3.3 Engineered Chimney Airflow Design

The case is engineered with a chimney airflow design, pulling fresh air directly from the bottom to cool the GPU and exhausting hot air upwards. This bottom-to-top cooling path is optimized for lower core temperatures and peak performance, especially beneficial for oversized GPUs.

4. Setup and Installation Guide

Before beginning installation, ensure your workspace is clean and static-free. Refer to your component manuals for specific installation instructions.

4.1 Preparing the Case

• Carefully remove the side tempered glass panel by unscrewing the single thumb screw at the rear and gently pulling it off.
• Remove the rear metal panel by unscrewing the thumb screw and sliding it off.
• Remove the top mesh panel by gently pulling it upwards; it is a tool-less design.

4.2 Motherboard Installation

• Install the necessary standoffs for your Micro ATX motherboard.
• Carefully place your motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws.

4.3 Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation

• The PSU mounts vertically in the rear chamber. Slide your PSU into the designated bracket and secure it with screws.
• Route the necessary power cables through the cutouts to the main chamber.

4.4 Storage Drive Installation

• The case includes a removable drive cage in the rear chamber. This cage supports 2x 2.5-inch drives and 1x 3.5-inch drive.
• Install your SSDs or HDDs into the cage and secure them. Reinstall the drive cage into the case.

4.5 Graphics Card (GPU) Installation

• Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers at the rear of the case.
• Insert your GPU into the PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it with screws.

4.6 Cooling System Installation

• The case comes with pre-installed fans. Additional fans or radiators can be mounted at the top, rear, and bottom as per specifications.
• Ensure proper airflow direction for optimal cooling (bottom/side intake, top/rear exhaust).

4.7 Cable Management

• Utilize the dual-chamber design and the included Velcro straps and tie-down points in the rear chamber to route and secure cables neatly.
• Ensure cables do not obstruct airflow or fan blades.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

• Press the large power button on the front I/O panel to turn on your PC.
• To turn off, use your operating system's shutdown function or press and hold the power button for a few seconds.

5.2 Using Front I/O Ports

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning Dust Filters

The case features dust filters on the top and bottom to prevent dust buildup. Regularly clean these filters to maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance.

• Gently remove the top mesh panel to access the top dust filter.
• The bottom dust filter can be slid out from the rear of the case.

6.2 Cleaning Glass Panels

Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PC case, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure all power cables (PSU, motherboard, components) are securely connected. Check the power outlet and PSU switch.
• Fans Not Spinning/RGB Issues: Verify fan and ARGB cables are correctly connected to the motherboard or fan hub. Check motherboard BIOS/software for fan speed and RGB settings.
• Overheating: Ensure all fans are spinning correctly and dust filters are clean. Verify proper component installation and thermal paste application.
• Loose Connections: Recheck all internal cable connections, especially after moving the PC.

For specific component-related issues, consult the respective component manuals (e.g., motherboard, GPU, PSU).
