7.2. Cleaning Tempered Glass Panels
Use a microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after assembly, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, PCIe power, SATA power) are securely connected. Check the power switch on the PSU and the wall outlet.
- No Display: Verify that the GPU is correctly seated in the PCIe slot and that the display cable is connected to the GPU (not the motherboard, unless using integrated graphics).
- Fans Not Spinning/No RGB: Check fan power connections to the motherboard or ARGB hub. Ensure the ARGB hub is powered and connected to the motherboard's ARGB header if using software control.
- Overheating: Confirm all fans are spinning in the correct direction for optimal airflow. Ensure CPU cooler and GPU fans are functioning. Clean dust filters.
- Loose Connections: Re-seat all components (RAM, GPU, storage drives) and re-check all cable connections.
