6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PC components.
6.1 Cleaning the Case
- Dust Filters: The case features magnetic dust filters. Regularly remove and clean them with compressed air or water (ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation).
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Interior: Use compressed air to remove dust from internal components and fan blades. Perform this with the system powered off and unplugged.
6.2 Tempered Glass Care
- Clean the tempered glass panel with a microfiber cloth and a glass cleaner.
- Avoid abrasive materials or cleaners that could scratch the glass.
- Do not apply excessive force or impact to the tempered glass.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to 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 power supply switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify front panel header connections (Power SW).
- Fans not spinning: Check fan connections to the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure they are securely plugged in.
- No display output: Confirm the GPU is properly seated and connected to power. Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the GPU, not the motherboard's integrated graphics port (unless using integrated graphics).
- USB ports not working: Verify the USB 3.0 and Type-C headers are correctly connected to the motherboard.
For more complex issues, consult your motherboard and component manuals or seek professional assistance.
