• Motherboard Settings: Verify fan control and ARGB settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software.

5.2 System Overheating

• Airflow: Confirm that fans are installed with the correct orientation for intake and exhaust.
• Dust Buildup: Clean dust filters and internal components as described in the Maintenance section.
• Component Clearance: Ensure no cables or other obstructions are blocking airflow paths.

5.3 Front Panel Ports Not Functioning
