Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fans are not spinning or lighting up. | Loose power connection, incorrect hub connection, or software issue. | Check all fan and ARGB hub connections. Ensure hubs are powered via SATA. Verify motherboard ARGB/PWM headers are correctly connected and configured in BIOS/software. |
| Poor airflow or high temperatures. | Blocked dust filters, incorrect fan orientation, or insufficient fan speed. | Clean dust filters. Ensure fans are oriented correctly for intake/exhaust. Adjust fan speeds via BIOS or fan control software. Consider adding more fans if necessary. |
| ARGB lighting is not synchronized. | Incorrect ARGB header connection or software conflict. | Ensure the case's ARGB cable is connected to the motherboard's 3-pin 5V ARGB header (not 4-pin 12V RGB). Use the motherboard's ARGB software for synchronization. |
