Ensure the power supply is properly connected to the wall outlet and switched on.
Verify all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, PCIe for GPU) are securely connected to the motherboard and components.
Check that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header. Refer to your motherboard manual for correct pin assignments.

5.2. Poor Airflow or Overheating

Ensure all pre-installed fans are spinning correctly.
Clean the dust filters regularly, especially the top magnetic filter.
Verify that fans are oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake at front, exhaust at rear/top).
Improve cable management to reduce obstructions to airflow.

5.3. ARGB Fans Not Lighting Up or Syncing

Check that the ARGB fan cables are properly connected to the fan controller or motherboard's ARGB header.
Ensure the fan controller (if present) is receiving power.
Use the LED Control Button on the front I/O panel to cycle through modes.
If connected to the motherboard, ensure the motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
