Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PC components.
- Dust Filters: The case features removable dust filters on the top and bottom. Periodically remove and clean these filters with compressed air or water to maintain good airflow.
- Tempered Glass: Clean tempered glass panels with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Interior: Use compressed air to remove dust from internal components and fans. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- 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/RGB Not Working: Verify that all fan and RGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard headers or a dedicated RGB controller. Check motherboard software for fan speed and lighting settings.
- No Display Output: Ensure your monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports, unless you are using integrated graphics). Reseat the graphics card and RAM modules.
