- I/O Shield: Install your motherboard's I/O shield into the rear opening of the case.
- Mounting: Carefully align your motherboard with the standoffs and gently lower it into place. Secure the motherboard with the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
3. Component Installation
- Power Supply Unit (PSU): Install your PSU into its designated compartment, typically at the bottom rear of the case. Secure it with screws.
- Storage Drives: Install SSDs/HDDs into the available drive bays. The case supports multiple drive configurations.
- Graphics Card (GPU) & Expansion Cards: Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers. Insert your graphics card and other expansion cards firmly into their respective slots on the motherboard and secure them with screws.
- CPU Cooler: Install your CPU cooler according to its specific instructions. Ensure proper clearance within the case.
4. Cable Management
Utilize the ample space and cable routing cutouts behind the motherboard tray to manage cables. This improves airflow and aesthetics.
- Connect all necessary power cables from the PSU to the motherboard, GPU, and drives.
- Connect front panel headers (USB, audio, power, reset, LED) to the motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for correct pinouts.
- Ensure ARGB fan cables are connected to the appropriate ARGB controller or motherboard header for lighting control.
5. Final Assembly
Once all components are installed and cables are managed, reattach the tempered glass panels. Ensure they are securely fastened.
Operating Instructions
Powering On
- Connect the power cable from your PSU to a wall outlet.
- Flip the power switch on the PSU to the 'ON' position.
- Press the power button on the front panel of the case.
ARGB Lighting Control
The 5 pre-installed ARGB Infinity fans can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (if supported) or a dedicated ARGB controller (if included or purchased separately). Refer to your motherboard's manual or the controller's instructions for specific lighting effects and synchronization.
- Software Control: Many modern motherboards offer software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) to manage ARGB lighting.
- Manual Control: If a physical controller is present, use its buttons to cycle through lighting modes, colors, and speeds.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your PC case and components.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust filters (if present) and internal components using compressed air. Dust accumulation can hinder airflow and cooling performance.
- Glass Panel Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a glass cleaner (non-abrasive) to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Fan Cleaning: Gently clean fan blades with a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure fans are not spinning during cleaning.
- Cable Check: Occasionally check internal cable connections to ensure they are secure and not obstructing airflow.
