup

Follow these steps for the proper assembly and installation of your PC components into the SZSKYING ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case.

Step 1: Prepare the Case

1. Place the case on a stable, flat, and non-abrasive surface to prevent scratches.
2. Gently remove the tempered glass side panel by unlatching the buckle mechanism. Carefully set it aside on a soft, protective surface.

Step 2: Install the Power Supply Unit (PSU)

1. Locate the PSU mounting area at the bottom rear of the case.
2. Slide the PSU into position and secure it using the provided screws from the accessory kit.
3. Route the necessary PSU cables through the cable management cutouts to the main compartment, preparing for component connections.

Step 3: Install the Motherboard

1. Install the I/O shield (if applicable) into the rear opening of the case.
2. Align your ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard with the pre-installed standoffs inside the case.
3. Secure the motherboard with the appropriate screws from the accessory kit.

Step 4: Install Storage Drives

1. For 3.5" HDDs, locate the drive cages (typically near the PSU shroud) and slide the drives into place, securing them with screws.
2. For 2.5" SSDs, mount them to the designated SSD brackets, often located behind the motherboard tray or on the PSU shroud, using the provided screws.

Step 5: Install Graphics Card (GPU) and Expansion Cards

1. Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers from the rear of the case corresponding to your expansion cards.
2. Insert your graphics card or other expansion cards into the appropriate PCIe slots on the motherboard.
3. Secure the cards with screws to the case chassis.

Step 6: Connect Cables

1. Connect all power cables from the PSU to the motherboard (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU), GPU (PCIe power), and storage drives (SATA power).
2. Connect the front panel I/O cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Type-C, Audio, Power Switch, Reset Switch, LED indicators) to their respective headers on the motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific header locations.
3. Ensure the pre-installed ARGB fans and the RGB controller are properly connected. The RGB controller typically connects to a SATA power connector from the PSU and an ARGB header on your motherboard (if synchronization with motherboard software is desired).
4. Utilize the 90mm cable management space behind the motherboard tray to route and organize cables for a clean build, improved aesthetics, and optimized airflow.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your PC components.

Dust Filter Cleaning

The case is equipped with magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom to prevent dust from entering. Clean these filters regularly to maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency.

1. Gently lift and remove the magnetic dust filters from their respective positions.
2. Use a soft brush, a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, or compressed air to remove accumulated dust.
3. Once clean, reattach the filters securely to the case.

General Cleaning

For external surfaces and tempered glass panels, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges on glass, a small amount of mild glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth (never spray directly onto the glass or case). Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter during setup or operation.

No Power

• Ensure the power supply unit (PSU) is switched on at the back and properly connected to a functioning wall outlet.
• Verify all PSU cables are securely connected to the motherboard (24-pin, 8-pin CPU) and other components.
• Check that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the appropriate header on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual.

Fans Not Spinning / ARGB Not Lighting Up

• Confirm that the ARGB controller is receiving power, typically via a SATA power connector from the PSU.
• Check all connections between the fans and the ARGB controller.
• If attempting motherboard synchronization, ensure the controller is connected to a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard and that the motherboard software is correctly configured.
• Try using the included remote control or the front panel LED button to cycle through lighting modes to rule out software issues.

Overheating Issues

• Ensure all case fans are spinning in the correct direction for optimal airflow (typically bottom/side intake, top/rear exhaust).
• Clean dust filters and internal components to remove any accumulated dust that might impede airflow.
• Verify that your CPU cooler and GPU cooler are properly seated and functioning correctly.

Front USB Ports Not Functioning

• Check if the front panel USB cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Type-C) are correctly connected to their respective headers on the motherboard.
• Ensure your motherboard drivers, especially chipset and USB drivers, are up to date.
